Specify additional process conditions (if required).
• None
• Oil/Water condensate
• Probe near tank bottom
• Build up
• Foam (>5cm/0,16ft)
None
Meaning of the options
• Oil/Water condensate (only Medium type = Liquid)
Makes sure that in the case of two-phase media only the total level is detected (example:
oil/condensate application).
• Probe near tank bottom (only for Medium type = Liquid)
Improves the empty detection, especially if the probe is mounted close to the tank
bottom.
• Build up
Increases EOP range upper area in order to ensure a safe empty-detection even if the
end-of-probe signal has shifted due to build-up.
Enables a safe empty-detection even if the end-of-probe signal has shifted due to build-
up.
• Foam (>5cm/0,16ft) (only for Medium type = Liquid)
Optimizes the signal evaluation in applications with foam formation.
