2. The instrument has a built-in
sensor oscillator which will be
used if the level sensor is
connected to the BNC connector
on the rear panel of the
instrument with a maximum of
6 foot of RG59/U coaxial cable
(refer to Figure 1-1 on page 2).
Ensure the “NITROGEN
OSCILLATOR:” field displays
“INTERNAL”.
3. If the sensor is greater than 15 feet from the instrument, an
external oscillator/transmitter will have to be used and the
“NITROGEN OSCILLATOR:” will display “EXTERNAL” (refer to
Figure 1-2 on page 3).

The Model 1700 Instrument has two types of alarms, level-based and time-
based alarms.

The Model 1700 Instrument has two user-configurable level alarms. Each
alarm can be triggered by either level measurement (for dual level config-
ured instruments). Each alarm can be configured to be active above or
below a user-defined setpoint.
