4. INSTALLATION AND ELECTRIC CONNECTION Place of installation should be selected so that proper place should be available for handling. Gauges measuring gases should be mounted to the highest point, liquids to the lowest points of the tank or pipe. ASES IQUIDS ...
4.1 W IRING Transmitters used 2-wire systems with power supply 10…36 V DC. Resistance of the units in the loop depends on the voltage of the power supply. For wiring shielded cable suggested in the Technical Data should be used. ...
5. PUTTING INTO OPERATION, PROGRAMMING Transmitter installed and wired correctly will after powering operate according settings Manufacturer (Default). Operability is indicated by lighting of the LED VALID. The value of the actual loop current can be measured by a voltage meter (set for 200 mV range) with an accuracy of 0.5 %.
5.1 P ROGRAMMING Adjustment of the unit to the conditions of the application will be carried out by programming parameters with the aid of the push buttons and following the procedure on the display of the SAP–203 module. The NIVOPRESS is fully operational without the SAP–203 it is only needed for programming and/or displaying measurement values.
5.1.1 Display and keys of the SAP 203 display module. Symbols on the screen Symbols on the frame – pointer (showing to the relevant engineering unit) Pressure engineering units (bar, mbar, psi) LEV – „ON” indicating level measurement mode Level engineering units (m, ft) ...
5.1.2 Steps of programming Programming will be performed by pressing and releasing the relevant one or two keys (simultaneously). The following description is for overview only, detailed programming is to find in 5.1.3 y or yy parameter address (0, 1, …19) xxxx or xxxxx parameter value (dcba) or calibration/measurement value bargraph...
5.1.3 Parameters – descriptions and programming WARNING! During installation the zero point of the transmitter may be shifted. It is suggested to make a correction in P7 - - - a Assignment of 4 mA to the measured (lowest) value - - - a Assignment of 20 mA to the measured (highest) value The lowest and highest (limit) value of the (pressure or level) range is to be assigned to the 4 and 20 mA output current.

The zero point of the transmitter can be shifted (offset) within and outside of the range, which might be useful instrument for special level gauging applications. This can also performed in the parameter P7. Zero point of the transmitter can be shifted up to the 50% of the range. Doing so the active measurement range will be reduced by the distance of „e”...
