• Empty adjustment
After fixing the unit to the tank, this adjustment is carried out to suppress the
environment� No medium to be detected must be in the detection range� If
only an empty teach is carried out, the sensor operates independently of the
medium�
• Full adjustment
A full adjustment is carried out with the detection range being completely
covered� The sensor is adjusted to the medium to be detected� Changing the
medium without carrying out a new adjustment can have a detrimental effect on
the performance of the sensor in the application�
• Dynamic adjustment
If no full adjustment or empty adjustment can be carried out, a dynamic
adjustment can be carried out� The level of the medium to be detected must
be within the detection range and there must be a distance of at least 4 sensor
elements between the level and the upper limit of the detection range
5�1, Fig� 1� In case of the dynamic adjustment, the sensor is adjusted to the
medium, similar to the full adjustment� This means that changing the medium
without carrying out a new adjustment can have a detrimental effect on the
performance of the sensor in the application�
Only use the dynamic adjustment as sole adjustment if there is no other
possibility�
If an empty adjustment has been carried out, no additional dynamic
adjustment will be accepted�
The application adjustments can be combined� Sorted by operational reliability, the
following combinations are possible:

Application example
1
(highest)
Empty adjustment and
full adjustment
For complex applications (e�g� draining liquid
films).
2
Only empty adjustment
• When the medium in the tank is changed�
• In case of a significantly fluctuating
dielectric constant�
3
Only full adjustment
• If no empty adjustment is possible
• If the medium is not changed�
4
(lowest)
Only dynamic adjustment
Only if no empty adjustment or full
adjustment is possible�
