This function is used to enter the distance from the bottom of the flange (reference

Page 8
3DLevelScanner Basic Setup
This function is used to enter the distance from the bottom of flange (reference point
of the measurement) to the maximum level (100%).
CAUTION!
The maximum level may not project into the blocking distance (BD). If the BD is
compromised, it may cause device malfunction. After basic calibration, enter a
safety distance (SD) in the safety distance (015) function. If the level is within
this SD, the 3DLevelScanner signals an alarm, depending on your selection in the
'in safety distance' (016) function.
Page 9
3DLevelScanner Basic Setup
The distance measured from the reference point to the product surface and the level
calculated with the aid of the empty adjustment are displayed. Check whether the values
correspond to the actual level or the actual distance. The following cases can occur:
Distance correct level correct -> continue with the next function, range of
mapping (052)
Distance correct level incorrect -> Check empty calibr. (005)
Distance incorrect level incorrect -> continue with the next function, range
of mapping (052).
This function displays the suggested range of mapping. The reference point is always
the reference point of the measurement (see Function 005). This value can be edited
by the operator. For manual mapping, the default value is 0 m.
CAUTION!
The range of mapping must end 0.5 m before the echo of the actual level. For an
empty vessel, do not enter E, but E 0.5 m. If a mapping already exists, it is
overwritten up to the distance specified in range of mapping (052). Beyond this
value the existing mapping remains unchanged.

On echo loss, the instrument switches to alarm state after an adjustable delay time
(014). The output response depends on the configuration set in output on alarm
(010).
On echo loss, the instrument switches to alarm state after a definable delay time
(014). Output is held.
Page 13
3DLevelScanner Basic Setup
On echo loss, instrument switches to alarm state after a definable delay time (014).
The output is changed towards 0% or 100% depending on the slope defined in ramp
%span/min (013).

ramp %/min 01
0.000 %/min
Ramp slope which defines the output value on echo loss. This value is used if ramp
span/min is selected in outp. echo loss (012). The slope is expressed as a
percentage of the measuring range per minute.
Use this function to enter the delay time (Default = 30 s) after which an alarm is
generated on echo loss.
This distance warns you that any further level increase would make the
measurement invalid, for example, when touching the antenna area.

In this function, the maximum permitted temperature of the sensor is displayed. The
temperature unit is determined by the function temperature unit (0C6). If this
temperature is exceeded, the sensor may become damaged.
In this function, the maximum temperature ever recorded by the sensor is displayed.
The temperature unit is determined by the function temperature unit (0C6). This
function is not influenced by a reset of the parameters.

The instrument will react if the maximum permitted temperature of the sensor is
exceeded.

linear
The vessel is linear e.g. a cylindrical vertical vessel. You can measure in customer
units by entering a maximum volume/weight.
You can select the customer unit (042). Define the volume value corresponding to
the calibration in max. scale (046). This value corresponds to an output of 100%
(= 20 mA for HART).
horizontal cyl
The volume, mass etc. are calculated automatically in cylindrical horizontal vessels
by entering the diameter vessel (047), the customer unit (042) and the max. scale
(046). The max. scale (046) corresponds to an output of 100% (= 20 mA for HART).
Page 20
3DLevelScanner Basic Setup
manual
If the level is not in proportion to the volume or weight within the set measuring
range, you can enter a linearization table in order to measure in customer units. The
requirements are as follows:
The 32 (max.) value pairs for the linearization curve points are known.
The level values must be given in ascending order. The curve is monotonously
increasing.
The level heights for the first and last points on the linearization curve
correspond to empty and full calibration respectively.
The linearization takes place in the basic setup unit (distance unit (0C5)).
Each point (2) in the table is described by a value pair: level (3) and, for example,
volume (4). The last value pair defines the 100% output (= 20 mA for HART).

Influences the time an output requires to react to a sudden level jump (63% of
steady state). A high value attenuates, for example, the influences of rapid changes
on the measured variable.

A reset sets the instrument back to the factory settings. This can lead to an
impairment of the measurement. Generally, you should perform a basic setup again
following a reset.
A reset is only necessary:
if the instrument no longer functions
if the instrument must be moved from one measuring point to another
if the instrument is being de-installed /put into storage/installed
Entry (reset (0A3)):
333 = customer parameters (HART)
333 = reset customer parameters for HART
This reset is recommended whenever an instrument with an unknown 'history' is to
be used in an application:
The instrument is reset to the default values.
The customer specific tank map is not deleted.
A linearization is switched to linear although the table values are retained.
The table can be reactivated in the linearization (04) function group.
Set-up can be locked and unlocked with this function. By entering the unlock
parameter (on the display or via communication) 100 = for HART devices the
instrument is released for operation.
