6.4 Setup procedure

After connecting LEVEL TRANSMITTER 8185 to power supply
or after a voltage recurrence, the instruments carries out a self-
check for approx. 30 seconds:
Internal check of the electronics
l
Indication of the instrument type, the firmware as well as
l
the sensor TAGs (sensor designation)
Output signal jumps briefly (approx. 10 seconds) to the set
l
fault current
Then the corresponding current is outputted to the cable (the
value corresponds to the actual level as well as the settings
already carried out, e.g. factory setting).
In HART-Multidrop mode (several sensors on one input) the
address must be set before continuing with the parameter
adjustment. You will find a detailed description in the operating
instructions manual "Indicating and adjustment module" or in
the online help of PACTware™ or DTM.

As LEVEL TRANSMITTER 8185 is a distance measuring
instrument, the distance from the sensor to the product surface
is measured. To have the real product level displayed, an
allocation of the measured distance to the percentage height
must be made. To carry out this adjustment, the distance is
entered with full and empty vessel. If these values are not
known, an adjustment with the distance values, e.g. 10 % and
90 % is also possible. Starting point for these distance
specifications is always the seal surface of the thread or
flange. With these settings, the real level is calculated.
Furthermore the operating range of the sensor is limited from
maximum to the required range.
The real product level during this adjustment is not important,
because the min./max. adjustment is always carried out
without changing the product level. These settings can be
made ahead of time without the instrument having to be
installed.
In the main menu item "Basic adjustment", the individual
submenu items should be selected one after the other and
provided with the correct parameter values.
