In this menu item you can enter the measuring range (min. and max.
process value) of the sensor.
These settings influence the current output of the sensor.
Enter in the menu window "
Max. process value
" the max. level (full),
for example in "
m
". This corresponds to an output current of 20 mA.
Enter in the menu window "
Min. process value
" the min. level (empty),
for example in "
m
". This corresponds to an output current of 4 mA.
In this menu item you can carry out the adjustment of the sensor.
Caution:
During the first setup or after an instrument reset, the linearisation
stands at the preset value pair (90000 ct/s
≙
0 % and 0 ct/s
≙
0 %).
These values are not suitable for your application and must be re
-
placed by real values. Delete this value pair in the following procedure
and carry out the linearisation.
Due to the measuring principle itself, there is no linear relationship
between pulse rate and level. Hence, this adjustment (i.e. linearisa
-
tion) must in any case be carried out.
If you have a non-linear vessel (e.g. spherical tank), you have to carry
out this adjustment with as many points as possible.
Note:
If you cannot fill the vessel with the original medium, it is also possible
to carry out the adjustment with water.
Prerequisites:
Radiation is switched on - Source container is set to "ON"
The vessel is either completely filled (100 %) or completely emptied
(0 %).
Depending on whether the vessel is full or empty, you can first carry
out the full or the empty adjustment. The FIBERTRAC 31 sorts the
points automatically according to their level.
