  • 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: Notes On Integrated Overflow Prevention

    The medium to be detected is set manually [MEdI]. In addition, an integrated, independently functioning overflow prevention is available. 2. Manual media selection without overflow prevention Medium operational reliability! The medium to be detected is set manually as described under 1. However, the overflow prevention is deactivated.
  • Page 10: Display And Switching Functions

    • Typically the overflow prevention OP reacts when the selected measuring segment has been reached (a few mm before the set OP value). • The overflow prevention OP reacts immediately and without delay. The set delay times (e.g. of a switch point directly below) have no effect on the overflow prevention OP.

    In case of automatic medium detection [MEdI] = [Auto] or deactivated overflow prevention [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 must not be completely covered by the medium.
