Set-up

First of all the actual measured value and the
signal current are displayed.

• Click on "Start“ in the turquoise window

segment.

The grey scrollbar becomes active. With this
scrollbar you can modify the measured value
in the range of -10 % … 110 % and whereby
simulate the filling or emptying of your vessel.
In the field with the figures in the turquoise
window cut-out you can also enter an indi-
vidual %-value for the filling degree.

Note:

The sensor automatically returns to standard
operating condition 1 hour after the last simu-
lation adjustment.

Backup

In the menu window "Backup“ the sensor with
the serial number is shown. You can save the
sensor on your PC in a directory of your
choice either individually, or in groups, with all
adjustments. In addition, you can add a short
note to each backup.

Saved sensor data can be transferred to
other sensors later. If you have, for example
a system with several storage vessels and
identical sensors, it is sufficient to configure
one sensor and then transfer to the other
sensors.

• Choose the menu "Services/Restore con-

figuration/Sensors“

In this menu window the actual adjustment
(database) with date and time of the last
system configuration is displayed in the yel-
low window cut-out. When you click on the
serial number of the sensor from which you
want to take over the adjustments, you trans-
fer these sensor adjustments to the actually
connected sensor with "Restore to".
