Configuring the sensor
Certain sensor parameters can be configured to improve measurement accuracy and reliability. This
configuration can be performed from the Sensor Setup menu found under the Device Setup menu.
Selecting the application category
The application category is the type of media in which the sensor will be used. Applications are based
on the dielectric constant (DC) value of the medium measured. The default application category
depends on the instrument ordered.
To set the application category:
1 Select Device Setup > Sensor Setup > Application Category.
2 Press Edit.
3 Highlight the appropriate application (based on medium measured [DC or liquid vs solid] or the
need to measure the interface between two liquids) and press OK.
The interface application is used to measure the height in a vessel where substances
with differing dielectric constants separate naturally, as illustrated below. All measures are
performed from the empty/zero value.
