Installation (continued)
The NIVOPRESS NT-100 transmitter is to be screwed in a stub
on the tank wall and fixed with a SW 55 open-end wrench. The
position of the stub has to be chosen so that the ceramic surface
of the transmitter should not be imposed to dynamic impact such
as jet of liquid, in-rushing medium.
The housing of the screwed in transmitter is to be positioned with
the gland looking down. The instrument is designed to allow a
turn round of 340°.
WIRING
Put the cable through the gland and connect wires in accordance
with the marking at the screw terminal. (Fig.3).
Connect the safety ground to one of the grounding screw
terminals either inside or outside of the housing.
After connecting the cables, make sure the cable gland is fixed
for tightness.

PROGRAMMING
Calibration
All devices are factory calibrated either:
•to the nominal range of the model (in this case the 4/20 mA
values of the current output are calibrated to the nominal
pressure values, see “Order codes”) or
•to the customer specified span (in this case the 4/20 mA
values of the current output are calibrated to the minimum
and maximum pressure values, specified by the customer’s
order)
Regardless of the factory calibration, the range/span can easily
be modified on site as well.
Zero adjustment
The ZERO point can be shifted up to +20% of the range.
1. Fill the tank up to the level (pressure) you wish to assign to 4
mA.
2. Set Switch 2 (see Fig.3) to the “ZERO” position.
3. Press both “SET+” and “SET-“ push buttons simultaneously
and the 4 mA value is stored.
4. Reset Switch 2 (see Fig.3) to the “ON” position to end the
calibration.
Span adjustment
The SPAN can be compressed to ¼ of the nominal range.
1. Fill the tank up to the (pressure) level you wish to assign to
20 mA.
2. Set Switch 2 (see Fig.3) to the “SPAN” position.
3. Press both “SET+” and “SET-“ push buttons simultaneously
and the 20 mA value is stored.
4. Reset Switch 2 (see Fig.3) to the “ON” position to end the
calibration.
Display scaling
Scaling of the display should be done after zero and span
adjustment and start with both switches (1 and 2) in position
“ON”, then set Switch 1 to the “DISP” position
Decimal point setting
Push button “SET+” to adjust desired position of the decimal
point on the display.
ZERO Display
1. Fill the tank up to the level you wish to assign to 4 mA.
2. Set Switch 2 to the “ZERO” position.
3. Adjust value on the display by pushing the buttons “SET+”
and “SET-“.
The value set by this adjustment will appear on the display
whenever the output signal 4 mA is. Reset Switch 2 to “ON”
position.
SPAN Display
1. Fill the tank up to the level you wish to assign to 20 mA.
2. Set Switch 2 to the “SPAN” position.
3. Adjust value on the display by pushing the buttons “SET+”
and “SET-“.
The value set by this adjustment will appear on the display
whenever the output signal 20 mA is. Reset Switch 2 to “ON”
position.
End scaling of display by setting Switch 1 to “ON” position.
Damping time
The damping time can be set between 0 and 10 sec.
1. Set Switch 1 (see Fig.3) to the “tD(s)” position. This will reset
the damping time to 0 sec.
2. Increase the damping time by pressing the “SET+” push-
button. One press, corresponds to 1 sec increase. (i.e. press
the “SET+” push-button 6 times for a damping time of 6 sec).
3. Reset the Switch 1 (see Fig.3) to the “ON” position to end
programming the damping time.
Warning LED
The ZERO point can be shifted up to +20% of the range. In case
of calibration attempt over this value, the warning LED will light.
The same way this LED will light, if the SPAN (upper level) will be
calibrated under the 25% value of the nominal range i.e. the
attempted turn down exceeds 1:4.
Should the warning LED light, both switches have to be put in
position “ON” and the adjustment should be repeated.
MAINTENANCE
The instrument does not require regular maintenance. In some
instances, however, the sensor probe may need occasional
cleaning to remove surface deposits. This must be carried out
gently, without harming the sensor probe.
