Application Examples
These examples are not absolute - sensor setup configuration varies depending on ambient
conditions, target integrity, distance, constraints, and user requirements.
Liquid Measurement
To measure the material depth in the tank or vessel (the top of a liquid):
•
The sensor must be able to penetrate air-born fog or mist inside the vessel.
Choose Last Target for this.
•
Set the unit to begin measuring upon power up - enable AutoStart. AutoStart
will allow sensor to automatically re-start after a power re-start. See $MA
command.
•
Each type of liquid surface conditions may react differently, and the user will
need to adjust the settings for optimum performance. See $OS command.
•
Measuring liquid in an agitated state might achieve more accurate results if a
stilling well or a by-pass pipe is used, as shown below.
