Nozzles or other objects close to the antenna may cause disturbing reflections. Such reflections
can be blocked out by configuring an upper blind zone (A).
Note:
In the upper blind zone, the level is not or not reliably detected.
u
Make sure that the maximum level is limited, e.g. by using an overflow or by throttling the inlet.
8.4 System commands
Start simulation
Starts the simulation mode. The level set under the parameter [S.Lvl] is
simulated.
Stop simulation
Stops the simulation.
Reset to factory settings
Restores the factory settings (all parameters)
For further information, please refer to the IODD description
parameter descriptions of the used parameter setting software.
8.5 Example parameter setting
•
The unit is to monitor the level in an 8 m high tank.
•
The unit is mounted in a nozzle (nozzle height: 150 mm).
•
No tank offset is to be used.
•
The medium is aqueous (beer or milk).
•
The unit to be used is [m].
•
Output OUT2 is to be configured as an analogue output.
u
Reset the unit to factory settings:
Execute the system command [Factory reset].
w
This serves to avoid incorrect settings and establish a defined start situation.
