After the startup screen, the LCD should show a screen similar to:
LEVEL
10.00 in
13.88 %
NOTE: The shown values are for example only.
The 2nd line shows the vessel capacity in engineering units. One of 8 engineering units may be
selected in the configuration menu as described in the next sub-section.
The 3rd line shows the vessel capacity in percent. This value is independent of the engineering units.
The 4th line displays a bar graph of the percent capacity. The resolution is 5%.
The Status Indicator (see figure 3.0) should be green. If this is red then the LCD displays the kind of
System Error. See the troubleshooting guide for details.
3.4 MINIMUM SETUP
3.4.1 XMTR VALUES
Press the SETUP key, then 1 for PMC 2000, then 2 for Manual. This menu enters the PMC-
2000 level transmitter module’s calibration parameters. These parameters are printed on a
label attached to the PMC-2000 transmitter connector. These values should also be noted
down in the SETTINGS table located at the end of this manual. On pressing 2 for Manual:
** PMC 2000 SETUP **
Enter xmtr A value:
0.03316
Enter the PMC-2000 module A value then press Enter. The unit will prompt for the K and C
values. Enter these followed by pressing the Enter key in each case.
3.4.2 DATA FILTER (SMOOTHING)
Press the SETUP KEY if not already in the Setup menu), then press 3 for Settings, then 1 for
Filter.
******SETTINGS******
Enter filter time
in seconds:
0.0
Enter the data response time in seconds for the unit to respond to a sudden change followed
by the Enter key. For example a 5 second setting means the calculated value of the vessel
capacitance and resulting values of level in % and engineering units will take 5 seconds to
respond to an actual sudden change in vessel level.
3.4.3 ENGINEERING UNITS
One of 8 units may be selected. These units do NOT cause any change in internal calculations, but
are only used for clarity. For example, if the vessel is cylindrical with a vertical axis then the volume
is proportional to the depth. In this case, volume (or mass) units may be selected such as Liters or
gallons. However, switching between liters to gallons does NOT change the displayed value:
Press the SETUP KEY if not already in the Setup menu), then press 3 for Settings, then 2 for
