Parameter Defaults 
 
When you first switch the Zenith 140 on, it will be reading the distance from 
the face of the transducer to the surface. It will be indicating in metres, as 
shown on the display. All relays are set OFF. 
The date (P931) and time (P932) in the Zenith 140 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 parameter listing for full details.  
In some applications, it is easier to empty the vessel, take a reading from the 
Zenith 140 for distance and then setup the empty level to this figure. 
 
Once you are satisfied with the installation, and Zenith 140 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 the required parameters at the same 
time. The system will be then set-up.  
 
Note:  The span is automatically calculated from the empty level, so the 
empty level should be entered first. 
   
Factory Defaults 
When first installing the Zenith, 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  Default  P930,  as  described  in  the  relevant  unit  type 
parameter guide.
