6 Diagnosis

6.1 Simulation

To simulate a certain filling, you can call up
the function "Simulation" on the adjustment
module MINICOM or in the software program
VVO.

With this function, you simulate a real vessel
filling level. Please note that connected instru-
ments, such as e.g. a PLC, react according
to their adjustments and will probably acti-
vate alarms or system functions.

6.2 Error codes

Error codes

Corrective measure

E013

No valid measured value

Message is displayed during the warm-up

- Sensor in the warm-up phase

phase

- Loss of the useful echo

If the message remains, a false echo storage
(with the adjustment software on the PC - see
"Echo curve" under "Sensor optimisation") must
be carried out together with a modification of
mounting location and orientation to achieve the
lowest possible false echo background.

E017

Adjustment span too small

Carry out a readjustment.
Make sure that the difference between
min. and max. adjustment is at least 10 mm .

E036

Sensor software does not run

Sensor requires a software update (service).

Message appears during a software update.

E040

Hardware failure/Electronics defec-

Check all connection cables.

tive

Transducer defective.
Contact our service department.

Simulation with VVO

If you start the simulation mode with the ad-
justment program VVO on the PC, the simu-
lated level is outputted until you quit the
simulation mode.

Simulation with MINICOM

If you start the simulation mode on the adjust-
ment module MINICOM, the sensor returns to
standard operating mode after one hour.
