change barrier type, or 

•

 

remove something from the loop, or 

•

 

increase supply voltage 

Reading erratic 

echo confidence weak 

•

 

refer to P805 

•

 

use P837/P838 

•

liquid surface vortexed 

•

 

decrease measurement response P003 

•

 

relocate instrument to side pipe 

•

 

increase confidence threshold P804 

material filling 

re-locate SITRANS Probe LR 

Reading response

increase measurement response if possible 

Reads correctly but 

occasionally reads 

high when vessel is 

not full

build up near top of vessel 

or nozzle 

•

 

wrong antenna choice for 

application 

•

 

vessel nozzle problem 

•

 

clean the antenna 

•

decrease blanking P800: min. 0.3 m (1 

ft) plus the shield length (if any) 

•

 

raise SITRANS Probe LR 

•

 

decrease range extension 

•

 

ensure P820 is set to 12 (First echo) 

nozzle too narrow for length 

shielded antenna required: discuss with your 

Siemens representative.
