10.1.4 Performance characteristics
Reaction time The reaction time depends on the parameter settings. The minimum value is: min. 2 s
Reference operating
conditions
• Temperature = +20 °C (68 °F)
• Pressure = 1013 mbar abs. (15 psi abs.)
• Humidity = 50 %
• Ideal reflective surface (e.g. calm, smooth fluid surface)
• No interference reflections within signal beam
• Set application parameters:
– Tank shape = flat ceiling
– Medium property = liquid
– process conditions = calm surface
Measured value resolution 1 mm (0.04 in)
Measuring error Typical specifications for reference operating conditions (include linearity, repeatability, and
hysteresis):
±3mm (±0.12 in) or 0.2% of set measuring distance (empty calibration)

Influence of the vapor pressure The vapor pressure at 20 °C (68 °F) gives a hint on the accuracy of the ultrasonic level
measurement. If the vapor pressure at 20 °C (68 °F) is below 50 mbar (0.73 psi), ultrasonic level
measurement is possible with a very high accuracy. This is valid for water, aqueous solutions, water-
solid-solutions, dilute acids (hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, ...), dilute bases (caustic soda, ...), oils,
greases, slurries, pastes, ...
High vapor pressures or outgassing media (ethanol, acetone, ammonia, ...) can influence the
accuracy. If conditions like these are present, please contact the Endress+Hauser support.
