5.5.3 Setting lost echo time (on the 3102/3105)
Screen display: LE
Default: 900
The lost echo time is the seconds that the transmitter will wait before taking the lost echo
action (see “Selecting the Lost Echo action (on the 3102/3105)” on page 51).
A value up to 9999 can be entered. It is recommended that the lost echo time remains set to
900 seconds to avoid false trips and fault/alarm indication from a temporary loss of echo caused
by transient poor surface conditions.
A lower lost echo time should only be programmed if it is important that the lost echo action is
taken more quickly.
Note
This menu option is in the engineering menu “Eng”. See “Accessing the engineering menu (on
the 3102/3105)” on page 62 or see Figure C-5 on page 106 for a map of the menu structure.
