ment
± 5 mm (0.197 in)
Typical deviation - Total level interface
measurement
See following diagrams
Typical deviation - Level measurement
2)3)
See following diagrams
1)
With interface measurement = 2.0
2)
Depending on the installation conditions, there can be deviations which can be rectified with an adaptation of
the adjustment or a change of the measured value offset in the DTM service mode
3)
The dead bands can be optimizes by a false signal suppression.
