36510-EN-120301
The antenna of the radar sensor emits short radar pulses with a
duration of approx. 1 ns. These pulses are reflected by the product
and received by the antenna as echoes. The running time of the radar
pulses from emission to reception is proportional to the distance and
hence to the level. The determined level is converted into an
appropriate output signal and outputted as measured value.

4 Mounting
4.1 General instructions
With instruments with threaded process fitting, suitable tools must be
applied for tightening the hexagon.
Warning:
The housing must not be used to screw the instrument in! Applying
tightening force can damage internal parts of the housing.
Use the recommended cables (see chapter "Connecting to power
supply") and tighten the cable gland.
You can give your instrument additional protection against moisture
penetration by leading the connection cable downward in front of the
cable entry. Rain and condensation water can thus drain off. This
applies mainly to outdoor mounting as well as installation in areas
where high humidity is expected (e.g. through cleaning processes) or
on cooled or heated vessels.
Make sure that all parts of the instrument exposed to the process, in
particular the active measuring component, process seal and process
fitting, are suitable for the existing process conditions. These include
above all the process pressure, process temperature as well as the
chemical properties of the medium.
You can find the specifications in chapter "Technical data" and on the
type label.
4.2 Instructions for installation
By using the standpipe version, the influence of turbulence and vessel
installations, such as e.g. heating spirals or agitators, is excluded. If
turbulence or vigorous product movement occurs in the vessel, long
standpipe antennas should be fastened to the vessel wall.
The standpipe antenna must extend all the way down to the requested
min. level, as measurement is only possible within the tube. If a good
mixing of the product is important, you should use a version with
perforated surge pipe.
Warning:
Remember that with the version with ¾" thread, a max. torque of
80 Nm (59 lbf ft) must not be exceeded.

5 Connecting to the bus system
5.1 Preparing the connection
Always keep in mind the following safety instructions:
l Connect only in the complete absence of line voltage
l If voltage surges are expected, install overvoltage arresters
The instrument requires a operating voltage of 9 … 32 V DC.
Operating voltage and the digital bus signal are carried on the same
two-wire connection cable. Power is supplied via the H1 power supply.
Connection is carried out with screened cable according to Fieldbus
specification.
Use cable with round cross-section. A cable outer diameter of 5 … 9 mm
(0.2 … 0.35 in) ensures the seal effect of the cable gland. If you are
using cable with a different diameter or cross-section, exchange the
seal or use a suitable cable gland.
Make sure that the entire installation is carried out according to the
Fieldbus specification. In particular, make sure that the bus is
terminated with suitable terminating resistors.
With plastic housing, the NPT cable gland or the Conduit steel tube
must be screwed without grease into the threaded insert.
Max. torque for all housings see chapter "Technical data"
Make sure that the cable screening and ground is executed according
to the Fielbus specification. If electromagnetic interference is expected
which is above the test values of EN 61326-1 for industrial areas, we
recommend to connect the cable screen on both ends to ground
potential.
In this case with systems with potential equalisation, connect the cable
screen directly to ground potential at the power supply unit, in the
connection box and at the sensor. The screen in the sensor must be
connected directly to the internal ground terminal. The ground terminal
outside on the housing must be connected to the potential equalisation
(low impedance).
In systems without potential equalisation with cable screening on both
sides, connect the cable screen directly to ground potential at the
power supply unit and at the sensor. In the connection box or T-
distributor, the screen of the short stub to the sensor must not be
connected to ground potential or to another cable screen. The cable
screens to the power supply unit and to the next distributor must be
connected to each other and also connected to ground potential via a
ceramic capacitor (e.g. 1 nF, 1500 V). Low-frequency potential
equalisation currents are thus suppressed, but the protective effect
against high frequency interference signals remains.

l Internal check of the electronics
l Indication of the instrument type, hardware and software version,
measurement loop name on the display or PC
l Indication of the status message "F 105 Determine measured
value" on the display or PC
l Status byte goes briefly to fault value
As soon as a plausible measured value is found, it is outputted to the
signal cable. The value corresponds to the actual level as well as the
settings already carried out, e.g. factory setting.

6.3 Parameter adjustment
Through the parameter adjustment the instrument is adapted to the
application conditions. The parameter adjustment is carried out via an
adjustment menu.
The main menu is divided into five sections with the following
functions:
Setup: Settings, e.g., for measurement loop name, medium, applica-
tion, vessel, adjustment, signal output
Display: Settings, e.g., for language, measured value display, lighting
Diagnosis: Information, e.g. on the instrument status, pointer,
reliability, simulation, echo curve
Further settings: Instrument unit, false signal suppression, linear-
isation curve, reset, date/time, reset, copy function
Info: Instrument name, hardware and software version, calibration
date, instrument features
Information:
In this operating instructions manual, the instrument-specific parameters in the menu sections "Setup", "Diagnosis" and "Additional
settings" are described. The general parameters in these menu
section are described in the operating instructions manual "Indicating
and adjustment module".
You can find in the operating instructions manual "Indicating and
adjustment module" also the description of the menu sections
"Display" and "Info".
In the main menu point "Setup", the individual submenu points should
be selected subsequently and provided with the correct parameters to
ensure the optimum adjustment of the measurement. The procedure is
described in the following.
Each medium has different reflection properties. With liquids, further
interfering factors are fluctuation product surface and foam generation.
With bulk solids, these are dust generation, material cone and
additional echoes from the vessel wall.
To adapt the sensor to these different measuring conditions, the
selection "Liquid" or "Bulk solid" should be made in this menu item.
