4.5 Getting Started
in the Professional Mode
Errors in calibration or in the parameter setting may lead to incor-
rect measurement results. This may possibly lead to production
downtime or damage to the system.
To check your device settings after commissioning, we recommend
using the test settings in the Service menu to simulate the calibra-
tion points.
Wherever possible, a test run, if possible under operating condi-
tions, will provide you with a high level of security regarding the
accuracy of your calibration. This test run has to cover the entire
measuring range.
If a test run is not possible, then you should at least check the
reaction of the measurement with empty container and full con-
tainer should be simulated by closing the source shielding.
Basically, it is advisable to have commissioning carried out by the
BERTHOLD TECHNOLOGIES service.
In the professional mode (code "04" = 1), all parameters can be
configured as needed and there is no restriction as to their order,
with the exception of code 36 which always has to be enabled at
the end of the calibration procedure. For this reason, a calibration
sequence cannot be depicted in detail, since other operating se-
quences are possible, depending on each application, and other
parameters have to be set.
The parameters are described in the table on page 19.
On page 17 you find the description of the extended functions of
the professional mode.
If the calibration values in code 30 to 35 are changed, this be-
comes effective only if the calibration is completed with code 36.
Even if you are changing values in code 12, 17, 18, 19 and 39, we
recommend performing a calibration in code 36. Only then you will
be alerted to possibly incorrect settings.
On page 36 you find the calibration error table.
