The mode "TEACHING" will stop automati-

cally after ca. 1000 measurements.

In case of installed mixers, it is 

necessary

 

to position the mixers under the level meter 

(direct the mixer blade to the ultrasonic sig-

nal beam). 

Note:  If  there  are  significant  obstacles  in 

the  upper  half  of  the  tank, 

multiple  false 

reflections

 can occur especially in closed 

tanks. In such cases it is necessary to re-

duce the level in the tank as much se pos-

sible to correctly mask these possible multi-

ple false reflections.

MEDIUM TEMPERATURE

The level meter is equipped with 

automatic temperature compensation

. If in the tank (open chan-

nel) is a big difference between the temperature of the measured medium (liquid) and temperature 

in the place of installation of the ULM (see mode, "DIAGNOSTICS" page 15), it is advised to im-

prove the precision of the measurement by the zone temperature compensation. Otherwise, this 

mode is 

not necessary to run

Inactive compensation (initial state), the 

word "NO" appears on the display.
See the "UNITS" menu for temperature unit 

selection (°C or °F).

After start of the zone temperature compensation mode it is necessary to set the temperature of 

the surface of the medium. The level meter then calculates the average value from the medium 

temperature and the temperature at the installation place of the level meter. With such an average 

temperature it counts in calculating of the velocity of acoustic waves propagation and for determina-

tion of the level position.

If during the scanning of the tank in the bottom of the display ap-

pears the dialog "press OK to stop" (see figure) the level meter 

already found no further obstacles and "TEACHING" mode may be 

terminated. If it is not terminated, the level meter is still ready for the 

possible presence of obstacles (e.g. paddles of the agitator). Once 

it registers a further obstacle, the dialogue disappears and the obstacle is erased. This process may 

be repeated up to 1000 cycles. After this the "TEACHING" mode is automatically stopped.
