      Katherine PittsSep 8, 2025
      If the NIVELCO Transmitter displays a “Tank full” status marker and the reading is frozen at the maximum or minimum value, measurements should return to normal once the level is within the configured measurement range.

      The “Flange not found” status marker on a NIVELCO Transmitter indicates that the signal converter has been incorrectly configured to measure with a cable or rod probe when it is actually equipped with a coaxial probe. This can also occur if the installation is on a long nozzle, which attenuates the flange pulse.
