4 Getting started

For fast set-up, the example configurations described in the following can be used

for most applications. The indicated minimum distances apply exclusively to each

separately described case.

4.1 Example configuration 1

Unit

LK8122 (probe length L= 264 mm)

Medium to be detected

Mineral oil

Operating mode

Manual media selection with overflow prevention

(Factory setting)

→ 5.2.1

Installation environment Metal tank, installation to Fig. 4-1

►

Install unit.

►

Observe the distances (x), (u) and (c):

min. 4.0 cm

min. 1.0 cm

max. 14.0 cm

Fig. 4-1

►

Ground sensor and tank via an electrical

connection

(→ 7)

►

Observe the parameter setting sequence:

-[MEdI] = [OIL.2]

(→ 10.2.3)

-[OFS] = (u); e. g. (u) = 2.0 cm

(→ 5.2.4)

-[OP]: Set the overflow prevention OP at a

distance (y) greater than 4.5 cm below the

mounting element.

For distances (y) smaller than 4.5 cm there

may be malfunctioning and error messages

during the adjustment process [cOP].

Step increment and setting range:

(→ 12.1)

Calculation aids for [OP]:

(→ 12.3)

►

Adjustment of the overflow prevention OP to [cOP]

(→ 10.2.5)

The unit is ready for operation.

►

Make further settings if necessary.

►

Check whether the unit operates correctly.
