3.4 Programming the gauge
The 973 SmartRadar LT is pre-programmed at the factory. Depending on the application, a number of
additional parameters have to be set.
Note:
The items described in this section are typical for the basic 973 SmartRadar LT.
For the optional functions / boards such as: level alarm relay output, verification pin compensation, spot
temperature measurement, average temperature measurement, analog level output and HIMS
(Hybrid Inventory Management System) please refer to the applicable option manuals.
Step 1:
Collect the required data (such as radar position height, maximum safe fill height,
alarm settings, etc.) on a piece of paper. Refer to 'Commissioning form 973
SmartRadar LT' supplied with each gauge.
Step 2:
Proceed with programming / checking of each item for the standard gauge
without optional functions (level start-up, zones / thresholds and alarm setting).
Step 3:
Check the identification code on the label of the 973 SmartRadar LT to determine
whether the gauge is equipped with one or more optional functions, and program
the items for these options.
