Foam generation
Through the action of filling, stirring and other processes in the vessel,
compact foams that considerably damp the emitted signals may form
on the product surface.
If foams are causing measurement errors, the biggest possible radar
antennas, the electronics with increased sensitivity or low frequency
radar sensors (C band) should be used.

Voltage supply
Power supply and current signal are carried on the same two-wire
cable. The operating voltage can differ depending on the instrument
version.
The data for power supply are specified in chapter "Technical data".
Keep in mind the following additional factors that influence the operating voltage:
Connection cable
Lower output voltage of the power supply unit under nominal load
(e.g. with a sensor current of 20.5mA or 22mA in case of fault)
Influence of additional instruments in the circuit (see load values in
chapter "Technical data")
Use cable with round cross section for instruments with housing and
cable gland. To ensure the seal effect of the cable gland (IP protection
rating), find out which cable outer diameter the cable gland is suitable
for.
Use a cable gland fitting the cable diameter.
We generally recommend the use of screened cable for HART multidrop mode.
Cable gland NPT
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".
36511-EN-150625
Connection technology
5.2 Connecting
The voltage supply and signal output are connected via the springloaded terminals in the housing.
Connection procedure
Proceed as follows:
2. If a display and adjustment module is installed, remove it by turning it slightly to the left.
3. Loosen compression nut of the cable entry gland
36511-EN-150625
5. Insert the cable into the sensor through the cable entry
25
6. Insert the wire ends into the terminals according to the wiring plan
Information:
Solid cores as well as flexible cores with wire end sleeves are inserted directly into the terminal openings. In case of flexible cores without
end sleeves, press the terminal from above with a small screwdriver,
the terminal opening is then free. When the screwdriver is released,
the terminal closes again.
36511-EN-150625
You can find further information on the max. wire cross-section under
"Technical data/Electromechanical data"
9. Tighten the compression nut of the cable entry gland. The seal

Diagnosis - Measurement When non-contact level sensors are used, the measurement can be
reliability
influenced by the respective process conditions. In this menu item,
the 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 >10dB.
Diagnosis - Simulation
In this menu item you can simulate measured values via the current
output. This allows the signal path to be tested, e.g. through downstream indicating instruments or the input card of the control system.
3. With [OK] you start the simulation, first of all the actual measured
value is displayed in %

Information:
The simulation is automatically terminated 10 minutes after the last
pressing of a key.
Diagnoses - Curve indica- The "Echo curve" shows the signal strength of the echoes over the
tion
measuring range in dB. The signal strength enables an evaluation of
the quality of the measurement.
The "False signal suppression" displays the saved false echoes (see
menu "Additional settings") of the empty vessel with signal strength in
"dB" over the measuring range.
A comparison of echo curve and false signal suppression allows a
more detailed statement of the reliability.
Diagnostics - Echo curve
memory
With the function "Echo curve memory" the echo curve can be saved
at the time of setup. This is generally recommended; for using the Asset Management functions it is absolutely necessary. If possible, the
curve should be saved with a low level in the vessel.
With the adjustment software PACTware and the PC, the high resolution echo curve can be displayed and used to recognize signal
changes over the operating time. In addition, the echo curve of the
setup can be also displayed in the echo curve window and compared
with the actual echo curve.

Vessel installations such as struts
Agitators
Buildup or welded joints on vessel walls
Note:
A false signal suppression detects, marks and saves these false
signals so that they are no longer taken into account in the level
measurement.
This should be done with a low level so that all potential interfering
reflections can be detected.
Proceed as follows:
1. Select with [->] the menu item "False signal suppression" and
confirm with [OK].
36511-EN-150625
4. Confirm again with [OK] and enter the actual distance from the
sensor to the product surface.
49
Delete: An already created false signal suppression will be completely deleted. This is useful if the saved false signal suppression no
longer matches the metrological conditions in the vessel.
Extend: is used to extend an already created false signal suppression. This is useful if a false signal suppression was carried out with
a too high level and not all false signals could be detected. When
selecting "Extend", the distance to the product surface of the created
false signal suppression is displayed. This value can now be changed
and the false signal suppression can be extended to this range.
Enter the requested parameters via the appropriate keys, save your
settings and jump to the next menu item with the [ESC] and [->] key.

Depending on the reason for the fault and the measures taken, the
steps described in chapter "Setup" must be carried out again or must
be checked for plausibility and completeness.
In Ex applications, only instruments and electronics modules with appropriate Ex approval may be used.
If there is no electronics module available on site, the electronics
module can be ordered through the agency serving you. The electronics modules are adapted to the respective sensor and differ in signal
output or voltage supply.
The new electronics module must be loaded with the default settings
of the sensor. These are the options:
In the factory
Or on site by the user
In both cases, the serial number of the sensor is needed. The serial
numbers are stated on the type label of the instrument, on the inside
of the housing as well as on the delivery note.
36511-EN-150625
When loading on site, first of all the order data must be downloaded
from the Internet (see operating instructions manual "Electronics
module").
Caution:
All user-specific settings must be entered again. Hence, you have to
carry out a new setup after the electronics exchange.
If you have stored the data of the parameter adjustment during the
first setup of the sensor, you can transfer these to the replacement
electronics module. A new setup is no more necessary.
