6.1 Simulation
To simulate a certain filling level, you can call
up the function “Simulation” in the adjustment
module MINICOM, in the adjustment software
PACT
ware TM or in the HART ® handheld.
You simulate a vessel filling and thereby a
certain sensor current. Please note that con-
nected instruments, such as e.g. a PLC,
react according to their adjustments and will
probably activate alarms or system func-
tions. One hour after the last simulation ad-
justment, the sensor returns automatically to
standard operating mode.
6.2 Error codes
Display Meaning Rectifying measure
E013 No valid measured value Message is displayed during warm-up phase
- Sensor in the warm-up
phase
- Loss of the useful echo
If the message remains, a false echo storage
must be carried out with the adjustment module
MINICOM in the menu “sensor optimisation” or
better, with the PC and VVO.
If the message still remains, carry out a new
adjustment.
E017 Adjustment span too small Carry out a readjustment.
Make sure that the difference between
min. and max. adjustment is at least 10 mm.
E036 Sensor software does not - Sensor must be programmed with new
run software (service)
- Message appears during a software update.
E040 Hardware failure/Electronics Check all connection cables.
