The LevelCom 100 automatically detects any installed optional output devices on power up.

The Outputs menu will reflect this. For instance if no relay module is installed in the

LevelCom 100 the Relays menu item will not appear in the Outputs menu. Because of this

the menus on your machine may not exactly match the menus as shown on the programming

interface map at the end of this manual.

To program alarms the alarm points must first be assigned to output devices, lights, relays, or

horn. After assigning alarms to outputs the alarm setpoints and hysteresis values can be set.

For instance if you have assigned high and low alarms to lights, you will be able to set up the

alarm setpoints for these alarms under the Alarm Setpoints menu. You will not be able to set

up a setpoint for the High High alarm, or the Low Low alarm though. These alarms have not

been assigned to outputs.

Lights

The front panel lights provide a way to locally display fault and alarm status information. If

Latch is selected, the alarm lights will remain active until the user presses the ACK key to

acknowledge the alarm condition, even if the alarm condition has cleared. If Latch is not

selected, then the light will activate only during the alarm event and will automatically clear at

the assigned alarm hysteresis.

1. Enter Program Mode by pressing the MENU key.

2. At SYSTEM press the UP or DOWN keys to scroll to OUTPUTS.

3. Press ENTER. The unit will display LIGHTS.

4. Press ENTER. The unit will display HI HI.

5. Select those alarms you wish to activate the lights by pressing the MENU key. An

asterisk (*) will appear to the right of the display indicating the alarm has been selected.

6. Press ENTER to save the selected alarms. SAVING will appear briefly on the display and

the display will return to LIGHTS indicating the selections have been recorded.

7. Press ESCAPE to return to normal operation.

Horn Output

The LevelCom 100 has an optional front panel horn output. If you have ordered this feature

then the LevelCom 100 will display HORN under the Outputs section of the program (Please

refer to the Configuration Flow Chart). The Horn function allows the user to select which

alarms will activate a front panel mounted audible signal. If Latch is selected, the alarm will

sound until the user presses the ACK key to acknowledge the alarm condition, even if the

alarm condition has cleared. If Latch is not selected, then the horn will sound only during the

alarm event and will automatically clear at the assigned alarm hysteresis.
