Step Ten

I. Programming REV mA (Optional): 

 In factory default, 

t

he 

transmitter operates with 4 mA at the maximum range (MaxR), and 

20 mA at the dead band (MinR). Using the menu item REV mA, you 

can change the unit to reverse this to 20 mA at the furthest distance 

(MaxR) and 4 mA at the closest distance (MinR). 

NOTE: You must set HEIGHT and FULL R prior to reversing the 
4 and 20 mA.  Regardless of which mode you are in (Norm or 
Rev), changes to the HEIGHT or FULL R are always with 
respect to the original settings programmed.

NOTE: Any changes to the HEIGHT will effect the FULL R 
value.  The FULL R will stay at the same physical level in the 
tank.  An increase to the HEIGHT value will result in an equal 
increase to the FULL R value.  A decrease to the HEIGHT value 
will result in an equal decrease to the FULL R value.

G. Programming HEIGHT:  

To change HEIGHT 4 mA value.

1.  Press the SELECT/FAST button and hold it for 5 seconds until 

PROG appears.

2.  When TANK appears, press the SELECT/FAST button. The dis-

play will rotate between HEIGHT, FILL H and REV mA.

3.  When HEIGHT appears, press the SELECT/FAST button. The 

display will show a decimal reading in the selected UNITS. 

4.  Press the UP/DOWN buttons to increase or decrease this value to the 

distance from the transducer face to the bottom of the tank.  NOTE: 
Simultaneously holding down the SELECT/FAST button while press-
ing the UP or DOWN button will increase the speed of the display. 

5.  When you have reached the desired value, press SELECT/FAST 

to SAVE.

H. Programming FILL H:

 To change FILL H 20 mA value.

1.  Press the SELECT/FAST button and hold it for 5 seconds until 

PROG appears.

2.  When TANK appears, press the SELECT/FAST button. The dis-

play will rotate between HEIGHT, FILL H and REV mA.

3.  When FULL H appears, press the SELECT/FAST button. The 

display will show a decimal reading in the selected UNITS. 

4.  Press the UP/DOWN buttons to increase or decrease this value to 

the distance from the bottom of the vessel to the full point (typi-
cally the straight wall height). 

5.  When you have reached the desired value, press SELECT/FAST 

to SAVE it.

You have successfully programmed the FILL H or 20mA value.

NOTE: You can increase the speed at which the display changes 
by pressing the SELECT/FAST button while simultaneously hold-
ing down the UP or DOWN button.
