Quick Reference: SITRANS LC500
Quick Start
We strongly recommend you read the full manual to use your device to its fullest
potential. However, if it is possible to adjust the level of the tank to the 0% and 100%
levels, you can use the quick start sequence below to calibrate the instrument and get
started.
Notes:
•
Change over from Menu LEVEL 0 to Menu LEVEL 1 is only possible at position 0,
from menu item 00 to 10 or vice-versa. (See page 42 for detailed instructions.)
•
For a table showing all the combinations of rotary switch positions and button
presses used to carry out different functions, see next page.
•
For a detailed description of each menu item, see
Appendix A: Menu Groups

page 55.
Quick Start Sequence
1 Calibrate the 0% setting (LRV - lower range value): menu 0E
For instruments without a stilling well, the 0% setting needs to be calibrated after the
device is installed, and with the tank/vessel empty. Calibration is also sometimes neces-
sary after installing a SITRANS LC500 fitted with a stilling well, although in most cases
the 0% setting is calibrated at the factory.
Set value for 0% (LRV): units must be pF (Menu 01 must read Pv = 0).
a
Bring the product level to the height that corresponds to 0%.
b
Turn the rotary switch to E (Empty).
c
Press both buttons and hold for about 1 second: the 0% point is now set.
2 Calibrate the 100% setting (URV - upper range value): menu 0F
Set value for 0% (LRV): units must be pF (Menu 01 must read Pv = 0).
a
Raise the product level to the height that corresponds to 100%.
b
Turn the rotary switch to F (Full).
c
Press both buttons and hold for about 1 second: the 100% point is now set.
3 View primary variable (PV): menu 00
Turn the rotary switch to 0. The LCD displays the actual pF reading.
4 SITRANS LC500 is now ready to operate.
