6.4.8 Thresholds and parasitic signals
General notes
The low-power electromagnetic signal from the device goes down the probe. The surface of the
process and objects in the tank make reflections. These reflections go back up the probe to the
signal converter. The signal converter converts the reflections into voltage amplitudes.
Reflections from objects in the tanks show as interference signals (parasitic signals).
. If you cannot find the correct signal on the signal screen,
How thresholds work
Thresholds let the device ignore reflections with small amplitudes and monitor changes in level
or interface. The voltage amplitude of signals depends on the distance of the reflection from the
signal converter. Because the voltage amplitude decreases as distance increases, the threshold
decreases logarithmically. The device uses largest signal that goes across the threshold.
The device uses the menu items that follow:
• Level Threshold (C.1.16) to monitor the level signal
• Level Threshold (C.1.16) and Interface Threshold (C.1.17) to monitor level and interface
signals
• Probe End Threshold (C.1.18) to monitor the probe end signal in TBF or Automatic mode. If
the device operates in TBF mode or must calculate the ε
probe end signal.
The electronics of the device amplify the signal. The amplification factor (level of Gain) depends
on the strength of the signal. There are 7 levels (1 to 7). A strong signal is given Gain 1, while a
weak signal is given Gain 7. When you fill or empty the tank, the device usually identifies the
signal. It automatically changes the Gain to monitor the position of the signal.
of the product, there must be a good
r
But the device cannot monitor the correct signal if:
• There are too many objects in the tank.
• There is an object that makes a large reflection in the tank.

5 The level threshold is correct. The device ignores the parasitic signal and measures level correctly.
6 The level threshold is too low. The device can use the parasitic signal as the level signal.
If the parasitic signal is smaller than the correct level, you can manually change the threshold to
find the signal.
This procedure tells you how to change the level threshold to find the correct signal:
• Look at the signal screen in operator mode.

Interface threshold
INFORMATION!
If the device is set at the factory to measure interface, you can change the interface threshold.
When the device is set to measure interface, the device uses a second threshold to
identify and measure the interface between 2 liquids. The interface threshold
identifies:
• The level signal (the first signal that goes across the level threshold).
• If there are 2 liquids in the tank, the interface signal (the next largest signal). If there are
more than 2 liquids in the tank, the next signal after the level signal.
This device uses this data to monitor the interface signal. When you change the interface
threshold, refer to How to use thresholds

But you can filter a parasite or an area of parasites with the snapshot function. This procedure
tells you how to use the snapshot filter:
• Look at the signal screen in operator mode.
i Find the likely position of the parasite.
• Look in the tank or at a drawing of internal tank parts.
i Get the dimensions and position of the object that shows as the parasite.
• Empty the tank.
• Go to Supervisor > Quick Setup > Setup Mode > Snapshot

• Do the procedure.
• Save the settings.
• Make sure that the snapshot filter is on.
• Fill the tank.

rod or cable probe, it is not necessary to have a minimum distance between the probe end and
the tank bottom.
• There must be no objects in a diameter of 600 mm / 24¨ around a single probe. There must be
no objects in a diameter of 200 mm / 8¨ around a double probe. It is not necessary to have an
empty space around a coaxial probe.
