    What to do if the measured value jumps sporadically on Endress+Hauser Prosonic M FMU41?
    • T
      Thomas HansenAug 20, 2025
      If you observe the measured value jumping sporadically to higher levels with an uneven surface, you can: 1. Perform interference echo suppression. 2. Set the process conditions to 'calm surface' or 'add. agitator'. 3. Increase output damping. 4. If necessary, choose a different installation position or a larger sensor.

    What to do if there is no change in measured value on filling/emptying with Endress+Hauser Measuring Instruments?
    • T
      Theresa GoldenAug 21, 2025
      If you notice no change in the measured value during filling or emptying: 1. Perform interference echo suppression. 2. Clean the sensor if needed. 3. If necessary, select a better installation position. 4. If wide interference echoes are present, set the function "detection window" (0A7) to "off".
