Calibration without a PC
Calibration
You can also calibrate the e-Lift, without a computer either using the CLA-VAL magnetic screwdriver or a low power
magnet without affecting the signal position sensor.
1- Close the valve.
2- Put the magnet on the top of the e-Lift (see photo below).
3- When the LED is blinking green, open the valve fully (100%).
4- Remove the magnet.
5- The LED will blink red five times, then wait until the LED is green before operating the valve.
6- Calibration is complete.
Alarm setting with “Low Level” activation below setpoint and “High Level” activation above setpoint.
1- Wire dry contact 1 to 0 V.
2- Place the valve at the low level alarm (low level).
3- Put the magnet on the top of the e-Lift.
4- When the LED is blinking red, place the valve at the high level alarm (high level).
5- Remove the magnet.
6- Remove the wire between dry contact 1 and 0 V.
7- The alarms are adjusted.
Alarm setting with “Low Level” activation above setpoint and “High Level” activation below setpoint.
1- Wire dry contact 1 and dry contact 2 to the 0 V.
2- Place the valve at the low level alarm (low level).
3- Put the magnet on the top of the e-Lift.
4- When the LED is blinking red, place the valve at the high level alarm (high level).
5- Remove the magnet.
6- Remove the wire between dry contact 1, dry contact 2 and 0 V.
7- The alarms are adjusted.

Troubleshooting
Problem:
1. The software is not working:
a. Do you have full access rights?
2. No PC Connection:
a. Check if the USB driver is working?
b. Check if you have power supply?
c. Disconnect the cable and then connect it again.
3. X117E missing:
a. Check if the USB driver is working?
b. Check if you have power supply?
c. Disconnect the cable and then connect it again.
4. If the 4-20 mA output is not stable:
a. Check the earth grounding, wire the O V to a good
earth?
Some Tips
1. The X117E LED remains red for 5 seconds after
power is on, and then switches to green. (Start-up test).
2. The X117E LED remains green when the magnet is in
the sensor zone.
a. If the X117E LED is off, the magnet is out of
the sensor zone.
b. If the X117E LED is green, the magnet is in the 1st
magnet sensor zone.
c. If the X117E LED is red, the magnet is in the 2nd
magnet sensor zone.
