1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Principal description of the LEVELMETER 2000
The LEVELMETER 2000 was designed by WYLER AG, Switzerland as an intelligent display and measuring unit
in connection with the digitized sensor family ZEROTRONIC. It is also used as a display device for the electronic
inclinometers MINILEVEL and LEVELTRONIC "NT". Besides the excellent measuring performance the specialty
of the ZEROTRONIC as well as the "NT" family instruments is the use of the digital technology. This allows
transmitting the measuring signals over long distances without any loss of accuracy.
With the LEVELMETER 2000 all the sensors and instruments of the ZEROTRONIC and the "NT" family
instruments may be used. (See point 1.3. Possible configurations (instruments and sensors connections)
The LEVELMETER 2000 is a
- Display unit
- Interface between Measuring instrument and PC
- Control unit for calibrating (ZEROTRONIC sensors only) and identifying/addressing the
connected sensors and instruments
On the LEVELMETER 2000 the following parameters may be set or changed:
- Measuring unit
- Sensor address/port
- Type of damping filter
- Base length relative and many more
The LEVELMETER 2000 is fully interchangeable with the other ZEROTRONIC components. This means that the
LEVELMETER can be exchanged if necessary by any other family type instrument. All the relevant data, such as
- Calibration data
- Sensor address
- ZERO point etc.
are stored at the respective sensor heads. Through the RS 232 port the measuring data may be transmitted to a
PC/Laptop or to an other outlet as well as to the Measuring software LEVELSOFT of WYLER’s.
The measuring principle of the ZEROTRONIC family is based on a changing of the capacity of a condenser built
of two electrodes and a pendulum in form of a shield installed in between. The measured change of capacity is
directly influenced by the change of the inclination of the pendulum. This capacity change is the primarily used
signal for the angle to be measured. The measuring system is designed to be completely antimagnetic. The basic
signal received in the LEVELMETER 2000 will be computed into an angle by comparing the signal with a
reference curve stored and then displayed in the required unit.
1.2. Starting
Before working with the LEVELMETER 2000 it is strongly recommended to carefully read this manual
first.
This will avoid malfunctioning by making unsuitable manipulations like e.g. deleting the calibration date in the
sensor heads etc.
