Calibration of the Nivotester FTC 421
Controls Fig 11shows the calibration controls for the Nivotester FTC 421:
• Hook switch 1 matches the Nivotester to the capacitance of the
vessel. The settings are summarized in Table 3, Page 31.
• The top adjuster is used to set the switching point.
• Hook switch 2 sets the type of delay. Table 4 summarizes the
settings.
• Adjuster 2 sets the delay time.
• The green LED indicates that the unit is operational.
• The red LED indicates that the relay is energised (off) or
de-energised (lit).
* The relay switches immediately (0.5 s) if the level moves in the
opposite direction.
