False echo suppression
•
With the tank empty, check whether
distance displayed in V0H8
corresponds to the distance to the
product surface "D".

•
The LED and fault indicator flash while the false echo suppression map is being
recorded. Warning E514 appears.

There is a further method of recording a false echo suppression map (V3H0 = 4)
which is described in Chapter 7.6

After calibrationAfter calibration, the Micropilot measures level in %. The analogue output follows the
display in V0H0. The current values 4 mA and 20 mA are automatically assigned to the
levels 0% and 100%.
