SITRANS LG250 - Operating Instructions

46201-EN-150424

The default setting for the displayed value 2 is the electronics tem-

perature.

The integrated background lighting can be switch off via the adjust

ment menu. The function depends on the height of the supply voltage,

see "

Technical data

The lighting is switched on in delivery status.

In this menu item, the device status is displayed.

The respective min. and max. measured value is saved in the sen-

sor. The two values are displayed in the menu item "

Peak values,

distance

If you have selected interface measurement under the menu item

Setup - Application

", the peak values of the interface measurement

are displayed in addition to the peak values of the level measurement.

In another window you can carry out a reset of the two peak values

separately.

The respective min. and max. measured values are saved in the

sensor. The two values are displayed in the menu item "

Peak values,

measurement certainty

The measurement can be influenced by the process conditions. In

this menu item, the measurement certainty of the level measurement

is displayed as percentage value. The higher the value, the more reli-

able the measurement. Values > 90 % indicate reliable measurement.
If you have selected interface measurement under the menu item
