5. PROGRAMMING
Since NIVOCAP is not measuring level directly, the basic element of the programming is measurement (learning) at two different levels during which the instrument is
learning conditions of the actual application (shape of the tank, medium to be measured, etc.). To reach accuracy given in the table of the Technical Data these two
levels should be possibly near to both end of the (rod or cable) probes (See Operation and Programming of NIVOCAP on page 4)
Learning will be represented (with Programming Without Display Module 5.1 and with QUICKSET) by the adjustment of 4 and 20 mA better to say assignment of 0%
and 100% to these two output values respectively. In units without display module level will be proportional to the output current while QUICKSET programming will
make possible display in % only.
If level, level in percentage, volume or volume percentage should be measured (a0 in P01) and measured values should be displayed in engineering units of the
length e.g., mand volume e.g., m3two data pair of the linearization table (0% and relevant minimum level in e.g., in m as well as 100% and the relevant
maximum level should be entered. Linearization should be disabled. (See P47 and P48 on page 30).
Not only the minimum (0%) and maximum (100%) level of the actual application can be assigned (directly) to the 4 and 20 mA output.
If for some reasons of the technology the tank cannot be filled to the maximum or emptied to the minimum level the 4 and the 20 mA can indirectly also be assigned
to the minimum (0 %) and maximum (100 %) with the help of two intermediate levels (say to 15% and to 80%).
Obviously - for the sake of accuracy – it is advised to fill/empty the tank to the maximum/minimum level and perform “direct” assignment as soon as possible.
The unit can also be programmed for inverse operation (4 mA = full and 20 mA = empty).
Programming without display module (See 5.1)
The transmitter is fully operable without display module. Basic parameters such as assignment of 4 and 20 mA to the minimum and maximum level, fault
indication by the output current and damping can be programmed
Programming with SAP–202 display module (See 5.2)
QUICKSET – 4 parameters can be programmed (See 5.2.4). Programming of the basic parameters will be aided by images on the display. Measured
values can only be displayed in percentage.
Full parameter programming (See 5.2.5.). All parameters and programming features of the unit can be accessed such as (measurement configuration,
outputs, measurement optimalisation, 11 pre-programmed tank shapes for volume calculation, 32-point linearization.
Measured values can be displayed in engineering units
The unit will measure during programming in accordance with the previous parameters. The new, modified parameters will only be effective after returning to the
Measurement Mode
If the transmitter is left in Programming Mode by mistake, it will automatically return to Measurement Mode after 30 minutes and will operate with the parameters
entered during the last programming completed.
FACTORY DEFAULT
Current output and bargraph is proportional to the (capacitance) level percentage. 4 mA and 0% is assigned to the 0-capacitance percentage (low level). 20 mA and
100% is assigned to 100% capacitance (high level). Current output of the fault indication is 22 mA. Damping: 10 sec.
Note: the 4 and 20 mA assignment is an absolute necessity of the programming.
