Factory Defaults 
When first installing the blackbox, or subsequently moving or using the unit 
on a new application, before proceeding to program the unit for its intended 
application it is recommended that you ensure that all parameters are at their 
default values by completing a Factory Defaults P930, as described in 
Chapter 5 Parameter Guide. 
 
 
When you first switch the blackbox on it will provide an output proportional 
to the distance from the face of the transducer to the surface. All relays are 
set OFF. 
The date (P931) and time (P932) in the blackbox were set at the factory, but 
may  need  checking,  and  amending  if,  for  example  the  application  is  in  a 
time zone other than GMT, see Chapter 5 Parameter Guide for full details.  
 TIP 
In some applications it is simplest to empty the 
vessel, take a reading from the blackbox for 
distance and then setup the empty level to this 
figure. 
Once  you  are  satisfied  with  the  installation,  and  the  blackbox  is  reading 
what you would expect in terms of distance from the face of the transducer 
to  the  material  level,  then  you  can  proceed  with  programming,  for  the 
intended application. It is sensible to program all of the required parameters 
at the same time. The system will be then set-up.  
Note that the span  is  automatically calculated from  the empty  level, so  the 
empty level should be entered first.
