Operation Setup Check
After nal adjustment it is advisable to
check the performance of the probe
relative to your entered settings.
Ensure there is no mounting inuence.
When calibrating the mounting of the
unit, there should be no product within
at least 500mm of the probe. After cali-
brating the unit the Sensor Value (%)
should read approximately 0.0% with
no product near or touching the probe.
Allow infeed to occur and note the Sen-
sor Value (%) change (if there is any) -
as the level gets closer to the probe the
Sensor Value (%) number will increase
and continue to increase as the product
gets closer to, touches and covers the
probe.
The Gladiator is capable of switching
repeatably and reliably without product
contacting the probe for a wide variety
of materials. Some very low dielectric
materials may need to touch the probe
to be detected.
The Sensor Value (%) will reach its
maximum after the probe is covered
- but the Switch Point can be set at any
value less then the maximum. It is rec-
ommended to select the set point more
than 10% below the maximum value
seen with material touching the probe.
For instance the following readings may
occur during lling:
Sensor Value (%)
- Before lling 0.0%
- Filling starts 0.7%
- Filling continue 4.9%
- Filling continue 27.5%
- Material approaching probe 48.5%
- Material contacts probe 96.5%
- Material covers probe 285.7%
A. You may choose to leave the Switch
Point at the default 50%. The Gladiator
will switch reliably without contact of
the material to the probe.
B. You may choose to adjust the Switch
Point to 100% to switch when the prod
-
uct contacts the probe.
By default the Switch Off % is set at 1/2
of the Switch Point. You may wish to
adjust this to a higher or lower number.
This is adjustable in the Advanced
Menu by selecting Switch Mode - Man-
ual. You can then manually select your
Switch On and Switch Off values.
In general, you should not choose the
Max Sensor % (Max) value nor the Min
Sensor % (Min) value as the Switch
Point.
If possible, always have the Switch On
% at a value of at least 10% less than
the Max Sensor % (Max) value and
Switch Off at least 10% more than the
Min Sensor % (Min).
If the % change on the display is too
small then the Display Span parameter
in the Advanced menu can expand the
display resolution (select a larger num-
ber - smaller raw range) and vice versa.
Changing the Display Span will change
Switch Point value.
