Simplified Setup and Calibration... With the electronic
Device Setup, digital level controller startup is
straightforward and fast. Level and temperature
alarms, specific gravity tables, calibration trim, and
trending are readily configurable. DLC3010/DLC3020f
digital level controllers also support re‐ranging
without a fluid reference.
Responsive to Small Process Change... Accurate,
high‐gain analog‐to‐digital conversion enables
measurement of small changes in the process variable.
In addition, an input filter and output damping may be
adjusted by the user to attenuate noise from
mechanical disturbance or liquid turbulence at the
displacer.
Easy Maintenance... Field wiring connections are in a
compartment separated from the electronics. This
helps to protect the electronics from any moisture
brought into the housing by the field wiring. This also
eases installation and maintenance. The digital level
controller does not have to be removed to facilitate
troubleshooting or service. However, if it is necessary
to remove the digital level controller for in‐shop
maintenance and calibration, field wiring does not
need to be disconnected.

DLC3010
Input Signal
Level, Interface or Density: Rotary motion of the torque tube shaft proportional to changes in liquid lever,
interface level, or density that change the buoyancy of the displacer.
Process Temperature: Interface for 2‐ or 3‐wire 100 ohm platinum RTD for sensing process temperature,
or optional user‐entered target temperature to permit compensating for changes in specific gravity
