1INTRODUCTION
This manual is designed to provide all parties concerned with relevant information on installation and operation of the Levikos M18
Controller.
The Levikos M18 Controller is engineered to provide a dedicated Single or Dual (optional) tank level management system to the end
user. It is designed to withstand harsh and diverse environments. The controller incorporates a unique combination of features ensuring
total reliability when it comes to tank level indication, monitoring and control.
The Levikos M18 Controller is ideally suited for applications including but not limited to fire, sewage, effluent, storm, and potable water
tank level monitoring.
The controller uses a versatile 4-20mA level and can be configured to display level and provide alarms at desired level depending on
the end user requirements.

8.3 SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
8.3.1 ALARM TIMER
The alarms can be configured to perform timing functions. The
configuration allows the alarm output to be delayed, or to
deliver a single pulse or a train of pulses. The delay, the pulse
width and the period are defined by the user.
Table 4 shows these advanced functions. Times T1 and T2 can
be programmed from 0 to 6500 seconds. Programming 0
(zero) in the timer parameters T1 and T2 disables the timer
function.
The LEDs associated with the alarm always light up when the
alarm condition occurs, regardless of the current state of the
output relay, which may be de-energized momentarily due to
a time delay.

8.3.2 ALARM INITIAL BLOCKING
The initial blocking option inhibits the alarm from being
recognized if an alarm condition is present when the controller
is first energized. The alarm will be triggered only after the
occurrence of a non-alarm condition followed by a new
occurrence for the alarm.
The initial blocking is disabled for the sensor break alarm
function.
9REMOTE MONITORING
The Levikos M18 has 3 methods of monitoring.
1. Volt free Contacts (Low and High Level)
2. Modbus RTU (Serial RS 485)

The optional serial interface RS485 allows to address up to
247 indicators in a network communicating remotely with a
host computer or master controller.
9.2.1 RS485 INTERFACE
•Compatible line signals with RS485 standard
•2 wire connection from master to up to 31 slaves
indicators in a multi drop bus. It is possible address
247 nodes with multiple outputs converters.
•Maximum communication distance: 1000m
•The RS485 signals are:
D1=D: Bidirectional data line.
D0=D: Bidirectional inverted data line.
C=GND: Optional connection.

9.2.2 GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
•Optically isolated serial interface
•Programmable baud rate: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,
19200, 38400, 57600 or 115200bps.
•Data Bits: 8
•Parity: None or even.
•Stop Bits: 1
9.2.3 COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL
All configurable parameters can be accessed through the
Registers Table 5 below. Broadcast commands are also
supported (address 0).
The available Modbus commands are:
03 - Read Holding Register
05 - Force Single Coil/Digital Output state
06 - Preset Single Register
The registers are arranged in a table in such a way that several
registers can be read in the same request.
9.2.4 CONFIGURATION
Two parameters must be configured in the device for serial
communication:
•: Baud rate. All devices with same baud rate.
•: Device communication address. Each
device must have an exclusive address.
HOLDING REGISTERS
Equivalent to the registers reference 4XXXX.
The holding registers are basically a list of the internal indicator
parameters. All registers above address 12 can be read or be
written to. The registers up to this address are read only. Each
table parameter is a 16 bits two complement signed word.
