NIVOTRACK M–500 / 600 units do not require maintenance on a regular basis. Repair during or after the guarantee period should only be carried out by NIVELCO. Devices for repair should be returned fully cleaned, and disinfected. Unused devices must be stored within the ambient temperature range specified in the technical data, and a maximum of 98% relative humidity.
These effects can be attenuated in applications with rigid tube probes by the use of stilling pipe along the whole probe. Please consult with a NIVELCO distributor! To ensure consistent and durable operation the measurement medium should be free of suspended solid materials, which could stick between the float •...
TTENTION In order to avoid damaging the probe, do not put it to torsion when installing or removing the unit. Therefore, special care has to be taken when the process connection is being screwed into or out of the flange. The best is to hold the rigid part of the probe with a suitable tool as long as the process connection is tightened to its place.
4.2.1. Wiring of Ex certified units 200mV MultiCONT Ex power supply 250 Ohm HART With HART Standard With MULTICONT 4.3. L OOP CURRENT CHECKING After removing the cover and the display module the actual loop current can be measured with an accuracy of 0.5% by connecting a voltmeter (in the range of 200 mV) to the points indicated on the drawing above.
If the transmitter is left in Programming Mode by mistake, it will automatically return to Measurement Mode after 30 minutes and modifications will be unsaved. FACTORY SETTINGS The NIVOTRACK M-500 / 600 type transmitters will be delivered with the following Factory default values: ⇒ Measurement mode: level (LEV). Displayed value shows level.
The SAP–300 module The SAP–300 is a 64 × 128 dot-matrix LCD display which can be plugged into the L:2.345m transmitter. (Universal – usable in other NIVELCO devices as well – provided that the 200.000 system software supports SAP-300.) Warning! The SAP–300 module is based on LCD technology, so please make sure it is not...

5.2. P –300 ROGRAMMING WITH THE SAP DISPLAY UNIT When entering the menu the instrument makes a copy of the actual parameters, all changes are done to this duplicated parameter set. During programming the instrument keeps measuring and transmitting with the current (and intact) parameter set. After exiting the menu the instrument replaces the original parameters with the new parameter set and will measure according the new parameters.
Dialog window WARNING The system sends messages or warnings using dialog windows. These usually can be acknowledged by LOAD DEFAULT TO pressing the button or the user can choose between two options (usually YES or NO) by pressing PARAMETER TABLE! ARE YOU SURE? buttons.
5.3. P ROGRAMMABLE FEATURES DESCRIPTION 5.3.1. Basic measurement settings 5.3.1.1 Units Default measuring unit: Parameter: P00: c, where a: 0, 1. Default value: Menu path: BASIC SETUP / UNITS/ENGINEERING SYSTEM (for USA versions: US) Description: This should be configured as the first step of the programming. Here you can choose the default unit system: European unit system •...
5.3.1.3 Damping time Parameter: Default value: 0 sec Menu path: BASIC SETUP / DAMPING TIME Description: Damping time is used to damp the unwanted fluctuations of the output and display. If the measured value changes rapidly the new value will settle with 1% accuracy after this set time.
5.3.2. Analogue Output 5.3.2.1 Output current mode Parameter: P12: b, where a: 0, 1. Default value: AUTO Menu path: OUTPUT SETUP / ANALOG OUTPUT / CURRENT MODE Description: Transmission mode of the current output [AUTO, MANUAL] AUTO The output current is calculated from the measured value, output is •...
5.3.2.4 Output current error mode Parameter: P12: a, where a: 0, 1, 2 Default value: HOLD Menu path: OUTPUT SETUP / ANALOG OUTPUT / ERROR MODE Description: Error indication by the current output HOLD Error indication has no effect on the output current. •...
5.3.4. Calculation 5.3.4.1 Zero point offset (Distance between the lowest position of the float and the bottom of the tank) Parameter: Default value: Menu path: CALCULATION / LEVEL OFFSET Description: This Parameter is used for zero point offset. In level measurement mode the zero level is meant at the lowest position of the float. Due to the construction of the device, it cannot able to measure the level through the whole height of the tank, because it may not reach the bottom of the tank.
5.3.4.2 Calculation mode Parameter: P47: a, where a: 0,1. Default value: Menu path: CALCULATION / V/M CALC. MODE Description: Calculation of the volume and mass can be performed with two ways: TANK FUNCTION/SHAPE – volume and mass calculation with a tank shape •...
5.3.4.6 Volume and Mass Table (VMT) Parameter: Menu path: CALCULATION / V/M CALC. MODE / V/M TABLE Description: View/Edit table • Add item • Delete item • If none of the formulas match perfectly to the characteristics of the needed tank, there is a possibility to use table V/M CALC.
5.3.5. Service functions 5.3.5.1 Security codes User codes Menu path: SERVICE / SECURITY / USER LOCK Description: Setting or unlocking the user security code. The instrument can be protected against unauthorized programming with a 4-digit PIN (Personal Identification Number) code. If either of the digits differs from 0 the code is active.
5.3.5.3 Distance simulation This function facilitates the user to be able to check the calculations (tank formula, table), outputs, and the additional processing instruments connected to the output. NIVOTRACK transmitters can perform simulation on the value of a constant or a variable. To start simulation the instrument must return to Measurement mode.
5.3.5.4 Load default values Menu path: SERVICE / DEFAULTS / LOAD DEFAULT Description: This command loads all default values of the instrument. After loading the default values the parameters can freely be changed, the effect of the changes does not affect the measurement until the user exits programming mode and returns to measurement mode.
