SECTION 2
EASY START FOR MINIFLEX LR
The Miniflex LR system requires programming by the operator to obtain the required
measurements and control. To create a basic working system, only the application type and
parameters 2.0 to 5.0 need be programmed. To become familiar with the use of the system, it
is suggested that the following QUICK START guide is used before the instrument is
installed.
Quick Start Guide
1. Connect power and transducer cables as defined on the instrument.

2. Close the front cover and secure in position before switching on the power.
The instrument is supplied factory set to work in distance measurement
up to 10 metres from the transducer.
3. Hold the transducer approximately 1.5 metres from a flat surface and switch on.
After a short period, the display will show the distance (e.g. 1.50) between the
transducer and the surface.
If the transducer is now moved slowly towards the surface, the reading should
decrease. This shows that the unit is correctly wired and is operating as expected in
response to the reduction in distance.
If the reading increases as the transducer is moved towards the surface, it indicates
that the unit has been previously programmed to read level not distance.
Principle of Programming
The Miniflex LR has two modes:-
a) RUN (Normal operating)
In the 'RUN' mode, the instrument is monitoring the target, displaying values, and setting
outputs as programmed by the operator.
b) Program Mode (Programming)
In the 'Program Mode' the operator uses the keypad in conjunction with the display to adjust
the settings and to test that the unit is programmed correctly.
Keypad Definitions
The keypad consists of 5 keys, which are used to programme the operation of the transceiver. These
keys also have secondary functions enabling the operator to view the results being obtained by the
instrument during its normal 'RUN' cycle.
