Fig. 7: Parameterisation example, Min./max. adjustment
1  Min. level = max. measuring distance

2  Max. level = min. measuring distance

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.

High sockets or vessel installations, such as e. g. struts or agitators as 

well as buildup and weld joints on the vessel walls, cause interfering 

reflections which can impair the measurement. A false echo storage 

detects and marks these false echoes, so that they are no longer 

taken into account for the level measurement. A false echo memory 

should be created with low level so that all potential interfering reflec-

tions can be detected.
