Setup Procedure
Gladiator Conductivity Switch Series
Remote Version
1. Mount the unit in its actual position.
(See mounting procedure - page 6-7)
• Make sure that external ground wire is connected
between the outside ground screw on the Gladiator
housing and the roof/wall/side of the silo/tank/
vessel/chute (for non metallic tanks make sure that
external ground wire is connected between the
same outside ground screw on the housing and the
general plant ground potential.).
2. Check where the actual level is relative to
the probe.
• Make sure that product is not touching the probe
- ideally it needs to be > 500mm away (if the silo/
vessel/tank/chute is very small you must ensure that
the material is as far away as possible - it must not
be touching the probe).
3. Turn the power on
• The display will turn on and the failsafe relay will
switch.
• The display will scroll through the following
messages: Hawk, Amp SerialNo, Type, Amp Soft
Ver, Device ID, SensorSerial, SensorModel, Sens
SoftVer, Sensor Addrs, Gladiator System Amp.
• The unit will then go into operational mode
displaying ‘Switch’ with a % value. This % value
represents the changing admittance reading.

Select the Switch point (sensitivity)
The output relay will switch at the entered % value. The default value of 50% will be suitable
for detecting most media. For detection of products having low conductivity, select a lower %
value and vice versa. A higher % value will require a more conductive product. When the level
falls the relay will switch back at half of the entered switch point % value (when the liquid no
longer touches the probe).
Select the Time Delay
Set the time to be used for both switch on and switch off delays (default: 0.1 seconds).
Maximum Delay is 40 seconds.
Cancel Influence of Mounting
Do not proceed with this step unless the product is not touching the probe or probes.
Select ‘Yes’ to start the mounting calibration. ‘Wait’ will be displayed during the calibration for
up to 30 seconds.
Unit is now able to cancel the influence of the mounting. The % reading has been zeroed with
the existing process conditions and probe history log has been cleared.
Select the required relay action
The Relay can switch ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’ as the product approaches the probe and switch ‘ON’
or ‘OFF’ in response to an instrument failure. For details see page 10. Set the parameter to
FailSafe Low or FailSafe Hi depending on your requirements.
