Error pattern
Reason
•
Min./max. adjustment not
correct
•
Incorrect linearisation curve
•
Running time error (small meas-
•
Due to the process, the
amplitude of the product echo
decreases
•
A false signal suppression was
not carried out
•
Amplitude or position of a
false signal has changed (e.g.
buildup); false signal suppres-

Error pattern
Reason
•
Echo from the probe end larger
than the product echo, for exam-
oil-based, solvents, etc.
•
Turbulence on the product

10 Diagnostics and servicing
•
Adapt min./max. adjustment
•
Adapt linearisation curve
•
Repeat setup
•
Carry out a false signal suppres-
sion
•
Determine the reason for the
changed false signals, carry out
false signal suppression, e.g.
with buildup
•
Check parameter "Medium"
and "Vessel height", adapt if
< 2.5
necessary
r
•
Check parameters, change if
necessary, e.g. in dosing vessel,
reactor
•
Carry out a false signal suppres-
sion
•
Eliminate false signals in the
close range
•
Check installation conditions
