    4. INSTALLATION 4.1. M OUNTING AND WIRING The probe has to be installed vertically and for non-conductive materials reference probe should be used. The NIVOCAP probes are mounted by 1" or 1½" process connections using S = 41 or S = 55 open end wrench, respectively. It is recommended to fix the bottom end of the cable probes.

    EMPERATURE Electronics of the unit should be protected with shelter against development of too high-temperature by direct sunshine. IRING  Power must be switched off before wiring the unit.  This instrument use electronic components that may be damaged by static electricity thus apply precautions commonly used e.g., touching a properly grounded point before removing cover of the enclosure ...

    5. PROGRAMMING Since NIVOCAP is not measuring level directly, the basic element of the programming is measurement (learning) at two different levels during which the instrument is learning conditions of the actual application (shape of the tank, medium to be measured, etc.). To reach accuracy given in the table of the Technical Data these two levels should be possibly near to both end of the (rod or cable) probes (See Operation and Programming of NIVOCAP on page 4) Learning will be represented (with Programming Without Display Module 5.1 and with QUICKSET) by the adjustment of 4 and 20 mA better to say assignment of 0% and 100% to these two output values respectively.

    5.1. P ROGRAMMING WITHOUT DISPLAY MODULE ROGRAMMING FEATURES  4 mA output current (direct) assignment to the minimum (0%) level  20 mA output current (direct) assignment to the maximum (100%) level  4 mA output current (indirect) assignment to the minimum (0%) level by means of an intermediate level ...
  • Page 15 Indirect assignment of the minimum and maximum level to the output current with partially filled tank For this programming the output current is to be measured on the test points as described in 4.2. Should higher accuracy be needed the current meter should be inserted in the 4…20 mA loop.

    5.2. P SAP–202 ROGRAMMING WITH THE DISPLAY MODULE The NIVOCAP should be adjusted to the process by programming the parameters. The SAP–200 Display Module can be used to display the parameters while programming and measurement values during measurement. The SAP–200 supports two separately accessible programming modes as below. QUICKSET (See 5.2.5) This feature is for quick programming of the 4 basic parameters like with programming without display module but aided by images on the display.

The NIVOCAP can simulate the static or continuous change of level according to the simulation cycle time, high level and low-level set in P85, P86 and P87. (The simulation levels must be within the programmed measuring range set in P04 and P05.) After selecting simulation type in P84 and setting simulation values Measurement Mode has to be re-entered.
