3 Product description
Functional principle
The antenna of the radar sensor emits short radar pulses with a
durationofapprox.1ns.Thesepulsesarereflectedbytheproduct
and received by the antenna as echoes. The transit 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.
Voltage supply
The instrument is powered via an integrated accumulator. This allows
operation of the instrument independently of the mains or a control
system. To achieve a longer battery lifetime, the instrument is preset
to HART multidrop. This puts a load of only 4 mA current on the accumulator.
Packaging
Your instrument was protected by packaging during transport. Its
capacity to handle normal loads during transport is assured by a test
based on ISO 4180.
3.3
Packaging, transport and storage
The packaging of standard instruments consists of environmentfriendly, recyclable cardboard. For special versions, PE foam or PE
foil is also used. Dispose of the packaging material via specialised
recycling companies.
Transport
Transport must be carried out in due consideration of the notes on the
transport packaging. Nonobservance of these instructions can cause
damage to the device.
Transport inspection
The delivery must be checked for completeness and possible transit
damage immediately at receipt. Ascertained transit damage or concealed defects must be appropriately dealt with.
Storage
Up to the time of installation, the packages must be left closed and
stored according to the orientation and storage markings on the
outside.
Unless otherwise indicated, the packages must be stored only under
the following conditions:

Installation position
When mounting the sensor, keep a distance of at least 200 mm
(7.874 in) from the vessel wall. If the sensor is installed in the center
of dished or round vessel tops, multiple echoes can arise. However,
these can be suppressed by an appropriate adjustment (see chapter
"Setup").
If you cannot maintain this distance, you should carry out a false
signal storage during setup. This applies particularly if buildup on the
vessel wall is expected. In such cases, we recommend repeating the
false signal storage at a later date with existing buildup.
> 200 mm
(7.87")
Fig. 5: Mounting of the radar sensor on round vessel tops
40793-EN-140922
In vessels with conical bottom it can be advantageous to mount the
sensor in the center of the vessel, as measurement is then possible
down to the lowest point of the vessel bottom.

Tip:
The instrument is also optionally available with an antenna extension.
The antenna length can be selected (either ex works or later) to allow
the antenna to protrude slightly out of the end of the mounting socket.
Duetotheantennaextensionhowever,disturbingreflectionsare
generated in the close-up range. This can lead to an increase in the
requiredminimumdistance,especiallywithpoorlyreflectingmedia
such as plastic powder. In practice, a cleanly constructed mounting
socket, if necessary with rounded edges, introduces fewer disturbing
influencesthananantennaextension.
Sensor orientation
In liquids, direct the sensor as perpendicular as possible to the product surface to achieve optimum measurement results.

Vessel installations
The mounting location of the radar sensor should be a place where no
otherequipmentorfixturescrossthepathofthemicrowavesignals.
Vessel installations, such as e.g. ladders, limit switches, heating spirals, struts, etc., can cause false echoes and impair the useful echo.
Make sure when planning your measuring point that the radar sensor
has a "clear view" to the measured product.
In case of existing vessel installations, a false echo storage should be
carried out during setup.
If large vessel installations such as struts or supports cause false
echoes, these can be attenuated through supplementary measures.

Agitators
If there are agitators in the vessel, a false signal suppression should
be carried out with the agitators in motion. This ensures that the

the quality of the measurement.
The "False signal suppression" displays the saved false echoes (see

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
reflectionscanbedetected.

5. All interfering signals in this section are detected by the sensor
andstoredafterconfirmingwith[OK].
6 Set up with the display and adjustment module
Note:
Check the distance to the product surface, because if an incorrect
(too large) value is entered, the existing level will be saved as a false
signal. The level would then no longer be detectable in this area.
If a false signal suppression has already been saved in the sensor,
the following menu window appears when selecting "False signal
suppression":
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.
Additional adjustments Linearization curve
A linearisation is necessary for all vessels in which the vessel volume
doesnotincreaselinearlywiththelevel-e.g.ahorizontalcylindrical or spherical tank - and the indication or output of the volume is
required. Corresponding linearisation curves are preprogrammed
for these vessels. They represent the correlation between the level
percentage and vessel volume.
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".
Enter the requested parameters via the appropriate keys, save your
settings and jump to the next menu item with the [ESC] and [->] key.

