ecause
th
e 3DLevelScanner M is primarily a distance measuring device
,
the distance
from the sensor to the product surface is measured
.
I
n order to have the actual product
level displayed
,
an allocation of the measured distance to the height percentage must
be carried out
.
T
o make this adjustment
,
the full and empty distances in the vessel are
entered
.
The seal surface of the thread or
fl
ange
is always
the reference point for these
distance values
.
T
he actual level is then calculated on the basis of the entered values
.
A
t the same time
,
the operating range of the sensor is limited from maximum range to
the required range
.
T
he actual product level during this adjustment is not important
,
because the min
./
max
.
adjustments are always performed without changing the product level
.
T
hese settings
can be made in advance without having to install the device first
.
The individual submenu items
i
n the main menu item "
Basic adjustment
" should be
selected one by one and updated with the correct parameter values
.
