When first installing the Sludge Finder 2, 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 the parameter guide.
When you first switch Sludge Finder 2 on, it will be reading the distance from
the face of the transducer to the interface. It will be indicating in metres, as shown
on the display and all relays are set OFF.
The date (P931) and time (P932) in Sludge Finder 2 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 relevant unit Parameter listing for full details.
Once you are satisfied with the installation, and Sludge Finder 2 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 then be fully set-up.
Note that the span is automatically calculated from the tank depth (or empty level
for dB transducers), so the tank depth should be entered first.
