CALIBRATION (ROTARY KNOB)
INITIAL CALIBRATION
1. After installation with power supply, make sure no material within 300 mm around the probe.
2. Turn the "SENSITIVITY" to the "H" position (Figure 2).
3. Using flat-head screwdriver to turn "Coarse" clockwisely for adjustment until LED indicator is on.
4. Turn the knob clockwise from H position to 90% position about 1/2 circle (95% position) until LED
indicator shut off (Figure 3). Then, Initial calibration is complete. After that, please continue to next
step "SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT".

SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT
1. Make sure the "Indicator" sign does not light up, when the medium does not contact with the probe,
and vice versa, when the medium contacts or covers the probe, then the "Indicator" sign lights up.
2. Gradually, adjust the capacitance value (turn the knob clockwise to the "L" direction) until "Indicator"
light turns off.
3. Record the turning angle from "Indicator" sign lights up status to turn off status, then reset "SENSI
TIVITY ADJ" by turning the knob counterclockwise back for half of the recorded turning angle.
4. Based on the previous experience, 70% (Figure 4) adjustment position can be used to most of
mediums (Need to do INITIAL CALIBRATION first).
