Error behavior
Error
Cause
Solution
After installation, the sensor indicates a
high level although the tank is empty.
AutCal not performed
Perform commissioning (see
When used with a coaxial tube, the sen-
sor indicates a high level even though
the tank is empty.
AutCal not performed
Perform commissioning (see
Level value fluctuates on the display
Medium surface unsettled
Activate filtering (see
missioning (with factory settings)”
).
The displayed level value/SPx/RPx/FHx/
FLx/QALOW/QAHIGH is greater than the
probe length.
An offset was configured for the level
value
Adjust offset (see
).
Incorrect probe length configured
Adjust probe length (see
).
Level occasionally jumps to a higher
value
Contamination in the vicinity of the
process connection
Clean
Spray ball or feed wetting probe with
medium above the medium surface
Observe the installation conditions
Configure the MaxCoL plausibility filter
(see
“8.4.2 Filtering measured values”
).
Change in the ambient conditions with
respect to the situation during the Aut-
Cal process
Perform commissioning again
(see
).
Significant buildup of foam
Perform foam commissioning
(see
TrsHld set too low, echo algorithm de
-
tecting interference reflections
Increase TrsHld
Level occasionally jumps to 0 mm
TrsHld set too high
Perform advanced commissioning
(see
).
Significant buildup of foam
Perform foam commissioning
No measurement of low levels for media
with low DK values
Increased inactive range at the end of
the probe for media with a low DK
Increased measurement inaccuracy
Use of foam algorithm
