Installation setup
It is important that the vapor compensation function is calibrated after installation and after the
basic configuration is complete. The basic configuration includes setup of the unit in a chamber
installation and the use of a remote housing connection. Before calibration, do the following:
The surface level must be at least 19.7 in. (0.5 m) below the end of the reflector
(36 in. (0.9 m) or 39.7 in. (1.0 m) below the flange, depending on reflector/probe
length). Note that it is recommended to empty the pipe/chamber and to ensure that it
is cleared from any steam and/or condensation remains.
Perform the calibration at ambient pressure and temperature conditions, when the
vapor dielectric constant is close to 1.0.
To calibrate DVC, choose one of the following:
RRM > Guided Setup > Device Specific Configuration (if the configuration is recommended)
RRM > Setup > Advanced > Vapor Compensation tab > Click the Calibrate Vapor Compensation
button (Make sure Use Vapor Compensation is selected)
Figure 3-6. Calibrate DVC
After calibration, do the following:
Verify that the reference reflector echo is registered in RRM, at correct length, and that
no error messages are present in the device diagnostics. The echo from the reference
reflector end can be viewed in the echo curve in RRM.
