GETTING STARTED
LVU800 Series can be configured before installation. The switch features non‐volatile memory, so the set
points configured before installation will not be lost when the switch is powered down. To start, all you need
is the following information:
Basic Tank Information:
o HEIGHT – Distance from the transducer face to the bottom of
the tank.
o FILL‐H – Maximum fill height of the liquid from the bottom of
the tank.
o These values will all be in the same distance value (inches,
centimeters, feet or meters) and will all be measured from the
bottom of the tank.
Power:
o Provide 12 to 28 VDC input power to the LVU800 Series.
