ramp %/min
On echo loss, a warning is generated after a definable "delay time". The output is changed towards
0% or 100% depending on the slope defined in "ramp %span/min".
7.2.4 Function "ramp %span/min"
Ramp slope which defines the output value on echo loss. This value is used if "ramp %span/min"
is selected in "outp. echo loss". The slope is given in % of the measuring range per minute.
7.2.5 Function "delay time"
Use this function to enter the delay time (Default = 30 s) after which a warning is generated on echo
loss, or after which the instrument switches to alarm state.
7.2.6 Function "safety distance"
A configurable safety distance is placed before the "blocking dist.". This distance warns you that
any further level increase would make the measurement invalid.
Enter the size of the safety distance here. The default value is: 0.1 m.
