The level unit may differ from the distance unit defined in the Distance unit parameter
(→  126):
• The unit defined in the Distance unit parameter is used for the basic calibration (Empty
calibration (→  128) and Full calibration (→  128)).
• The unit defined in the Level unit parameter is used to display the (unlinearized) level
and interface position.
 Setup → Advanced setup → Interface → Blocking dist.
Specify upper blocking distance UB.
0 to 200 m
• For coax probes: 100 mm (3.9 in)
• For rod and rope probes up to 8 m (26 ft): 200 mm (8 in)
• For rod and rope probes above 8 m (26 ft): 0.025 * length of probe
Echoes from within the blocking distance are not taken into account in the signal
evaluation. The upper blocking distance is used
• to suppress interference echoes at the top end of the probe.
• to suppress the echo of the total level in the case of flooded bypasses.
