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
Installation environment: Metal tank, installation to Fig. 4-1
►
Install unit.
►
Observe the distances (x), (u) and (c):
x:
min. 4.0 cm
u:
min. 1.0 cm
c:
max. 14.0 cm

►
Ground sensor and tank via an electrical
connection
►
Observe the parameter setting sequence:
-[MEdI] = [OIL.2]
-[OFS] = (u); e.g. (u) = 2.0 cm
-[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:
Calculation aids for [OP]:
►
Adjust overflow prevention OP to [cOP]
.
>
The unit is ready for operation.
►
Make further settings if necessary.
►
Check whether the unit operates correctly.
