Planning/configuring
3.6 Alarm Delay Function
7. Slowly turn the trip point potentiometer (P2) clockwise until the yellow sensor status LED
(L1) just turns off.
8. Enable RUN mode by setting DIP switch S5 to OFF (rocker down).

Alarm Delay Function
If you want to slow the Pointek CLS200 response, to compensate for turbulence or false
readings, set a delay interval using the delay potentiometer (P1) and set DIP switches S1
and/or S2 to the OFF position to enable the delay for either alarm activation (S1 OFF), alarm
de-activation (S2 OFF), or both (S1 and S2 OFF).
Note: This information can usually be found inside the device cover.
If an immediate alarm output is critical, disable the delay by setting the appropriate switch
(either S1 or S2) to ON. The functioning of switches S1 and S2 depends on the alarm setting:
High alarm/ overfill protection
Low alarm/ dry run protection
3.7
Testing the Alarm Delay
This test procedure assumes that you have completed one of the calibration processes
described previously.
1. Grasp the probe with your hand. The yellow sensor status LED (L1) should turn on
immediately. The red output status LED (L2) should turn on after a delay.
2. Turn the delay potentiometer (P1) clockwise about 1/8 of a turn.
3. Turn DIP switch S4 to the ON position; this will simulate a change in state of the probe
(covered/uncovered).
4. L1 (the yellow LED) should turn on immediately, and L2 (the red LED) should turn on after a
longer delay than in Step 1.
5. Turn DIP switch S4 to the OFF position.
6. Continue to adjust the delay potentiometer (P1) until you have the desired delay.

Operation
After completing the setup, replace the lid and secure the lid clip. Pointek CLS200 Standard
model is now ready to operate.
