- Page 26 Manual WILSEN.sonic.level WS-UC*-F406-B41* Parameterization/Information with the WILSEN app Note Detailed information on the three default sound beams of your sensor can be found in the corresponding datasheet in the "Characteristic Response Curve" section. You can download the datasheet online from the product detail page for the relevant WS-UC*- F406-B41-* wireless ultrasonic sensor at www.pepperl-fuchs.com.
- Page 27 Manual WILSEN.sonic.level WS-UC*-F406-B41* Parameterization/Information with the WILSEN app Sensitivity This parameter sets the sensitivity of the ultrasonic amplifier. You may select from the following six adjustment options: • Maximum • Very High • High • Medium • • Minimum The resulting sound beam geometry, including possible influence on the dead band and detec- tion range, depends on the settings of the "Sensitivity", "Transmitting Power", and "Burst Length"...
- Page 28 Manual WILSEN.sonic.level WS-UC*-F406-B41* Parameterization/Information with the WILSEN app By reducing the transmitting power, you can shorten the dead band of the sensor. However, this automatically reduces the sensing range of the sensor significantly and the nominal range is no longer reached. The burst length is not affected by this parameter.
- Page 29 Manual WILSEN.sonic.level WS-UC*-F406-B41* Parameterization/Information with the WILSEN app Measurements per Seq. & At Intervals of These two parameters allow you to define the number of measurements that make up the mea- surement sequence and the time interval at which they are performed. Note Note that the total time required to execute the measurement sequence may consist of up to several minutes, depending on the setting selected.
- Page 30 Manual WILSEN.sonic.level WS-UC*-F406-B41* Parameterization/Information with the WILSEN app For example: • set LoRa transmission interval = six hours • additional measurements = five A measurement / measurement sequence is carried out every hour. Every six hours, the mea- sured value determined within this six hour interval and evaluated via the filter is transmitted via LoRaWAN.

- Page 36 Manual WILSEN.sonic.level WS-UC*-F406-B41* Parameterization/Information with the WILSEN app Conversely, there are also applications in which consistently very good LoRa network coverage is ensured. In such a case, it can also be advantageous to set the spreading factor to a fixed value.
- Page 37 Manual WILSEN.sonic.level WS-UC*-F406-B41* Parameterization/Information with the WILSEN app Caution! Observe the maximum permissible transmission time per device! Legal regulations in Europe allow a maximum permissible transmission time (air time / duty cycle) of 1 % per hour for the use of the 868 MHz band per device. If the "Transmission Interval" parameter is set to a value of at least 30 minutes, this requirement is fulfilled regardless of the other influencing factors.
