Fig. 11: Parameter adjustment example min./max. adjustment
1  Min. level = max. measuring distance

2  Max. level = min. measuring distance

3  Reference plane

If these values are not known, an adjustment with the distances of e.g. 

10 % and 90 % is possible. Starting point for these distance specifica-

tions is always the sealing surface of the thread or flange. You can find 

specifications on the reference plane in chapter "

Technical data

". The 

actual level is calculated on the basis of these settings.
The actual product level during this adjustment is not important, 

because the min./max. adjustment is always carried out without 

changing the product level. These settings can be made ahead of 

time without the instrument having to be installed.

The function "

Setup

" allows the echo curve to be saved at the time of 

setup.
Information:

This is generally recommended, however, for use of the Asset 

Management functions it is absolutely necessary. Saving should be 

carried out with a very low level.
The function "

Echo curve memory

" allows up to ten individual echo 

curves to be stored, for example to detect the measurement behav-

iour of the sensor in different operating conditions.
With the adjustment software PACTware and the PC, the stored echo 

curves can be displayed with high resolution and used to recognize 

signal changes over time. In addition, the echo curve saved during 

setup can also be displayed in the echo curve window and compared 

with the current echo curve.
