GETTING STARTED (continued)
Getting Around:
LVU800 Series is configured by the use of three push buttons (UP, DOWN and SELECT) and a LCD display. As a
lockout feature, the buttons are inactive until the SELECT button is held down for 5 seconds, and then the
display will begin to scroll through the top level of the configuration menu.
Steps for Basic Configuration:
1. Select and Set the units of operation in the UNITS menu.
2. Configure the Sensor Height and Fill‐H under the TANK menu.
3. Set the SAFE value.
