  • Page 8: Function

    5 Function 5.1 Measuring principle The sensor determines the level according to the capacitive measuring principle: • An electrical field (E) is generated Fig. 5-1 and influenced by the medium to be detected. This change to the field causes a measurement signal that is electronically evaluated.
  • Page 9: Operating Modes

    5.2.1 Operating modes 1. Manual media selection with overflow protection (factory setting LK10xx) Recommended! Highest operational reliability! The medium to be detected is set manually [MEdI]. In addition, an integrated, independently functioning overflow protection is available. 2. Manual media selection without overflow protection Medium operational reliability! The medium to be detected is set manually as described under 1.

    even though the corresponding switch point has been exceeded (e.g. due to application-related malfunctions). • Typically the overflow protection OP reacts when the selected measuring segment has been reached (a few mm before the set OP value). • The overflow protection OP replies immediately and without delay. The set delay times (e.g.

    Fig. 5-2 Fig. 5-3 L : level HY: hysteresis FE:window 5.2.4 Offset to indicate the real level in the tank The distance between tank bottom and lower edge of the probe can be entered as offset value [OFS]. So display and switch points refer to the actual level (reference point = bottom of the tank).

    6.2.2 Installation in the active zone A of the probe A minimum distance (a2) between maximum level (b2) and mounting element has to be observed (see Fig. 6-3 and Table 6-4). ► Fix mounting elements in the mounting Fig. 6-3 zone (M).
  • Page 16: Further Notes On Installation

    In case of automatic medium detection [MEdl] = [Auto] or deactivated overflow protection [OP] = [OFF], the sensor reinitialises itself each time it is switched on and makes adjustments to the medium and the installation environment. The active zone / measuring range may not be completely covered by the medium! The indicated minimum distances ensure this.