Saving the parameter adjustment data
We recommended noting the adjusted data, e.g. in this operating
instructions manual, and archiving them afterwards. They are thus
available for multiple use or service purposes.
If the instrument is equipped with a display and adjustment module,
the data in the sensor can be saved in the display and adjustment
module. The procedure is described in the operating instructions
manual "Display and adjustment module" in the menu item "Copy
sensor data". The data remain there permanently even if the sensor
power supply fails.
The following data or settings for adjustment of the display and adjustment module are saved:
•
•
•
All data of the menu "Setup" and "Display"
In the menu "Additional adjustments" the items "Sensor-specific
units, temperature unit and linearization"

The function can also be used to transfer settings from one instrument to another instrument of the same type. If it is necessary to
exchange a sensor, the display and adjustment module is inserted
into the replacement instrument and the data are likewise written into
the sensor via the menu item "Copy sensor data".

Measured value and event memory
If the device is used correctly, no maintenance is required in normal
operation.
The instrument has several memories which are available for diagnosis purposes. The data remain even with voltage interruption.
Measured value memory
Up to 100,000 measured values can be stored in the sensor in a ring
memory. Each entry contains date/time as well as the respective
measured value. Storable values are for example:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Distance
Filling height
Percentage value
Lin. percent
Scaled
Current value
Meas. reliability
Electronics temperature
When the instrument is shipped, the measured value memory is
active and stores distance, measurement reliability and electronics
temperature every 3 minutes.
The requested values and recording conditions are set via a PC with
PACTware/DTM or the control system with EDD. Data are thus read
out and also reset.
Event memory
Up to 500 events are automatically stored with a time stamp in the
sensor (non-deletable). Each entry contains date/time, event type,
event description and value. Event types are for example:
•
•
•
•
Modificationofaparameter
Switch-onandswitch-offtimes
Status messages (according to NE 107)
Error messages (according to NE 107)
The data are read out via a PC with PACTware/DTM or the control
system with EDD.

10.1 Dismounting steps
Warning:
Before dismounting, be aware of dangerous process conditions such
as e.g. pressure in the vessel or pipeline, high temperatures, corrosive or toxic products etc.
Take note of chapters "Mounting" and "Connecting to power supply"
and carry out the listed steps in reverse order.
10.2 Disposal
The instrument consists of materials which can be recycled by specialised recycling companies. We use recyclable materials and have
designed the electronics to be easily separable.
Materials: see chapter "Technicaldata"
For disposal or recycling within the European Union proceed according to the "Electronicsrecycling" and "Battery/Accumulator recycling"
below. Outside the European Union you should take note of the valid
national regulations.
Electronics recycling
This instrument is not subject to the WEEE directive 2002/96/EG and
the respective national laws. Therefore pass the instrument directly
on to a specialised recycling company and do not use the municipal
collecting points. These may be used only for privately used products
according to the WEEE directive.
Battery/accumulator recycling
Note:
The disposal is subject to the directive 2006/66/EG on batteries and
accumulators.
Batteries and accumulators contain some environmentally harmful but also some valuable raw materials that can be recycled. For
that reason batteries and accumulators must not be disposed of in
household waste.
All users are legally obligated to bring batteries to a suitable collection
point, e.g. public collection points. You can also return the batteries
and accumulators to us for correct disposal. Due to the very strict
transport regulations for lithium-based batteries/accumulators, this is
normally not a good idea because shipment is very expensive.
Proceed as follows to dismount the accumulator:
Unscrew the cover of the supply room
Loosen the plug connector
Loosenthefixingscrews
Pull out the complete insert by means of the plastic strap
Correctdisposalavoidsnegativeeffectsonhumansandtheenvironment and ensures recycling of useful raw materials.
