Step Thirteen

J. Programming SAFE Mode: 

 To change SAFE mode. 

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

PROG appears.

2.  When SAFE appears, press the SELECT/FAST button. 

3.  The display will now rotate through 22mA, 21mA, 20mA, 4mA 

and HOLD. When you reach the desired setting, press the 
SELECT/FAST button to SAVE it..

You have successfully programmed the SAFE mode.

K. Programming Target Calibration (Optional): 

The 

transmitter’s 4 mA and 20 mA set points can be target calibrated ON 
the tank by raising and lowering the liquid level, or OFF the tank 
using the distance to a flat reflective target such as a wall. Generally, 
target calibration is done ON the tank. To do so, follow the EMPTY 
and FULL tank programming steps on the next page.

NOTE: A transmitter installed on a tank operating in the factory 
default RUN mode will display the distance from the bottom of 
the sensor to the liquid surface. The value will decrease as the 
tank is filled or increase as the tank is emptied. Make sure that 
you do not overflow the tank or completely empty the tank while 
moving the liquid level to the desired high or low set point dis-
tance for target calibration.

TG CAL:

 Allows the user to use an unknown distance for setting 

of the 4 mA and 20 mA span. 

FULL:

 Target calibration technique that allows the user to enter 

the present distance from the 
transducer face to the liquid or a 
reflective target as the 20 mA 
(FULL) set point

EMPTY:

 Target calibration 

technique that allows the user to 
enter the present distance from 
the transducer face to the liquid 
or a reflective target as the 4 mA 
(EMPTY) set point. 

Step Twelve

L. Programming TG CAL EMPTY Tank:  

With the tank 

EMPTY or the liquid in a low level state, apply power to the transmit-
ter. Begin programming after WARMUP. 

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

PROG appears.

2.  When TG CAL appears, press the SELECT/FAST button. The 

display will rotate between FULL and EMPTY. 

3.  When EMPTY appears, press the SELECT/FAST button. WAIT 

will be displayed followed by SAVED. 

You have successfully programmed the EMPTY or 4 mA value.

M. Programming TG CAL FULL Tank:

 With the tank FULL, 

or the liquid in a high level state, apply power to the transmitter. 
Begin programming after WARMUP.

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

PROG appears.

2.  When TGCAL appears, press the SELECT/FAST button. The 

display will rotate between FULL and EMPTY.

3.  When FULL appears, press the SELECT/FAST button, WAIT will 

be displayed followed by SAVED. 

You have successfully programmed the FULL or 20 mA value.
