BASIC CONFIGURATION OVERVIEW
Below are the 7 basic steps to configure the sensor for operation. Each step is described in detail on the
following pages
1) Measure the Tank
a) Begin by measuring the key tank and fitting dimensions. Correct tank dimensions will result in accurate
sensor measurement.
2) Set the Units of Measurement
a) Units can be configured in basic engineering units of length including Feet or Meters.
3) Set the Sensor Height
a) This is the empty setting (4mA) for the tank.
4) Set the Fill-Height
a) This is the full setting (20mA) for the tank.
5) Set the Max. Range (Maximum Range or MaxR)
a) This is the maximum measurement range for the sensor. The sensor will ignore all echo returns
beyond this setting.
6) Set the Dead Band (Minimum Range or MinR)
a) This is the minimum measurement range for the sensor. The sensor will ignore all echo returns closer
than this setting.
7) Check the Echo Curve
a) This is a quick diagnostic tool to determine if the sensor is reading the correct level.
Note: When configuring EchoPro
®
, choose
either the WebCal
®
or Push Button method.
Either method will accomplish the goal of
sensor configuration. Changes to the
configuration can be made using the
alternative method. When beginning with
one method, it is recommended to complete
the configuration before using the other
method to make any adjustments.
