3.4.5 Summary of User Functions
The table below provides an overview of all parameters that can be set in the configuration menu.
Reset default values are in bold type in the “Input Range” column.
Function (Fct.)
Input Range Description
1.0.0 OPERATION
1.1.0 BASIS.PARAM These functions concern the
display only
Enter 0.1 to 60 m
(3.3 to 197 ft.) 1.1.1 TANKHEIGHT
As per order
This is the distance from the flange to
the bottom of the tank. Can be set to
the probe length to ignore the bottom
non-linear & non-measurable zones.
1.1.2
HOLD DIST.
(Hold Distance) Enter a value from 0 mm /
0 in to probe length.
The Minimum value = 0 m
Warning : Critical Parameter • Twin probes
Probe length<2m/6.5’
0.25 m / 9.8 in
Probe length>2m/6.5’
0.45 m / 17.7 in
• Single probes
Probe length<2 m/6.5’
0.25 m / 9.8 in
Probe length>2 m/6.5’
0.60 m / 23.6 in
• Coaxial probe
0.05 m / 2 in
This prevents the gauge from
displaying a zone near the flange
where measurements may not be
possible. Function 1.5.3 “Detection
Delay” should be used to suppress
any non-product reflections as
reflections within this zone are still
registered.
1 to 100 seconds 1.1.3 TIME CONST.
(Time Constant) 5 seconds
This function filters possible signal
fluctuations when the tank is turbulent.
1.1.4 WIN.FROZEN
(Window Frozen)
Select YES or NO
Warning : Critical Parameter NO (window open)
This causes the instrument to freeze
or open its search window if product
reflection is lost. See function 1.1.5 /
1.1.6 for more details. “YES” means
the gauge will only search in the zone
specified in Fct. 1.1.5.
Enter 0.2 m / 7.9” to
probe length, L 1.1.5 LEVEL WIN.
(Level Window)
• Powders
4.0 m / 13.12 ft
• Others
0.5 m / 19.7 in
Sets the operating window for level
measurement.
The window is centred around the
level and moves as the level changes.
If product reflection is lost, the
instrument reacts according to the
configuration set in Function 1.1.4.
The value refers to the total window: a
value of 500 mm / 20 “ denotes a
window +/-250 mm / +/-9.84” around
the measurement.
Enter 0.2 m / 7.9” to
probe length, L 1.1.6 INTERF. WIN.
(Interface Window)
1.0 m / 3.28 ft.
Sets the operating window for
interface measurement. Refer to Fct.
1.1.5 for details.
1.1.7 PROBE LGTH.
(Probe Length)
Enter 0.1 m / 7.9” to
probe length 60 m / 197ft.
Warning : Critical Parameter Per sales order
Length of probe, L
1
, measured from
the flange. Do not include the
counterweight length. Modify this only
if the probe length has been changed.
