2 This danger may notbe readily apparent when disassembling the sensor or removing the displacer. Before disassembling the sensor orremoving the displacer, observe the appropriate warnings provided in the sensor instruction with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against section contains Digital Level Controller installation information, including an installation flowchart (figure 1),mounting and electrical installation information, and a discussion of failure mode not install, operate, or maintain a DLC3010 Digital Level Controller without being fully trained and qualified in valve,actuator, and accessory installation, operation, and maintenance. To avoid personal injury or property damage, it isimportant to carefully read, understand, and follow all of the contents of this manual, including all safety cautions andwarnings.

4 It may be useful to configure the instrument on thebench before installation to ensure proper operation, and to familiarize yourself with its the Coupling and FlexuresCAUTIOND amage to flexures and other parts can cause measurement errors. Observe the following steps before moving the sensorand LockThe lever lock is built in to the coupling access handle. When the handle is open, it positions the lever in the neutraltravel position for coupling. In some cases, this function is used to protect the lever assembly from violent motionduring DLC3010 Controller will have one of the following mechanical configurations when received:1. A fully assembled and coupled caged displacer system is shipped with the displacer or driver rod blocked within theoperating range by mechanical means. In this case, the access handle (figure 2) will be in the unlocked the displacer blocking hardware before calibration. (See the appropriate sensor instruction manual).
