Login, Switching User Level
Assigning passwords prevents unauthorized changes to controller settings. Password
protection is not enabled as a factory setting. The sensor works on the
User
level. After
the controller has been configured, you should enable password protection. The stan-
dard password for the User level is “000”.
i
A software update will not change the standard password or a custom password.
The user level password is setup-independent, and is not loaded or stored during
setup.
User can do the following:

Enter the standard password
“000” or a custom password into
the
Password
box, and click

All passwords are case-sensitive. Numbers are al-
lowed, but special characters are not permitted.

User /

Defines the
user
level that is enabled when the sensor
starts the next time. MICRO-EPSILON recommend to
select Professional level.

When an professional restores the factory settings (Settings menu > Tools > Fac-
tory Settings), the Professional level password is reset to “000”.

Detection Threshold
The detection threshold (in %, relates to the signal after dark correction) defines the mini-
mum intensity for including a video signal peak in the measurement. Therefore, the video
graph must be taken into consideration when defining the threshold.
Peak detection threshold
Value
Value in %, factory setting: 1%
Defining the peak detection threshold
-
For very weak signals (e.g. typical for extremely high measuring rates), choose a low
detection threshold, as only signal parts above this threshold will be included in mea-
surements.
-
For thickness measurements, you may increase the detection threshold, if video signal
peaks merge. In general, set the threshold high enough to avoid that any interfering
video signal peaks are detected.
The detection threshold affects linearity, it is therefore recommended to adjust it as little
as possible.
