The Surface Echo Tracking function can be used to eliminate problems with
certain types of ghost echoes below the product surface. This may, for
example, occur in still-pipes as a result of multiple reflections between the
pipe wall, flange and antenna. In the tank spectrum these echoes appear as
amplitude peaks at various distances below the product surface.
To activate this function, ensure that there are no disturbing echoes above the
product surface and select the Always Track First Echo check box.
To open the Surface Echo Tracking window:
1. In the TankMaster WinSetup workspace, click the right mouse button on
the desired 5900S Radar Level Gauge icon.
2. Choose the Properties option from the popup menu.
3. In the RLG Properties window, select the Advanced Configuration tab.
4. Click the Surface Echo Tracking button:
Echo Time Out
Use Echo Time Out to define the delay time until the gauge will start
searching for a surface echo after it has been lost. Until this period of time has
elapsed, the gauge will not start searching or trigger any alarms.
