Mode Sequence
For best results when programming your DCR, follow the steps below.
Following the steps in sequence will eliminate most of the problems
encountered when setting up the DCR controller.
1. MODES 1-2 Determine units to be displayed
2. MODES 4-6 Determine settings to get a reliable distance reading
on your target
3. MODES 7-10 Determine appropriate filtering for your application
4. MODE 3 Select application type *(MODE 2 will need to be
adjusted for volume and flow applications)
1. Distance: skip to step 5
2. Volume: setup Modes 29-35
3. Differential: setup Modes 36-37
4. Open Channel Flow: setup Modes 38-43
5. MODES 12-23 Setup relay outputs (disable relays that are not used in
your application)
6. MODES 24-26 Setup analog output
7. MODE 44 Set temperature compensation
8. Advanced setup *(not required in most applications) MODES 27-28,
45-48
