Page 5: Introduction
Page 5 INTRODUCTION 1.1. SYSTEM DESCRIPTION OF THE F073-T Functions and features The level monitor model F073-T is a microprocessor driven instrument designed to display level, percentage or the height as well as the monitoring of the level for high / low values. This product has been designed with a focus on: ... -
Page 6: Operational
Page 6 OPERATIONAL 2.1. GENERAL The F073-T may only be operated by personnel who are authorized and trained by the operator of the facility. All instructions in this manual are to be observed. Take careful notice of the " Safety rules, instructions and precautionary measures " in the front of this manual. -
Page 7: Operator Information And Functions
Page 7 2.3. OPERATOR INFORMATION AND FUNCTIONS In general, the F073-T will always act at Operator level. The information displayed is dependent upon the SETUP-settings. The signal generated by the connected sensor is measured by the F073-T in the background, whichever screen refresh rate setting is chosen. After pressing a key, the display will be updated quickly during a 30 second period, after which the update frequency will slow-down again. -
Page 8: Operator Alarms
Page 8 2.4. OPERATOR ALARMS Level alarm When the actual level is outside the allowed range, an alarm message will be displayed indicating the type of alarm: LO LEVEL, HI LEVEL. The alarm is terminated automatically as soon as the level is within its range again. ... -
Page 9: Configuration
Page 9 CONFIGURATION 3.1. INTRODUCTION This and the following chapters are exclusively meant for electricians and non-operators. In these, an extensive description of all software settings and hardware connections are provided. Mounting, electrical installation, start-up and maintenance of the instrument may only be carried out by trained personnel authorized by the operator of the facility. - Page 10 Page 10 Matrix structure SETUP-level: SCROLLING THROUGH SETUP-LEVEL Selection of function-group and function: SETUP is divided into several function groups and functions. Each function has a unique number, which is displayed below the word at the bottom of the SETUP display.

Page 15: Display
Page 15 4 - DISPLAY The small 8mm digits can be set to display: UNDER height - percentage - off This function determines if the level alarm values can be set at both SET ALARM Operator level and SETUP-level or SETUP-level only. If SETUP has been selected, the alarm values are still visible for the Operator but cannot be changed. -
Page 16: Sensor
Page 16 6 - SENSOR The resistive signal of a sensor mirrors the actual level. This signal is FILTER measured several times a second by the F073-T. The value measured is a "snap-shot" of the real level as it will be fluctuating. With the help of this digital filter a stable and accurate reading can be obtained while the filter level can be set to a desired value. -
Page 17: Others
Page 17 6 - SENSOR (CONTINUED) With this setting it is possible to calibrate the input value for 100% as the CALIBR. HIGH / 100% signal from the sensor might not reflect it’s reference value at maximum level. This function will measure the provided resistance value at maximum level. -
