When the adjustment is blocked, only the following adjustment func- tions are possible without entering the device code: VEGAPULS 6X • Two-wire 4 … 20 mA/HART... - Page 11 Hence the measurement reliability is increased considerably under different basic conditions. Note: Regardless of this, the min. adjustment must also be carried out (see following section). Adjustment Since the radar sensor is a distance measuring instrument, it is the distance from the sensor to the medium surface that is measured. To indicate the actual level, the measured distance must be assigned to a certain height percentage (min./max. adjustment). During adjustment, enter the respective measuring distance when the vessel is full and empty (see the following examples): VEGAPULS 6X • Two-wire 4 … 20 mA/HART...
