4. Setting up the controller

4.1 Setting up the controller

The controller is supplied set up as follows:

-

230V mains supply.

-

Capacitance probe input (voltage).

-

Reducing output with increasing input.

-

4 - 20mA output.

-

Wave filter position 1 (minimum damping).

4.2 To change the mains supply voltage:
-

Unplug the controller from its base.

-

Remove the rear cover panel.

-

Slide out the printed circuit board.

-

Slide the voltage selector switch to the 115  V setting.

-

Replace the printed circuit board.

-

Ensure that the LEDs engage with the holes in the front panel.

-

Replace the rear cover panel.

4.3 To change the function settings:
-

Unplug the controller from its base.

-

Remove the rear cover panel.

-

Slide out the printed circuit board.

-

An 8-way switch on the printed circuit board determines the controller functions.

-

Set the switches to the positions shown in Figure 3 for the chosen functions.

-

Replace the printed circuit board.

-

Ensure that the LEDs engage with the holes in the front panel.

-

Replace the rear cover panel.

Note that Switches 4 and 5

 are not used.

4.4 Current / voltage input - Switches 1 and 2

The controller is supplied set for use with a capacitance probe, (voltage input), with Switches 1
and 2 OFF.
If a current input is required, for use with a 4 - 20  mA transmitter for example, set Switches 1 and
2 to ON.

4.5 Reverse acting output - Switch 3

The controller is supplied set so that a rising level at the probe will give a falling output from the
controller, with Switch 3 OFF.
If a rising controller output is required with a rising input, as when using a differential pressure
transmitter for level monitoring, set Switch 3 to ON.

4.6 4 - 20 mA / 0 - 20 mA - Switch 6

The controller is supplied set for 4 - 20  mA output, with Switch 6 OFF.
Set this Switch to ON for 0 - 20  mA output.
