Start-up
Capacitive measurement requires adjustment of the instrument based on the application
conditions. Two types of adjustment methods are available:
•
push-button
•
HART™
Push-Button Adjustment
If it is possible to adjust the level of the tank as required to the 0% and 100%, the MST9500
transmitter can be set very easily using the push-button.
1.
Set value for 0%:
a.
Bring the level of the product to the value that corresponds with 0%.
b.
Turn the rotary switch to position 1.
c.
Press the push-button, hold for approximately 2 seconds.
2.
Set value for 100%:
a.
Bring the level of the product to be measured to the level which corresponds with
100%
b.
Turn the rotary switch to position 2.
c.
Press the push-button, hold for approximately 2 seconds.
3.
The MST9500 transmitter is now set.
a.
Turn the rotary switch back to position 4. Position 4 prevents the alteration of
settings if the push-button is pressed accidentally.
Note
:
If the difference in the capacitance value between the 4 mA point and the 20
mA point is smaller than the minimum span value (3.3 pF), the new value will not be
accepted.
During normal operation, the 4 and/or 20 mA point can be set at any time.
