4 Operation
4.1 On-site operation
For the F12 housing, the operating elements are located within the transmitter housing
and can be operated when the cover is open. The T12 housing has a separate display
compartment which also can be opened in hazardous areas. The Micropilot has four
keys and an LED.

The LED flashes when an entered value is registered as well as during the
suppression of interference echoes. During operation it remains off.
•
The device keys allow the basic calibration of the Micropilot, but are deactivated
when the operating and display module VU 330 is connected.
