6 Commissioning
Levelflex M FMP 40 with Foundation Fieldbus
58
EHauser
The basic setup is sufficient for successful commissioning in most applications.
!
Note!
The Levelflex M allows to check for broken probe. On delivery, this function is switched
off, because otherwise shortening of the probe would be mistaken for a broken probe.
If you want to check the probe for a crack select the "
broken probe det
"
(019)
function
in the "
safety settings
"
(01)
function group.
Complex measuring operations necessitate additional functions that the user can use
to customise the Levelflex as necessary to suit his specific requirements. The functions
available to do this are described in detail in the BA 245F.
Comply with the following instructions when configuring the functions in the
"basic setup" (00)
:
•
Select the functions as described on page 32.
•
Certain functions (e.g. starting an interference echo mapping (053)) prompt you to
confirm your data entries. Press
O
or
S
to select "
YES
" and press
F
to confirm. The
function is now started.
•
If you do not press a key during a configurable time period (
→
function group
"display (09)"), an automatic return is made to the home position (measured value
display).
!
Note!
•
The instrument continues to measure while data entry is in progress, i.e. the current
measured values are output via the signal outputs in the normal way.
•
If the envelope curve mode is active on the display, the measured values are updated
in a slower cycle time. Thus, it is advisable to leave the envelope curve mode after the
measuring point has been optimised.
•
If the power supply fails, all preset and parameterised values remain safely stored in
the EEPROM.
"
Caution!
All functions are described in detail, as is the overview of the operating menu itself, in
the manual
“Description of the instrument functions – BA 245F”
, which is a separate
part of this operating manual.
