COMMISSIONING
• We recommend setting a value of at least 5 mm to avoid incorrect measurement due
to conveyor belt vibration.
How to configure the ignoring of measurement points below the reference contour:
Switch to the
System
tab.
Activate the
Ignore measurement points below the reference contour
checkbox.
Configure the
Threshold
value in mm.
8.3.5
Contour smoothing (only valid for Bukscan
®
LMS111)
The contour smoothing function allows to smooth the measured contour in order to
avoid short-term fluctuations on the volume measurement. A high level of contour
smoothing is recommended for rough measurement contours.
Available values for the
Contour smoothin
g function are
Off, Low, Medium, High,
Maximal.
How to configure the smoothing of the measured contour:
Switch to the
System
tab.
Configure the optimal
Contour smoothing
level for your application.

Monitoring of the contamination degree
The front screen of the Bulkscan® may become contaminated due to the environmen-
tal conditions. This reduces the emitted and received energy from the laser beam and
thereby the measurement accuracy.
The Bulkscan® has six contamination sensors which monitor contamination during
operation.
You can choose from different contamination measurement strategies, these determine
the number of contamination sensors which are evaluated.
Strategy
Behavior
Inactive
Contamination measurement is not carried out
Highly availabe
Contamination warning and contamination errors are only output when
the front screen is uniformly contaminated.
Available
Contamination warning and contamination errors are output when the
front screen is partially contaminated.
Sensitive
Contamination warning and contamination errors are output even when
there is just a little or local contamination.
Tab. 18: Contamination measurement strategies
A contamination warning is output first for the different degrees of contamination. If
the front screen is not cleaned and contamination increases, then a contamination
error is output and the Bulkscan® stops the measuring operation.
Static charges cause dust particles to be attracted to the front screen. The front screen
of the Bulkscan® should be cleaned regularly and in the event of contamination (see
"9.1 Cleaning the front screen“ on page 76).
