6.7.6 Application
Use the Application
Application
Application
Application menu to specify how the device monitors the level of the product in the
bypass chamber. The supervisor can give the time constant, maximum tracing velocity and
multiple reflections to identify the correct signal and follow it as level changes.

Default
Time constant
Using this function, the device processes several
measurement readings to filter out disturbances.
Increasing the time constant will smoothen the
integrated readings, decreasing will roughen the
reading.
s = seconds.
min-max:
0.
…
100 s
1 s
Max. tracing
velocity
This value must agree with the maximum rate of
change of the level of the product in the bypass
chamber.
min-max:
0.01
…
10.00 m/min
2.50 m/min
Multiple
reflections
Multiple signal reflections will cause the device to
display smaller level readings. If this function is in
operation, the device looks for the first signal peak at
a distance larger than the minimum distance. This
signal peak is then used to measure the product. If
this function is not in operation, the device looks for
the largest signal at a distance larger than the
minimum distance.
