58-610 Model R82 Radar Transmitter
Select if
Level
or
Level & Volume
Select the
Units
of measure for the
display (cm, inches, meters, feet).
Enter the
Sensor Offset
value; the
distance from the top of the vessel to
the Sensor Reference point (bottom
of an NPT thread, top of a BSP
thread, face of a flange).
Select the type of
Tank Top
; choices
are Flat, Horizontal cylinder, Dome,
Irregular, or Other (nonmetallic).
Enter the exact
Tank Height
; inaccu-
rate values will create inaccurate
level readings.
Enter the
Blocking Distance
; the
distance close to the antenna where
measurement is unreliable. Minimum
value = 15" (375 mm)???? as meas-
ured from the process connection.
Enter the
Level Offset
; the distance
at the bottom of the vessel where
measurement may be unreliable due
to heating coils, irregular bottom, etc.
Select the proper
Dielectric
range for
the process medium.
Select the value of
Turbulence
that
corresponds to the application.
Select the
Foam
value that corre-
sponds to the application.
Select the
Rate of Change
value that
corresponds to the maximum rate the
level will rise or fall.
Examine the list of reflections detect-
ed by the transmitter to ensure the
actual level reflection is present. It
may be necessary to rotate the
launcher for optimal performance.
Run the
Echo Rejection
routine by
choosing the correct LEVEL thereby
cancelling all false reflections in the
vessel; ideally with tank empty.
Enter the minimum level value (0%)
for the 4 mA point.
Enter the maximum level (100%) for
the 20 mA point.
