7.1 Basic teach empty state
Using the basic teach empty state, the device suppresses the installation environment. The basic
teach empty state resets the device, an adjustment teach already carried out is deleted.
u
Empty the tank until the level is at least 20 mm below the device.
Set the device as normally open (output closes when the tank is full):
u
Press the button [OUT OFF] for 2-6 seconds.
w
While pressing the pushbutton the LED flashes slowly. After releasing the pushbutton, the LED
goes out.
Set the device as normally closed (output opens when the tank is full):
u
Press the button [OUT ON] for 2-6 seconds.
w
While pressing the pushbutton the LED flashes slowly. After releasing the pushbutton, the LED
lights continuously.
The device is now ready for operation.
For the detection of media with a low dielectric constant (e.g. plastic granulates or oils) no further
setting is required.
7.2 Adjustment teach full state
An adjustment teach full state is necessary for aqueous media. The sensitivity of the device is
optimised. The adjustment teach full state can be repeated at any time, a basic teach empty state
already carried out is not affected.
A basic teach empty state must be carried out prior to the adjustment teach full state!
If it is not possible to empty the tank, a basic teach empty state can be carried out by simulating
the empty state (e.g. adjustment when not installed, adjustment at a higher position).
u
For optimum function of the device, carry out a modified basic teach empty state when the
tank is emptied the next time.
u
Fill the tank until the sensing face of the device is covered.
w
For NO the LED lights, for NC it goes out.
Set the device as normally open (output closes when the tank is full):
u
Press the button [OUT ON] for at least 6 seconds.
w
While pressing the pushbutton the LED first flashes slowly, after 6 seconds more quickly. After
releasing the pushbutton, the LED lights continuously.
Set the device as normally closed (output opens when the tank is full):
u
Press the button [OUT OFF] for at least 6 seconds.
w
While pressing the pushbutton the LED first flashes slowly, after 6 seconds more quickly. After
releasing the pushbutton, the LED goes out.
7.3 Modified basic teach empty state
The modified basic teach empty state is recommended in case of deposits in the tank. It allows
deposits to be largely suppressed.
