horizontal cylindrical or spherical tank. Activate the appropriate

5. A "False signal suppression" detects, marks and saves the false
signals so that they are no longer taken into account for level

The sensor measures the distance from the sensor (reference plane)
to the product surface.

5 Lower dead band (in this area no measurement is possible)
For this adjustment, the distance is entered when the vessel is full
and nearly empty. If these values are not known, an adjustment with
other distances, for example, 10 % and 90 % is also possible. Starting
point for these distance specifications is always the seal surface of
the thread or flange.
