This optional output is an interface for communication with up to four LevelCom 101

Repeater devices. These devices provide a full remote readout for a LevelCom 100. This

communication interface is separate from the RS-422/485 interface, and does not affect the

function of that device. For that setup see page 45.

This example will assume that there are two LevelCom 101 Repeaters set up with addresses

50 and 51 respectively.

Note: The Network Address programmed into the LevelCom 100 cannot be the same as

either of these two Repeater ID numbers. Make sure of this before you complete this

configuration. The Network Address is found under the UTILITIES menu.

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 the DOWN key until unit displays DIGITAL COMMUNICATION.

5. Press ENTER. The unit will display ID1.

6. Press ENTER. The unit will display 49.

7. Press the UP or DOWN keys to scroll to the ID number of the first Repeater, 50 in this

case.

8. Press ENTER. SAVING will appear briefly on the display and the display will shift to ID 1.

9. Press DOWN until the machine displays ID 2.

10. Press ENTER. The unit will display 49.

11. Press the UP or DOWN keys to scroll to the ID number of the first Repeater, 51 in this

case.

12. Press ENTER. SAVING will appear briefly on the display and the display will shift to ID 2.

Note: It is necessary to check the remaining ID numbers and set them to 255. If the unused

ID numbers are not set to 255 the performance of the communication interface is severely

reduced, as the machine attempts to communicate with devices that are not present. Setting

an ID number to 255 disables that communication channel.

13. Press DOWN until the machine displays ID 3.

14. Press ENTER. The unit will display 49.
