Basic Programming

100 Liquid Level Computer is shipped with a default configuration loaded into permanent

memory. For efficient use of the instrument this configuration must be changed to reflect the

tank being monitored. To place a LevelCom 100 in service only those features which are

going to be used need be set up.

The minimum requirements for accurate operation in a fresh water tank are Depth Units,

Maximum Depth and Bubbler to Bottom. Fluids other than fresh water also require the

Specific Gravity of the fluid to be entered. If the tank is used for storage of more than one

type of liquid, TMS recommends the Automatic Specific Gravity option be considered.

To avoid confusion and unnecessary programming steps the LevelCom 100 has been

designed to confine the program display to only those parameters which have been activated

and the options which have been installed. This means that during the programming process

you may notice areas in the Configuration Flow Chart (In the back of this manual) that are not

displayed in the program. For example, if the optional relay outputs are not installed, then

the LevelCom 100 will not display RELAY 1 or RELAY 2. In these instances, the instrument

will skip to the next programming step.

The Configuration Flow Chart reflects all of the parameters and options available with the

LevelCom 100. If you wish to access a parameter or option, which is not presently available

to you, please call TMS for assistance.

Turn to page 65 and read the explanation of how to gather the information you will need for

programming of the LevelCom 100. When the worksheet on page 70 has been completed,

proceed with programming the instrument.

Important Note about Programming

The LevelCom 100 is designed to be “User Friendly”. We encourage you to enter into the

program, browse through the configuration “tree” and become familiar with data entry, the

program flow and the general operation of the unit.

Do not be concerned about changing any values while learning. After exploring the

LevelCom 100 configuration interface all feature selections and parameters you have entered

can be easily erased and the unit returned to the factory set default settings. To reset the

LevelCom 100 to the default condition please follow the steps found on page 36 in Erase All

Memory/Reset Factory Defaults. If at any time you encounter difficulties in programming,

please contact TMS for assistance.
