Activating SITRANS LR 460
Notes:
•Keep infrared devices such as laptops, cell phones, and PDAs, away from SITRANS LR 460 to prevent inadvertent operation.
•Frequently switching the device off and on causes wear of the electronics (see 2.3. Statistics on page 49 to access the records).
Power up the instrument. SITRANS LR 460 automatically starts up in RUN mode, and detects the distance to the material level referenced from the sensor flange face. The LCD displays the measurement and the default unit is meters. System status is displayed on the LCD, or on a remote communications terminal.
