Fasten counter nut (3) with a wrench (width across flats 36), max. torque see chapter " Technical data" Note: On the version with rinsing air connection, make sure that the holes in the antenna and in the process fitting coincide. This ensures a suf- ficient air flow (the air is led through the holes to the feed system. A rinsing of the whole parabolic antenna is not intended).

If these values are not known, an adjustment with other distances, for example, 10 % and 90 % is also possible. Starting point for these distance specifications is always the seal surface of the thread or flange. The function " Echo curve memory" makes it possible to save the Diagnostics - Echo curve memory echo curve at the time of setup. This is generally recommended, and VEGAPULS 62 • Modbus and Levelmaster protocol...
  • Page 16 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 medium 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 62 • Modbus and Levelmaster protocol...
