11 Operation

After power on, the unit is in the Run mode (= normal operating mode)� It carries

out its measurement and evaluation functions and generates output signals

according to the set parameters�

11.1 Operating indicators

Numerical value + LED 1

Current level in cm�

Numerical value + LED 2

Current level in inch�

Numerical value + LED 3

Current level in % of the final value of the measuring range�

LED 7 / LED 8

Switching status of the corresponding output�

[----]

Level below the active zone�

[FULL] + numerical value

alternately

Level has reached or exceeded the maximum measuring

range (= overflow warning)�

[CAL]

Initialisation phase after power on
On delivery the unit is not operational� Basic settings are

required

(→ 10.2).

[Loc]

Unit electronically locked; parameter setting impossible� For

unlocking press the two setting buttons for 10 s�

[uLoc]

Unit is unlocked / parameter setting is possible again�

[S�Loc]

If [S�Loc] is displayed when an attempt is made to modify a

parameter value, either an IO-Link communication is active

(temporary locking) or the sensor is permanently locked via

software� This locking can only be removed via a parameter

setting software�

11.2 Reading the set parameters

►

Press [Mode/Enter] briefly to scroll the parameters�

►

Press [Set] briefly to indicate the corresponding parameter value for about 15 s�

After another 15 s the unit returns to the Run mode�

11.3 Changing the display unit in the Run mode

(= switching between length indication (cm / inch) and percentage)

►

Press [Set] briefly in the Run mode�

> The selected unit is displayed for 15 s, the corresponding LED is lit� With each

push of the button the display type is changed�
