7 Commissioning
7.1 Function check
Before commissioning your measuring point, ensure that the post-installation and post-
connection checks have been performed:
• "Post-installation check" checklist→ 14
• "Post-connection check" checklist → 16
7.2 Commissioning with an operating menu
• The device is preconfigured at the factory in such a way that it can be used for the
majority of applications without the need for an adjustment. The electrical switch point
of the device is factory-set to product with a particle size ⌀ < 10 mm and a relative
dielectric constant ε
r
≥ 1.6. Depending on the option ordered, the device is configured for
the type of installation with a protector or without a protector with lock nuts
(installation is intended in a metal tank in each case). A customer-specific adjustment
(empty and full adjustment) is recommended for other types of installation (e.g.
installation in plastic tanks, weld-in adapters).
• For switch-sensitive applications, the measurement performance can be improved by a
customer-specific adjustment. An adjustment is recommended for:
• sensitive media (< 1.6 DC)
• different type of installation
• In processes with large variations in temperature, the temperature dependence of the
medium must be taken into account. A new empty and full calibration can compensate
for these variations.
