In delivery status, the lighting is switched on.
In this menu item, the device status is displayed.
The respective min. and max. measured distance values are saved in
the sensor. The values are displayed in the menu item "
Peak values
".
The respective min. and max. measured values of the electronics tem-
perature are saved in the sensor. These values as well as the current
temperature value are displayed in the menu item "
Peak values
".
When non-contact level sensors are used, the measurement can be
influenced by the respective process conditions. In this menu item,
the measurement certainty of the level echo is displayed as a dB
value. Measurement reliability equals signal strength minus noise. The
higher the value, the more reliable the measurement. A well function-
ing measurement normally has a value > 10 dB.
In this menu item you simulate measured values via the signal output.
Hence, the signal path can be tested via the segment coupler up to
the input card of the control system.
