When programming or changing the configuration of the Coaxial probe, the only values needed to be changed should be the
Lower Range Value and the Upper Range
Value, switch settings and response time.
See programming steps 2 & 3 for setting these
values.
Please remember to tighten the housing cover
properly by turning it clockwise.
Things to Avoid:
Avoid reversing the sequence when setting the DIP switches to the ON/1 position or when switching them back to OFF/0
position. The DIP switches should always be turned on from the 8th position first to the least position last. Alternately, when
setting the DIP switches to the off position, they should always be turned off from the least position first and the 8th position last.
Avoid cycling power while performing the programming steps. If power is interrupted in mid-programming mode, with power
off return all DIP switches to the OFF/0 position and apply power. Then, start process from the beginning of the step that was
interrupted.
Avoid lifting the DIP switch levers with pliers. Using a small flat instrument screwdriver or flat object will decrease the chances
of lifting the lever off of the switch foundation.
Probe Length, Dead Band and Measuring Range
Probe Length:
The upper or top reference point for definition of the probe length (L) is always the sealing surface of the connection thread.
The probe length is an important mechanical dimension which is needed to make sure the probe physically fits into the tank at
the anticipated mounting location. The probe can touch the bottom of the tank, but it is not necessary. The actual measuring
range (M) of the Tracer 1000 is not the probe length (L). The measuring range of the Tracer 1000 is the total probe length less
the upper dead band (D1). The dead band is a small inactive area at the top (D1) of the probe. These are due to the presence
of unavoidable signal disturbances at the top of the probe. In the top dead band the measurements are non-linear or have
reduced accuracy. Therefore, it is not practical to actually measure level within those inactive or dead band area. The length
of the dead band depends on the probe type and the ∑r (dielectric) strength of the material being measured.
Restore Defaults
Set the following DIP switches to the ON/1 position. 8 - 5 - 4 All other switches should be in the off position. The LED will
blink alternately green and red. Press the push button. The LED will remain green for a few seconds while the reset to factory
configuration is being performed.
Once the configuration
is completed
successfully, the LED will return to blinking alternately green and red. If this is the only function you want to perform, set all of
the DIP switches to the OFF/0 position. Once the DIP switches are set to the off position, the LED will change to blinking green
indicating the transmitter is in the RUN or Operating mode.
