Start-up & Operation

The VRF-1000R Remote model will automatically begin operation when 
powered up.  It should be initially powered after it is installed in the application
and with material below the probe.  When initially powered up, the VRF-1000R
Remote model will automatically begin a 3 second calibration operation.  If the
unit is powered on the bench prior to installation, or moved from one installation
to another, recalibration is required.  Momentarily press the recalibration 
pushbutton.  The green calibration indication LED will go off, and after 3 seconds
illuminate to indicate calibration is complete.  The VRF-1000R Remote model is
shipped from the manufacturer with the automatic calibration/recalibration 
feature enabled.  If only manual pushbutton calibration/recalibration is desired,
set SW1 DIP switch position 6 to off.
