Should rarely need to adjust the filter setting by editing 2 RPL81 sensor programming parameters: - FILTER; this parameter is present in the Quick Setup menu and in the Advanced Configuration “SETUP” menu; increasing the parameter value, decreases the sensor sensitivity to the level measurement sudden variations. - F-WINDOW; this parameter is present in the Advanced Configuration “SERVICE” menu; decreasing the parameter programmed value, increases the sensor immunity to false echoes.

Unscrewing the cap (“1” vers.), the VL620 module can be connected or disconnected. For “2” version connect the VL621 module directly to the unit. The VL620/VL621 module are equipped with matrix LCD. N:B: When the VL620/VL621 is connected the communication via MODBUS is inhibited.
