7.1.6.12 Master reset
Factory Defaults
Factory Defaults resets all parameters to the default settings with the following exceptions:
Device Address (5.1.) remains unchanged if the reset command is sent remotely (via AMS,
PDM, DTM, FC375) but is reset to 0 if the reset command is sent via LUI.
Write Protect (6.2.1.) and PIN to Unlock (6.2.2.)
Learned TVT curve, see Auto False Echo Suppression (2.8.7.1)
1. Open the menu Device – Master Reset, select Yes, and click on OK to perform a reset to
Factory Defaults.
2. After the reset is complete upload parameters to the PC/PG. (If you are performing a reset
after replacing the device with a different instrument, do not upload parameters to the PC/
PG).
7.1.6.13 Wear
Reports the number of hours the device has been operating, and the number of times it has
been powered up.
Open the menu Device – Wear to view:
Powered Days
Power-on Resets
Note
Powered days are whole days only. Fractional days are truncated.
7.1.6.14 HART Communication
Sets the number of request/response preambles (default 5).
The preamble consists of three or more hexadecimal FF characters (all 1s). This allows the
receiving modem to get its frequency-detection circuits synchronized to the signal after any
pause in transmission.
We recommend you do not change the default value (5).
7.1.6.15 Process variables
To compare outputs in real time open the menu View – Process Variables and click
on Overview to see reading (level, space, distance, volume); analog output; device status; and
current electronics temperature.
To see highest and lowest electronics temperatures, navigate to Level Meter > Maintenance
and Diagnostics > Electronics Temperature.
