Calibration
Required
Out of Spec
Factory calibration has been lost.
Measurement accuracy is diminished.
Return transmitter to factory for
recalibration.

Reserved for future use.
28
Inferred Level
Out of Spec
The target has been lost within the
Max Distance Jump distance from the
Top or Bottom Blocking Distance
locations. As a result, the transmitter
has inferred that the level has moved
into one of those blocking regions, and
will report level measurement
corresponding to full or empty along
with the Inferred Level diagnostic.
Verify level reading. If incorrect the
configuration may need to be adjusted.
Contact MAGNETROL Technical
Support.
