Start Up

Start-up: SITRANS LC 500

Capacitance measurement systems require the instrument to be calibrated for a particular application. Two methods of calibration are available:

push-button (for instructions, see page 43).

HART (for instructions, see page 46).

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 page 41.

For a detailed description of each menu item, see Appendix A, page 54.

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 LC 500 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).

aBring the product level to the height that corresponds to 0%.

bTurn the rotary switch to E (Empty).

cPress 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).

aRaise the product level to the height that corresponds to 100%.

bTurn the rotary switch to F (Full).

cPress 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 The SITRANS LC 500 is now ready to operate.
