The distance refers to the sensor reference plane (seal surface of the process fitting). Keep in mind that the max. level must lie below the blocking distance. Min. adjustment In this menu item, you can enter the min. adjustment for the level. Enter the suitable distance value in m for the empty vessel (e.g. distance from the flange to the probe end) corresponding to the per- centage value. The distance refers tot he sensor reference plane (seal surface of the process fitting).
