LFP Cubic
5 Advanced functions
5.1 Expert mode
Expert mode must first be set to activate special functions.
Logging into expert mode
○ Access the PASSW menu using the arrow pushbuttons
○ Enter password 000537 (LFP on mobile device keypad / L=5 / F=3 / P=7). If an incorrect
password is entered or the device is switched off, expert mode is locked again.
5.2 Filtering measured values
Activating filtering
Smoothing of the measured value; e.g., in the case of ripples on level surfaces For fast level chang-
■
es, the average of the measured values over X seconds is indicated.
Set the parameter in the Filter menu
■
The possible values are Off, 400 ms, 600 ms, 1,000 ms, 1,400 ms, 2 s, 5 s, 10 s
■
Maximum change of level (plausibility check)
For applications that cause the level to jump on the LFP due to strong interference. Entry for the
■
maximum level dynamic in the application or the maximum permissible change rate of the level.
Log into expert mode (see Chapter 5.1 "Expert mode")
■
Reduce the parameter in the EXPRT-CONFIG-MaxCol menu
■
AnySpd (50 cm/s) (default), 10 cm/s, 5 cm/s, 2 cm/s
■
Note:
■
For MeasMd = HiSpd, any max. change rate is possible
○
For MeasMd = HiAcc, max. is 10 cm/s
○
5.3 Testing the configuration
Testing outputs
Switching/analog outputs can be simulated. This allows for the wiring and signal values on the
■
connected systems, such as the PLC control, relay, or lamps, to be checked.
Configuration
Activate the Qx switching output
■
Set the parameter in the QxMENU-SimQx menu to QxOn
○
Further options
○
QxOff = switching output off
▫
QxNorm = switching output in measuring operation
▫
QxOn = switching output is active
▫
Note: The simulation is automatically deactivated if the supply voltage is interrupted.
