14. Conguration overview and factory settings
The two switches in the CleverLevel PL20H/S can be congured independently. One of three trigger modes
can be selected for each switch:

Adaptive trigger

Window trigger

Analog output
For further information, refer to the following sections.
14.1 Adaptive trigger
The adaptive trigger is a plug-and-play solution.
With the adaptive trigger, manual sensor
conguration is not required, since the trigger
will automatically congure the output signal to
react to a new medium. The adaptive trigger is
very useful for applications with sticky media or
for applications where the medium is changed
frequently.
Normally, it is not necessary to congure the
adaptive trigger, but if the advanced setup is
enabled, it is possible to dene low and high
set points for the adaptive trigger window and a
damping. The steady detection function ensures
that the input signal is steady for 1 second before
the switch output reacts. If the steady detection
function is inactive, the switch output will react
immediately to each input change.
To ensure a fully functional adaptive trigger, the
following conditions have to be fullled:

The sensor has to be in air during startup.

The input signal has to be steady.

The difference between the value for untriggered
and the value for triggered must be more than
3 %.

If a new medium with a DC value lower than
the previously congured DC value has to be
detected, the sensor tip should be cleaned before
the new medium is lled in the tank or pipe.

14.2 Analog 4 ... 20 mA
The analog signal (4 … 20 mA) represents the
complete range of the sensor from 0 … 100 %.
The analog signal can be used to evaluate different
media in the application.
It is possible to zoom on the sensor range, so that
the resolution of the signal is higher within the
zoomed area. Additionally, the analog signal can
be reversed.
For more information, refer to the HELP menu in
FlexProgram.
