If for rope probes the DC value is less than 7, then measurement is not possible in the
area of the straining weight. In these cases, the maximum recommended value for the
empty calibration E is
LN
- 250 mm (
LN
- 10 in).
1. Setup → Device tag
Enter tag for measuring point.
2. Navigate to: Setup → Distance unit
Select distance unit.
3. Navigate to: Setup → Bin type
Select bin type.
4. Navigate to: Setup → Empty calibration
Enter the distance E between the reference point R and the minimum level (0%).
5. Navigate to: Setup → Full calibration
Enter distance F between the minimum (0%) and maximum (100%) level.
6. Navigate to: Setup → Level
Displays the measured level L.
7. Navigate to: Setup → Distance
Displays the distance D between the reference point R and the level L.
8. Navigate to: Setup → Signal quality
Displays the signal quality of the level echo.
9. For operation via local display:
Navigate to: Setup → Mapping → Confirm distance
Compare the displayed distance to the real distance in order to start the
recording of the mapping curve if required.
