The app confirms the successful activation with the message:
"The sensor was activated, serial no.: ………, device VEGAPULS Air

Setup is now complete and the unit is ready for operation.
6.2 Measurement function
After activation, a single measurement is carried out and the cyclic
measurement interval is started. The sensor delivers the distance
value from the bottom of the antenna to the medium surface. The
conversion into level is carried out e.g. in the VEGA Inventory System
on the application server or in a cloud service.
The device offers the possibility to test the communication in the
respective network. The current measured value is determined and
transmitted once outside the cyclical transmission.
The procedure is done by new activation via NFC or magnet as
described above. The sensor is simultaneously activated for the cycli-
cal transmission of measured values. The transmission cycle of an
already activated sensor is not changed by this.
