Sensor status
This is a read-only variable. It indicates if the level detector is operating in a valid or fault
state.
The Sensor Status is dependent on the configuration of Sensor State and Operation Mode.
Sensor status logic
Table 6-2: Normal Mode
Sensor status
Valid
Valid
(1) Sensor Fault Delay does not delay the update of Sensor State when the operation mode is
Normal.
Note
If the operation mode is Normal, Sensor State cannot indicate Too Dry, Too Wet, or Zero,
and the Sensor Status always indicates a Valid state.
