1 Notes on use
Youhave various options for accessing the descriptions of instrument functions or how
to enter parameters.
1.1 Using the table of contents to locate a function description
All the functions are listed in the table of contents sorted by function group (e. g.
"basic setup", "safety settings", etc.). Youcan access a more detailed description of a
function by using a page reference/link.
The table of contents is on page 3.
1.2 Using the graphic of the function menu to locate a function
description
This guides youstep by step from the highest level, the function groups, to the exact
function description yourequire.
All the available function groups and instrument functions are listed in the table
(page 11). Select your required function group or function. Youcan access an exact
description of the function group or function by using a page reference/link.
1.3 Using the index of the function menu to locate a function
description
To simply navigation within the function menu, each function has a position which is
shown in the display. Youcan access each function via a page reference/link in the
function menuindex (page 75) which lists all the function names alphabetically and
numerically.

1.4 General structure of the operating menu
The operating menuis made up of two levels:
•Function groups (00, 01, … , 0C, 0D):
The individual operating Selection of the instrument are split up roughly into different
function groups. The function groups that are available include, e. g.:
"basic setup", "safety settings", "output", "display", etc.
•Functions (001, 002, 003, …, 0D8, 0D9):
Each function group consists of one or more functions. The functions perform the
actual operation or parameterisation of the instrument. Numerical values can be
entered here and parameters can be selected and saved. The available functions
of the "basic setup" (00) function group include, e. g.: "tank shape" (002),
"medium property" (003), "process cond." (004), "empty calibr." (005), etc.
If, for example, the application of the instrument is to be changed, carry out the following
procedure:
• Select the "basic setup" (00) function group.
• Select the "tank properties" (002) (where the existing tank properties is selected).
1.4.1 Identifying the functions
For simple orientation within the function menus, for each function a position is shown
on the display.
The first two digits identify the function group:
The third digit numbers the individual functions within the function group:
Here after the position is always given in brackets (e. g. "tank properties" (002)) after
the described function.
• basic setup 00
• safety settings 01
•linearisation 04
...
• basic setup 00 →• tank properties. 002
• medium property 003
• process cond. 004

1.5 Display and operating elements
Four lines with 20 characters each. Display contrast adjustable through key
combination.
The LTC-Z02 LCD display can be removed to ease operation by simply pressing the
snap-fit (see graphic above). It is connected to the device by means of a 500 mm cable.

1.5.2 Display symbols
The following table describes the symbols that appear on the liquid crystal display:
1.5.3 Key assignment
The operating elements are located inside the housing and are accessible for operation
by opening the lid of the housing.
Function of the keys
Symbol Meaning
ALARM_SYMBOL
This alarm symbol appears when the instrument is in an alarm state. If the symbol flashes, this
indicates a warning.
LOCK_SYMBOL
This lock symbol appears when the instrument is locked, i. e. if no input is possible.
COM_SYMBOL
This communication symbol appears when a data transmission via e. g. HART or PROFIBUS
PA is in progress.
Key(s) Meaning
Oor VNavigate upwards in the selection list
Edit numeric value within a function
Sor WNavigate downwards in the selection list
Edit numeric value within a function
Xor ZNavigate to the left within a function group
FNavigate to the right within a function group, confirmation.

Hardware lock/unlock
After a hardware lock, an operation of the instrument via display or
communication is not possible!
The hardware can only be unlocked via the display. An unlock parameter must
be entered to do so.

1.5.4 Operation with the LTC-Z02
1. Change from measured value display to Group selection by pressing F.
2. Press Sor Oto select the required Function group (e. g. "basic setup" (00)) and
confirm by pressing F→first function (e. g. "tank shape" (002)) is selected.
The active selection is marked by a in front of the menutext.
3. Activate Edit mode with Oor S.
Selection menus
a) Select the required Parameter in selected function (e. g. "tank shape" (002))
