5.2

 

Calibration 

The calibration of the mA output may be done such that its span will be either proportional or 

inversely proportional to the material level. 

 

 

 

Note 
The 4 and 20 mA levels may be calibrated in any order. 

 

 

 

Proportional span 

Inversely proportional span 

high level = 20 mA 

high level = 4 mA 

low level = 4 mA 

low level = 20 mA 

5.3

 

Calibration: reference method 

1.

 

Adjust the material level (or target) to the desired distance from the sensor face. 

2.

 

Press the “4” or “20” key (as appropriate) to view the stored distance associated with that mA 

output value. 

3.

 

Press the key a second time to set the new distance reference. 

4.

 

After viewing or calibrating, the unit operation automatically reverts to the Run mode (6 sec). 

The calibration value is referenced from the face of SITRANS LU150 sensor, in the units 

displayed.
