Selecting linearisation Two vessel characteristics are available: linear or horizontal cylinder
Note!
• The switch on the left on the FEC 12 electronic insert must be moved to the left
so that linearisation can be carried out remotely with the handheld terminal.

LINEARISATION
Selecting linearisation
e.g. LINEAR
Level is proportional to volume,
i.e. the cross-section of the vessel remains
constant over the entire distance

Note!
• You can also calibrate in technical units, see also 4 mA/20 mA value, p 13. In this
case, if a horizontal cylinder is selected, the entries must be made in volume units!
4.3 Extended Calibration using the HART Communicator 275
4 mA threshold The factory settings allow a current range from 3.8 mA to 20 mA and larger. Since a
current less than 4 mA could result in unwanted responses by process control
systems, it is possible to set a threshold of 4 mA on the current output, below which it
cannot fall.
