of measurement
for the level
readout (cm, inches, meters, feet).
Select the
Antenna Type
to be used
as printed on the transmitter name-
plate; first 7 digits of model number.
Select the
Antenna Extension
to
be used as printed on the antenna
nameplate; last 3 digits of model
number.
Select the type of
Antenna
Mounting
to be used.
Enter the
Sensor Offset
value; the
distance from the top (100%) point
of the vessel to the Sensor
Reference point (bottom of an NPT
thread, top of a BSP thread, face of
a flange).
Select the type of
Tank Top;
choic-
es are Flat, Horizontal cylinder,
Dome, Irregular, or Other (non-
metallic).
Enter the exact
Tank Height;
inac-
curate values will create inaccurate
level readings.
Enter the
Blocking Distance;
the
distance close to the antenna
where measurement is unreliable
due to antenna ringing.
Minimum value = antenna length +
2" (50 mm)

Enter the
Level Offset;
the distance
at the bottom of the vessel where
measurement may be unreliable
due to heating coils, irregular bot-
tom, etc.
Select the proper
Dielectric
range
for the process medium.
Select the value of
Turbulence
that
corresponds to the application.
Select the
Rate of Change
value
that corresponds to the maximum
rate the level will rise or fall.
Select the
Foam
value that corre-
sponds to the application.
Examine the list of reflections
detected by the transmitter to
ensure the actual level reflection is
present. It may be necessary to
rotate the launcher for optimum
performance.
Run the
Target Rejection
routine
by choosing the correct LEVEL
thereby cancelling all false reflections
in the vessel; ideally with tank empty.
Enter the minimum level value (0%)
for the 4 mA point.
Enter the maximum level (100%) for
the 20 mA point.
