8.4 Level measurement with automatic calibration correction
Operating mode 5 employs the limit switch on channel 2 to check the validity of the
calibration on channel 1. If a descrepancy is found, e.g. because of a change in
conductivity or dielectric constant for capacitance probes or in density for Deltapilot S,
the level displayed at V0H0 is corrected.
If a Deltapilot S is being used, only a Liquiphant
can be used as limit switch.
The calibration at channel 1 is corrected every time the product passes the switching
point. A plausibility check prevents
•
if the measured level is less than the installation height of the level limit probe
when this is covered
•
if the measured level is greater than the installation height (V8H3) of the level
limit probe when this is uncovered.
Installation hints Install the switching probe where:
•
it is frequently covered and uncovered
•
as near as possible to 100% (ensures greatest accuracy)
-
we recommend a height between 70
…
90%.
If, for level measurement with capacitance probes, the product is frequently changed,
the switching probe must be installed in the side of the vessel or a Liquiphant must be
used. For this arrangement, the properties may not change during a filling operation,
since there is no means of continuous compensation.
•
It is imperative that the limit switch trips even with the smallest dielectric
constants (capacitance probe) and across the entire density range (vibration
sensor).
•
To safely avoid overfilling, it may be necessary to install in separate overspill
protection system.
•
This operating mode is not recommended for bulk solids.
•
When using a capacitive limit level probe, where possible the calibration of
the limit switch should only be carried out with the probe free.
