Digital Level Sensor
HHC-1000 Hand-Held Communicator
User’s Guide
Description:
The HHC-1000 Hand-Held Communicator is used for field service and configuration of the Siemens Digital Level
Sensor. It is powered by four (4) “AA” type Batteries and generates 12V 70mA power for a single sensor or
external power, and can be used for communicating with multiple sensors. A picture of the HHC-1000 is shown in
Figure 1. Pin connections are shown in Figure 2.
Commands:
After turning the unit ON, the Main Menu will appear. The following commands may then be used to configure the
level sensing system. The screens shown apply to Software Version 1.05
