Functional overview
• The unit can be installed in tanks of different sizes. Mounting ele-
ments may also be placed in the active measurement zone. Please
adhere to the mounting instructions (→ page 29).
• The sensitivity and the mode of detection of the unit can be set in
order to adjust to different media. This allows the reliable detection
of media with a very low dielectric constant (e.g. oil).
• The automatic adjustment serves for easy and secure set-up. By
means of the adjustment operation (→ page 35) the unit can be
adjusted to the tank being monitored.
Please note:
The adjustment operation is compulsory to ensure the reliable oper-
ation of the level sensor! Without adjustment,
the unit will not change into the operating mode!
• The unit features an integrated, independent overflow
protection. The response level is adjustable: A measuring segment
of the probe is defined via the user menu (measuring segment
OP, OP = overflow protection). Notes on the function of the over-
flow protection → page 34, parameter OP.
The selected measuring segment is at the same time used for
adjustment. Therefore, please adhere to the required minimum
distances of this segment to the tank wall, tank cover and moun-
ting adapter (→ page 29).
• The unit displays the current level and signals that a set limit level
has been reached or that the level is below the limit value via two
switching outputs (OUT1, OUT2). The set point and reset point and
the switching functions of the outputs can be set via the user
menu.
• The zone between tank bottom and lower edge of the measuring
probe can be entered as offset value (OFS). Thus display and switch
points refer to the real level.
• Wave movements of the medium are smoothed.
