Signal Processing (2.8.)
Note
Default settings in the parameter tables are indicated with an asterisk (*) unless explicitly
stated.
Near Range (2.8.1.)
The range in front of the device (measured from the sensor reference point) within which any
echoes will be ignored. This is sometimes referred to as blanking or a dead zone. The
factory setting is 50 mm (2") past the end of the antenna, and the default is dependent on the
antenna type and process connection. [See Dimension drawings (Page 183) for antenna
heights.]
Values
Range: 0 to 20 m (0 to 65.6 ft)
Default depends on antenna type and process connection:

Far Range (2.8.2.)
Note
Far Range can extend beyond the bottom of the vessel.
Allows the material level to drop below Low Calibration Point without generating a Loss of
Echo (LOE) state. See
Sensor Mode (2.2.2.) for an illustration.
