Before programming the Zero or Span, the program 
input must be connected to the Power Supply 
Common for a minimum of 2 seconds and no more 
than 6 seconds, then released for 1 second. The 
LTD programming sequence is now unlocked and 
will remain an unlocked unit until either the Zero or 
Span is programmed or the 10 second programming 
sequence times out. During the unlock mode either 
the Zero or Span can be programmed by momentarily 
connecting the Program Input to either the Power 
Supply Common or Power Supply +. 
NOTE: The LDT must be unlocked to program the 
Zero and unlocked again to program the Span. Once 
either the Zero or Span is programmed the LDT will go 
back into the locked mode.
To program the Zero or Span, the program input must 
be connected to the Power Supply Common for 4 
seconds, then released for 1 second. Within the next 5 
seconds, you can program either the Zero or the Span 
by momentarily connecting the Program Input to either 
the Power Supply Common or Power Supply +VDC. 
WARNING: During normal operation, 
electrically insulate the White 
Program wire to prevent accidental 
setting of Span.
Manual Setting of Zero & Span
To set the Zero and Span position, follow these steps:
1. Apply power to the LDT.
2. Place magnet assembly where Zero is to be 
located, but within the active region of the probe.
3. Short the Program Input pin to the Power Supply 
Common for 4 seconds. Remove the short for 1 
second. Within 5 seconds, short the Programming 
Input pin to the Power Supply Common. This 
completes the Zero programming process.
4. Place magnet assembly where Span is to be 
located, but within the active region of the probe.
5. Short the Program Input pin to the Power Supply 
Common for 4 seconds. Remove the short for 1 
second. Within 5 seconds, short the Programming 
Input pin to the Power Supply +VDC.
 This completes the programming process.

3.3: Features
Automatic Gain Control
The Automatic Gain Control feature will automatically 
search and nd the magnet on power up, if power is 
applied without a magnet on the LDT, the LED will turn 
RED indicating no magnet signal is detected. Turn 
power off and place magnet within the active stroke 
area. Re-apply power.
Diagnostic LED
LED Color Description
None No power to LDT
Green Magnet signal detected and within programmed 
range.
Yellow Magnet signal detected, but magnet is outside of 
programmed range. 
NOTE: Magnet can be programmed in this range 
if desired.
Red No magnet signal detected. Make sure magnet 
is on the rod and within the active area. Move 
magnet back into the range and cycle power.

3.4: Setting Zero & Span Position 
The units come fully programmed from the factory and 
do not require re-programming unless desired. The 
units are 100% absolute and will not lose programmed 
parameters on power loss. The Zero and Span points 
can be programmed in any order and anywhere within 
the LDT's active sensor area.
NOTE 1: Zero or Span can be adjusted individually 
without setting the other. 
NOTE 2: Zero = 0V on 0-10 VDC units and 4mA 
on 4-20mA units.
There is a timing sequence that is used to unlock the 
probe for programming. This is to insure that the Span 
cannot be accidentally re-programmed by someone in 
the eld.
