I/O 2 – sets the range for probe 2 – currently this function is unused.
Stability – sets the sensitivity of the probe, used to compensate for false changes in level reading caused by
incorrect probe location or turbulence during filling.
Exit – returns to the Setup Menu.
Output Setup (Menu>Setup>Outputs)
This menu allows you to select one of 4 outputs to configure. Once selected 2 screens will be shown, the
first allowing the output to be set to either fill of drain the tank, use either probe and any combination of 5
switched inputs. The second screen will allow the setting of the minimum and maximum levels in the tank
which it will maintain.
Main Functions
The options on the first screen are as follows
Button 1 will select either Off, Fill, or Drain. A solenoid filling a storage tank for example would be set as a
Fill device, wheras a drainage pump would be a Drain device.
Button 2 Selects which probe, and hence which tank the output will be operating with. This does not mean
the device has to be in that tank but usually this will be the case. A transfer pump in tank 1 pumping to
tank 2 could be set as either a Drain type device operating on probe 1, or a Fill type device operating on
probe 2, whichever is most appropriate.
Button 3 selects one or more of 5 switched inputs which must be closed in order for the output to operate.
This condition is in addition to the trigger levels being reached.
Button 4 takes you to the virtual input selection screen.
Virtual Input Selection
, where in addition to the input switches sleected previously you can also select either or both of the 2
virtual inputs (these are triggered by the virtual outputs). Button 1 selects these inputs and button 4 moves
on to the next screen to set the operating levels for this output.
Levels
In this screen buttons 1 and 2 adjust the level up and down, and button 3 selects adjustment of either the
minimum or maximum level. The minimum and maximum levels cannot be set closer than 3cm from each
other, nor can they overlap. If you try to set the minimum level as high as the maximum, the maximum will
increase itself. If you try to set the maximum level down to the minimum level it will stop 3cm above that
level. Button 4 then proceeds to the Duty Cycle selection screen.
Duty Cycle
Here you are able to select the duty cycle for the output you are configuring. Each output can operate from
1 to 100% duty cycle (default setting is 100%) operating in 10 minute periods. So a duty cycle of 30% would
result in the output, when activated, running for 3 minutes then pausing for 7 minutes every 10 minutes.
