Programming the 3102 and 3105 using HART
F.3.8 Lower blanking (P063)
This defines a zone above the Transmitter Bottom Reference ( page 136 ) where echoes are to be
ignored. This zone eliminates echoes from false targets at the tank bottom e.g. pumps
uncovered as the liquid level decreases. See
Figure F-1 on page 137 for this zone in a tank
geometry illustration.
Note
The pulses transmission stops if the sum of the Upper Blanking ( page 174 ) and
Lower Blanking is greater than the Transmitter Bottom Reference ( page 136 ).
