10.5 Treatment of measurement errors
Measured value jumps to
≥ 100 % or 0 m distance
Measured value remains
unchanged in the close
range during emptying
Measured value jumps
sporadically towards
100 % during emptying
Measured value shows a
too low or too high level
44
Fault description
Level echo is no longer detected
in the close range due to foam
generation or false signals in the
close range. The transmitter goes
into overfill protection mode. The
max. level (0 m distance) as well
as the status message ""Overfill
protection" are output.
Fault description
False signal larger than the level
echo
Level echo too small
Varying condensation or
contamination on the antenna
Fault description
Min./max. adjustment not correct
Incorrect linearization curve
Cause
condensation/contamination in the
close range by editing
Check measuring point: Antenna
should protrude out of the threaded
mounting nozzle, possible false
echoes through flange nozzle?
Remove contamination on the
antenna
Cause
Check measuring point: Antenna

In case of interferences due to
installations in the close range:
Change polarisation direction
After eliminating the false signals,
the auto false echo suppression
must be deleted. Carry out a new
auto false echo suppression
Carry out auto false echo
suppression or increase auto false
echo suppression in the close range
by editing

Adapt min./max. adjustment
Adapt linearization curve
