DLC3010 Digital Level Controller

September 2014

Configuration: On the Bench or in the Loop

Configure the digital level controller before or after installation. It may be useful to configure the instrument on the

bench before installation to ensure proper operation, and to familiarize yourself with its functionality.

Protecting the Coupling and Flexures

CAUTION

Damage to flexures and other parts can cause measurement errors. Observe the following steps before moving the sensor

and controller.

Lever Lock

The lever lock is built in to the coupling access handle. When the handle is open, it positions the lever in the neutral

travel position for coupling. In some cases, this function is used to protect the lever assembly from violent motion

during shipment.

A DLC3010 controller will have one of the following mechanical configurations when received:

1. A fully assembled and coupled caged‐displacer system is shipped with the displacer or driver rod blocked within the

operating range by mechanical means. In this case, the access handle (figure 2) will be in the unlocked position.

Remove the displacer‐blocking hardware before calibration. (See the appropriate sensor instruction manual). The

coupling should be intact.
