MONITOR RadarRight

Normally when electronic constant is smaller than 1.4, the direct echofromthe mediiim is
low and hard to detect. However by measuring the echo reflected from the base of the vessel,
the height of the médium can be measured. Two parameters are needed to be entered here.
1. Height of empty vessel. 2. True médium height or médium electronic constant, these two
parameters are related, entering either one is accepted. The precisión of parameters will affect
the precisión of the measurement.
Notes: it should be taking cautions while applying the function, Micro DK. When applying
this function the system will decide whether use direct echo or echo from the base to take
the measurement.

Three types ofsimulations

Percent: the output current is decided by a percent valué: 100% is relative to 20mA,
0%is relative to 4mA.
Current: the output current is regulated by a current valué.
Distance: the output current is decided by a distance valué. The current output depends
onMin. adjustment (see 1.1), Max adjustment (see 1.2) and Mapping (see 1.5)

4. 1 False echo High sockets or vessel installations, e.g. struts or agitators as well as buildup
and weld joints on the vessel walls cause interfering reflections which can impair the
measurement. A false echo storage detects and marks these false echoes, so that they
are no longer taken into account for the level measurement. A false echo memory
should be created with empty vessel so that all potential interfering reflections will
be detected.
