6.5.12 2 Ph. Threshold (menu C1.5.3)

The threshold for the 2 phase signal can be set in this menu item. This makes it possible to
output a status signal indicating the presence of gas bubbles in the process. There are no default
values for this threshold. This means that the operator must adapt this value to suit his
application. This can be done, for example, by programming the 2 phase signal at the current
output and registering which threshold makes sense for the respective process for a certain
time period.

Example regarding the detection and notification of a two-phase disturbed flow (e.g.
gas bubbles in paints):

The 2 phase signal is displayed on the 2nd measuring page at the bottom with e.g.: 0.02%. If the
threshold is exceeded (C3.4.2), a message is sent via terminals C.
