Simulating the level
Even if there is no liquid in the container yet, it is possible to select a filling level in the menu in
■
order to test the sensor configuration. When simulating a level value, all outputs on the LFP are set
according to the defined configuration. The function should not be selected until a configuration is
complete.
Configuration
Set parameter to the desired filling level as a % in the SimLev menu
■
Note
■
Simulation of the level refers to the probe length or to the liquid level in tank (probe length +
○
offset) if an offset was configured (please see „5.3 Testing the configuration")
The simulation is only active when there are no error messages. The simulation is automatically
○
deactivated if the supply voltage is interrupted.

5.4 Configuring the probe length
Log in to expert mode (Please see „5.1 Expert Mode")
■
Access the EXPRT-CONFIG-Length menu using the arrow and Set pushbuttons
■
Enter the probe length in the Length menu. Please note the defined probe length in Chapter 9.8
■
"Dimensional drawings"
Note:
■
HiSpd: max. Length = 2,005 mm, response time < 400 ms
○
HiAcc: max. Length = 6,005 mm, response time < 2800 ms
○
5.5 Programming static interference signals
Static interference signals in the tank generated by tubes, beams, couplings, or a cleaning ball can
■
be taught-in. The probe length provides the value for the teach-in depth.
Log in to expert mode (Please see „5.1 Expert Mode")
■
Access the EXPRT-Config-CalRng menu using the arrow and Set pushbuttons.
■
Set the value range between 95 and 6,005 mm
■
The following information applies:
■
The value starts from the LFP process connection
○
The value should cover all interference signals
○
Maximum value = probe length – 100 mm
○
AutCal function must be launched afterwards (see Chapter 2 "Commissioning")
