AUTOMATION & PROCESS TECHNOLOGIES 

® 

Before programming the Zero or Span, the program 

input must be connected to the Power Supply 

Common for a minimum of 2 seconds and no more 

than 6 seconds, then released for 1 second.  The 

LTD programming sequence is now unlocked and 

will remain an unlocked unit until either the Zero or 

Span is programmed or the 10 second programming 

sequence times out.  During the unlock mode either 

the Zero or Span can be programmed by momentarily 

connecting the Program Input to either the Power 

Supply Common or Power .  

NOTE:

 The LDT must be unlocked to program the 

Zero and unlocked again to program the Span.  Once 

either the Zero or Span is programmed the LDT will go 

back into the locked mode.

To program the Zero or Span, the program input must 

be connected to the Power Supply Common for 4 

seconds, then released for 1 second. Within the next 5 

seconds, you can program either the Zero or the Span 

by momentarily connecting the Program Input to either 

the Power Supply Common or Power VDC. 

WARNING: During normal operation, 

electrically insulate the White 

Program wire to prevent accidental 

setting of Span.

Manual Setting of Zero & Span

To set the Zero and Span position, follow these steps:

1. Apply power to the LDT.

2. Place magnet assembly where Zero is to be 

located, but within the active region of the probe.

3. Short the Program Input pin to the Power Supply 

Common for 4 seconds. Remove the short for 1 

second. Within 5 seconds, short the Programming 

Input pin to the Power Supply Common. This 

completes the Zero programming process.

4. Place magnet assembly where Span is to be 

located, but within the active region of the probe.

5. Short the Program Input pin to the Power Supply 

Common for 4 seconds. Remove the short for 1 

second. Within 5 seconds, short the Programming 

Input pin to the Power VDC.

      This completes the programming process.

3.3: Features

Automatic Gain Control

The Automatic Gain Control feature will automatically 

search and find the magnet on power up, if power is 

applied without a magnet on the LDT, the LED will turn 

RED indicating no magnet signal is detected. Turn 

power off and place magnet within the active stroke 

area. Re-apply power.

Diagnostic LED

LED Color Description

None

No power to LDT

Green

Magnet signal detected and within programmed 

range.

Yellow

Magnet signal detected, but magnet is outside of 

programmed range. 

NOTE

: Magnet can be programmed in this range 

if desired.

Red

No magnet signal detected. Make sure magnet 

is on the rod and within the active area. Move 

magnet back into the range and cycle power.

3.4: Setting Zero & Span Position 

The units come fully programmed from the factory and 

do not require re-programming unless desired. The 

units are 100% absolute and will not lose programmed 

parameters on power loss. The Zero and Span points 

can be programmed in any order and anywhere within 

the LDT's active sensor area.

NOTE 1:

 Zero or Span can be adjusted individually 

without setting the other. 

NOTE 2:

 Zero = 0V on 0-10 VDC units and 4mA  

on 4-20mA units.

There is a timing sequence that is used to unlock the 

probe for programming. This is to insure that the Span 

cannot be accidentally re-programmed by someone in 

the field.
