User programmable means: Switching on a linearization curve
programmed via PC and PACTware
A linearization is necessary for all vessels in which the vessel volume
does not increase linearly with the level - e. g. with a horizontal
cylindrical or spherical tank - and the indication or output of the volume
is required. Corresponding linearization curves are preprogrammed for
these vessels. They represent the correlation between the level
percentage and vessel volume. The linearisation applies to the
measured value indication and the current output. By activating the
appropriate curve, the volume percentage of the vessel is displayed
correctly. If the volume should not be displayed in percent but e.g. in l
or kg, a scaling can be also set in the menu item "Display".
Factory setting is linear.
Linearisation curve
Linear
Caution:
Note the following, if the respective sensor is used as part of an overfill
protection system according to WHG:
If a linearisation curve is selected, the measuring signal is no longer
compulsorily linear proportional to the level. This must be taken into
consideration by the user, particularly when adjusting the switching
point on the level switch.
Basic adjustment/Sensor TAG
In the menu item "Sensor-TAG" you edit a 12-digit measurement loop
name. An unambiguous designation can hence be assigned to the
sensor, e.g. the measurement loop name or the tank or product
designation. In digital systems and in the documentation of larger
plants, a singular designation should be entered for exact identification
of individual measuring sites.
The available digits comprise:
l Letters from A … Z
l Numbers from 0 … 9
l Special characters +, -, /, -
Factory setting is "Sensor".

When non-contact level sensors are used, the measurement can be

measurement reliability of the level echo is displayed as dB value. The
measurement reliability equals signal strength minus noise. The higher
the value, the more reliable the measurement. With a functioning
measurement, the values are > 10 dB.
The instrument status is displayed in this menu item. If no failure is
detected by the sensor, "OK" will be displayed. If a failure is detected,
there will be a sensor-specific flashing fault signal, for example "E013".

In ultrasonic and radar sensors as well as sensors with guided
microwave, the "Echo curve" represents the signal strength of the
echoes over the measuring range. The units of the signal strength are
"dB" (ultrasonic and radar) and "Volt" (guided microwave). The signal
strength allows an assessment of the quality of the measurement.
With ultrasonic and radar sensors, the "False echo curve" represents
the saved false echoes (see menu " Service") of the empty vessel with
signal strength in "dB" over the measuring range.
Up to 3000 measured values are recorded (depending on the sensor)
when starting a "Trend curve". Then the values can be displayed on a
time axis. The oldest measured values are always deleted.
In the menu item "Choose curve", the respective curve is selected.

Information:
The trend recording is not activated when being shipped. It must be

A comparison of the echo curve and the false echo curve allows a
more detailled specification of measurement reliability. The selected
curve is updated continuously. With the [OK] key, a submenu with
zoom functions is opened.
The following functions are available with "Echo and false echo

l "X-Zoom": Zoom function for the meas. distance
l "Y-Zoom": 1, 2, 5 and 10x signal magnification in "dB"

Before data are written into the sensor, a check is carried out to
determine whether the data fit the sensor. If the data do not fit, a fault
signal is triggered or the function is blocked. When writing data into the

In the menu item "Sensor-TAG" you edit a 12-digit measurement loop
name. An unambiguous designation can hence be assigned to the
sensor, e.g. the measurement loop name or the tank or product
designation. In digital systems and in the documentation of larger
plants, a singular designation should be entered for exact identification
of individual measuring sites.
The available digits comprise:
l Letters from A … Z
l Numbers from 0 … 9
l Special characters +, -, /, -
In this menu item, the PIN is activated/deactivated permanently.
Entering a 4-digit PIN protects the sensor data against u nauthorized
access and unintentional modifications. If the PIN is activated
permanently, it can be deactivated temporarily (i.e. for approx. 60 min.)
in any menu item.
Only the following functions are permitted with activated PIN:
l Select menu items and show data
l Read data from the sensor into the indicating/adjustment module.
Caution:
With active PIN, the adjustment via PACTware/DTM as well as other
systems is also blocked.
In delivery status, the PIN is "0000".

A linearization is necessary for all vessels in which the vessel volume
does not increase linearly with the level - e. g. with a horizontal
cylindrical or spherical tank - and the indication or output of the volume
is required. Corresponding linearization curves are preprogrammed for
these vessels. They represent the correlation between the level
percentage and vessel volume. The linearisation applies to the
41787-EN-120316

measured value indication and the current output. By activating the
appropriate curve, the volume percentage of the vessel is displayed
correctly. If the volume should not be displayed in percent but e.g. in l
or kg, a scaling can be also set in the menu item "Display".
Caution:
Note the following, if the respective sensor is used as part of an overfill
protection system according to WHG:
If a linearisation curve is selected, the measuring signal is no longer
compulsorily linear proportional to the level. This must be taken into
consideration by the user, particularly when adjusting the switching
point on the level switch.

l All data of the menu "Setup" and "Display"
l In the menu "Additional settings" the items "Distance unit,
temperature unit and linearization"
l The values of the user programmable linearisation curve
The copied data are permanently saved in an EEPROM memory in the
indicating and adjustment module and remain there even in case of
power failure. From there, they can be written into one or more sensors
or kept as backup for a possible sensor exchange.
Kind and volume of the copied data depend on the respective sensor.
Note:
Before the data are stored in the sensor, a check is carried out to
determine if the data fit the sensor. If the data do not fit, a fault signal is
triggered or the function is blocked. When data are being written into
the sensor, the display shows which instrument type the data originate
from and which TAG-no. this sensor had.
