6. Operator interface
The operator interface differs depending on the system design:
•
DIN rail housing without display, operation via PC software
•
Field housing with display, alternative operation via PC software
•
One to three sensor system
First of all, the different system versions are described below. Following that, the basic operation of the
SolidFlow 2.0 system as a one sensor system is then described without going back over the different versions.

The transmitter in the DIN rail can only be configured via a serial connection and a PC program. On the
transmitter in the field housing, all functions can be configured by menu via the touch-sensitive display.
The field housing transmitter can also be configured by PC.
The menu items on the display and in the PC software are numbered in a uniform manner so that
they can be referred to later on.
