Confirm Yes or No to adjust Application Parameters. Yes / No
Advanced /
Standard
Advanced is a new mode which utilizes two signal control modes to
maximize system reliability. It monitors incoming signal strength of Echo
Distance and Acoustic Modulation.
Standard mode monitors only the Echo Distance signal based
measurement (as per previous generation of Acoustic Switch software).
Advanced /
Standard
Start Dist
Set Start of Echo Filter Window distance.
Typical setup for Start distance should be either equal to or slightly less
than the distance between the Transducers.
Adjustable
End Dist
Set End of Echo Filter Window distance.
Typical setup for End distance should be Start Distance +350mm (11.8").
Adjustable
Sensitivity
Set Sensitivity to media. A high value will make the unit more sensitive
to switching and responding to lighter materials. A low value is suitable
for most switch applications and will make the unit more resilient to false
switching.
1-99%
Switch
• Configures the unit for typical level switch applications and Chute applications where Blocked Chute mode
is too resilient (eg for light materials or narrow chutes) .
• There are two selectable modes for Blocked Chute configuration. Advanced and Standard.
