VEGAPULS C 11 • Two-wire 4 … 20 mA

58340-EN-200806

Fault description

Cause

Rectification

Measured value fluctuates 

around 10 … 20 %

Level

time

0

Various echoes from an uneven medi-

um surface, e.g. a material cone

Check parameter "Material Type" and 

adapt, if necessary
Optimize installation position and sen-

sor orientation

Reflections from the medium surface 

via the vessel wall (deflection)

Select a more suitable installation po-

sition, optimize sensor orientation, e.g. 

with a swivelling holder

Measured value jumps spo-

radically to 100 % during 

filling

Level

time

0

Changing condensation or contamina-

tion on the antenna

Carry out a false signal suppression 

or increase false signal suppression 

with condensation/contamination in the 

close range by editing

Bulk solids: Measurement error during emptying

Fault description

Cause

Rectification

Measured value remains un-

changed in the close range 

during emptying

Level

time

0

False signal greater than level echo or 

level echo too small

Eliminate false signals in the close 

range. Check: Antenna must protrude 

out of the nozzle
Remove contamination on the antenna
Minimize interfering installations in the 

close range by changing the polariza-

tion direction
After eliminating the false signals, the 

false signal suppression must be de-

leted. Carry out a new false signal 

suppression

Measured value jumps spo-

radically towards 100 % 

during emptying

Level

time

0

Changing condensation or contamina-

tion on the antenna

Carry out false signal suppression or in-

crease false signal suppression in the 

close range by editing

Measured value fluctuates 

around 10 … 20 %

Level

time

0

Various echoes from an uneven medi-

um surface, e.g. an extraction funnel

Check parameter "Material Type" and 

adapt, if necessary

Reflections from the medium surface 

via the vessel wall (deflection)

Optimize installation position and sen-

sor orientation

10.6  Software update

The device software is updated via Bluetooth.
The following components are required:

• 

Instrument

• 

Voltage supply

• 

PC/notebook with PACTware/DTM and Bluetooth USB adapter
