6.2.2 Setup
Thismenuitemallowsyoutoadaptthesensortothedierentmeas-
uring conditions of the media "Liquid" or "Bulk solid".
The corresponding application is selected in the following menu item
"Application".
Through this selection the operating range of the sensor is adapted
to the vessel height. Hence the measurement reliability is increased
considerablyunderdierentbasicconditions.
Note:
Regardless of this, the min. adjustment must also be carried out (see
following section).
Since the radar sensor is a distance measuring instrument, it is the
distance from the sensor to the medium surface that is measured. To
indicate the actual level, the measured distance must be assigned to
a certain height percentage (min./max. adjustment).
During adjustment, enter the respective measuring distance when the
vessel is full and empty (see the following examples):
