Setting the switching delay
!
Note!
• The switching delay causes the device to signal the level limit after a delay.
This is particularly useful in tanks with turbulent medium surfaces caused, for example, by the
filling process or by collapsing mounds.
By doing so, you ensure that the filling of the tank does not end until the probe is continuously
covered by the medium.
• A switching delay that is too short may, for example, cause the filling process to be restarted as
soon as the medium surface settles.
"
Caution!
If too long of a switching delay is set, this can cause the tank to overflow.
To set the switching delay, proceed as follows:
1.
Turn the function switch to position 5.
2.
Press the "+" key for at least two seconds to select the next higher value. Hold the "+" or "–"
keys down to skip from one value to another.
The possible values are signaled by the LEDs 1 to 4.
3.
Set the desired value.
You have now set the switching delay and can turn the function switch back to position 1
(operation).
