If the overflow prevention is deactivated [OP] = [OFF] or [MedI] = [Auto], the 

reliable function of the sensor must be verified with particular care. Switch-

on and switch-off processes and special operating states such as very full 

tanks, possible maintenance and cleaning operations are to be considered 

in the verification.

For the setting [OP] = [OFF], the menu item [cOP] is not available.

10.2.5  Adjust overflow prevention [cOP]

Only adjust the overflow prevention OP when the unit is installed.
If possible, carry out the adjustment when the tank is empty.

The tank may be partly filled.

 

Make sure that the overflow prevention OP is 

not

 covered by the 

medium. Observe the minimum distance between the overflow 

prevention OP and the level (→ Table 10-1).

 

Select [cOP].

 

Press [SET] and keep it pressed.

 

> [cOP] flashes for some seconds; then the continuous display indicates 

that the adjustment is being made.

 

> If the adjustment is successful, [donE] is displayed.

 

Confirm with [Mode/Enter].

 

> If the adjustment is not successful, [FAIL] is displayed.

 

Possibly lower the level or correct the position of the overflow prevention 

[OP] and repeat the adjustment operation.
