DIFFERENTIAL LIQUID LEVEL CONTROLLER DLLC7000 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The DLLC7000 is a programmable, rangeable device used for liquid level control within a desirable region, in open tanks of height from 10cm up to 500cm, with analog sensor and digital output. Its operation is based on the measurement of liquid’s hydrostatic pressure.
User’s & Technical Manual – DIFFERENTIAL LIQUID LEVEL CONTROLLER DLLC7000 DLLC7000 VERSIONS DLLC7000 VERSIONS DLLC7000 is provided in two versions with different pressure sensors, in order to meet a wide range of level measurement application needs. DLLC7000-S1 DLLC7000-S5 Operating pressure range 0-10 kPa (1.45 psi)

User’s & Technical Manual – DIFFERENTIAL LIQUID LEVEL CONTROLLER DLLC7000 FUNCTION/CALIBRATION BUTTON The Function/Calibration button is used during calibration process and operating mode selection (FILLNG/DRAINING). Refer to the relevant sections in this manual for more information. ON-BOARD POTENTIOMETER (KNOB) The potentiometer’s position, adjusts the liquid’s Target level (TL) into the tank.
Temperature Compensated & Calibrated, this sensor is laser trimmed for precise Span, Offset calibration and temperature compensation. Having a gauge pressure sensor, the DLLC7000 uses the atmospheric pressure as a reference. This means that it must be installed in a vented electronic panel in order to have the same pressure conditions with the measured tank, which is open/vented by default.

Don’t install the tube deeper than your DLLC7000 version allows. The excessive applied pressure can cause permanent damage or degradation to the device’s pressure sensor.

User’s & Technical Manual – DIFFERENTIAL LIQUID LEVEL CONTROLLER DLLC7000 CONNECTION TUBES The adaptors are suitable for 6/4mm tubes and the supported types are PA6, PA11, PA12, Polyurethane, Polyethylene, PTFE and FEP. Ensure that the tubes meet the operating requirements of your application (pressure, temperature, safety etc.).
In the back side of DLLC7000, there is a clip for the mechanical mounting (lock) on an Ω- type mounting rail (DIN NS32/NS35), with the release hook at the bottom. The device should have at least 60mm free space below it for the air pipes and 15mm on top of it, for the wires.

Re-calibrating Low Level will solve the issue, refer to the relevant section. DLLC7000 has a gauge pressure sensor which uses the atmospheric pressure as a reference. Therefore, the application tank must be open or vented and the measured fluid constantly under atmospheric pressure.

(1m of water in DLLC000-S1 / 5m of water in DLLC7000-S5), unless otherwise stated on the product label. So, the level which generates the maximum output signal corresponds to the maximum pressure that your version can handle.
DIFFERENTIAL LIQUID LEVEL CONTROLLER DLLC7000 10. ELECTRICAL SECTION ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS The DLLC7000 housing is equipped with 6 connection terminals, two triple screw terminal blocks per side (top & bottom). The terminal blocks are manufactured to provide resistance to stress corrosion cracking, electrolytic corrosion, rusting and screw loosening in case of vibrations.

User’s & Technical Manual – DIFFERENTIAL LIQUID LEVEL CONTROLLER DLLC7000 OPERATING PHILOSOPHY – LEVEL DESCRIPTION The DLLC7000 operating philosophy is based on a desirable working region and four critical liquid levels, which can be calibrated from the user to meet the application requirements.
Page 18
User’s & Technical Manual – DIFFERENTIAL LIQUID LEVEL CONTROLLER DLLC7000 The user can program the (DL) at a desirable level following the calibration process, without changing the other two le vel values. The Differential Level (DL) you select each time, is stored in the unit’s memory as a percentage of (HL).
Page 19
Notice that according to the described example’s steps, for every (TL) you select with the potentiometer, the (DL) will be 12,5% less. PRESELECTED VALUES The standard version DLLC7000-S1 can control the liquid level in tanks with height from 10cm to 100cm and has the below preselected values and parameters. ...
User’s & Technical Manual – DIFFERENTIAL LIQUID LEVEL CONTROLLER DLLC7000 12. LEVEL CALIBRATION PROCESS With this process, you can calibrate the device to store the required parameters, in order to function according to your application needs. Follow the appropriate steps for each level calibration.
13. FILLING / DRAINING OPERATING MODES DLLC7000 has two programmable operating modes for liquid level control, FILLING MODE and DRAINING MODE. The user determines whether the level control is done through filling or draining mode.

(DL). OPERATING MODE SELECTION (F/D) You can see the mode that the DLLC7000 unit operates by the flashing colour of the LED just after the device power supply. According to the pre-programmed operating mode, the led flashes for three seconds with the corresponding color.
User’s & Technical Manual – DIFFERENTIAL LIQUID LEVEL CONTROLLER DLLC7000 NOTE When power is interrupted and the liquid level is between the (TL) and the (DL), the relay will be de-activated. After the power is restored, if the device is operating in filling mode, the relay will be activated and the tank will fill up to the (TL).
