Soliwave FDR16/FQR16 Operation options On-site operation 0000000011 23 On-site operation Operation via operating magnet → 29 To operate, place the operating magnet (north pole visible as shown) on the marked areas of the FDR16. The operating magnet is included in the scope of delivery of the FDR16. It can be optionally cancelled or ordered as an accessory.
Operation options Soliwave FDR16/FQR16 7.4.3 Set process window • If the point level cannot be reliably detected after an automatic adjustment because the medium to be detected does not dampen sufficiently, the process window must reduced step by step. • An enlargement of the process window is also possible. This is useful if, for example, material is conveyed through the detection range of the microwave barrier due to the process, which leads to attenuation of the microwave.
Soliwave FDR16/FQR16 Commissioning 7.4.5 Reset to factory settings In case of unknown settings or use in a new application, it is recommended to reset the FDR16 to its factory settings beforehand. Factory settings: • Process window 50 % • Switching delay off Perform factory reset Operating magnet on "Auto Span"...
