V. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION FUNCTION The TDR-3000 two-wire guided microwave level transmitter uses the TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry) principle. The instrument sends low power nanosecond-wide pulses along an electrically conductive probe with a known propagation speed (the speed of light). As the pulse reaches the surface of the medium or phase of two liquids (altered dielectric constant ԑ... - Page 8 Gas (II 1G Ex ia IIB T6...T4 Ga) Voltage A = 12VDC to 36VDC, Ex 12VDC to 30VDC TDR-3000 Guided Wave Radar NOTES 1.

VIII. SET- UP PROGRAMMING Units shipping directly from the factory have been programmed according to the customer requirements on the Application Data Sheet (ADS). If no changes to the tank have occurred, unit will be ready for use after installation and no additional programming is required. - Page 19 PROGRAMMING WITH THE DISPLAY PROGRAMMING WITH THE DISPLAY UNIT The most important parameters can be set with the display unit. By default, the display shows the primary measurement result (from which the output current is calculated). In addition to the measured value displayed in large numbers, a bar graph representing the value of the output current is also shown on the right.
- Page 20 The Behavior of the TDR while Programmed Manually By default, the TDR displays the main measurement data on the display (hereafter referred to as display). Enter the programming menu by pressing the E button. Use the / buttons to navigate through the menu items.

Page 28: Maintenance
IX. MAINTENANCE The TDR-3000 does not require maintenance on a regular basis. In some very rare instances, however, the probe may need a cleaning from deposited material. This must be carried out gently, without damaging the probe. Repairs during or after the warranty period are carried out exclusively at the manufacturing facility. The equipment sent back for repairs should be cleaned or neutralized (disinfected) by the user. - Page 29 Current Output value < 4 mA Execute the calibration if you have The calibration of the current output is authorized access or contact Bindicator incorrect. Customer Support. This happens in case the range 4-20 mA/ error 22 mA is selected.
