13. Navigate to: Setup → Signal quality
 Displays the signal quality of the level echo.
14. For operation via local display:
Navigate to: Setup → Mapping → Confirm distance
 Make sure the vessel is completely empty. Then select Tank empty option.
15. For operation via operating tool (e.g. FieldCare):
Navigate to: Setup → Confirm distance
 Make sure the vessel is completely empty. Then select Tank empty option.
NOTICE
Wrong dielectric constant of the lower medium may cause a measuring error.
‣
If, in the case of Operating mode = Interface with capacitance, the lower medium is
not water, it is necessary to specify its dielectric constant (DC value): Setup → Advanced
setup → Interface → DC value lower medium
NOTICE
Wrong empty capacitance may cause a measuring error.
‣
For rod and rope probes with Operating mode = Interface with capacitance a correct
measurement is only possible if the empty capacitance has been determined. To do so,
make sure that the vessel is completely empty and set Confirm distance = Tank
empty. Only in exceptional cases (if the tank can not be emptied during the
commissioning) the empty capacitance of rod probes may be entered manually: Expert
→ Sensor → Interface → Empty capacitance.
For coax probes the correct empty capacitance is always set on delivery.
