6 RS Sigma
 Displayed only when Response Mode is set to Rapid Switch .
This value is the threshold where the rapid switchover responds.
The higher the value, the higher the threshold and the less likely the
response to interference radiation.
The default value of 10 is suitable for most applications.
With irregular levels, e.g. due to agitators, the interference radia-
tion detection would be triggered constantly due to strong level fluc-
tuations. In these cases, you must set Sigma to a higher value.

Source Exchange .
Often, it is not apparent to the user when a source must be
replaced. Activate the message "Source Exchange" if you want to
be warned in time that the source has to be replaced. Reasons for
a source replacement may be to ensure the measurement function,
or, for radiation protection reasons, a maximum service life of the
source.
To get the warning messages, you have to evaluate the messages
via the HART
®
signal or the digital output.
IMPORTANT
Usually, the manufacturer recommends a service life of the source
of about 10 years. A longer service life of the source has to be clar-
ified with the Radiation Safety Officer in charge who is familiar with
the local radiation protection requirements.
The service life approved by the Radiation Safety Officer limits the
maximum period of use, even if a longer technical service life is
displayed under
Warning Date . In this case, select DATE at
Selection and enter the source exchange date specified by the
Radiation Safety Officer.
