3. All interfering signals in this range are detected by the sensor and stored after being confirmed with [OK]. 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. VEGAPULS 61 • 4 … 20 mA/HART - four-wire...
