Beside the PC, it is also possible to adjust the
sensors with the small, detachable adjust-
ment module MINICOM in the sensor.
With the adjustment module MINICOM, only
the sensor-relevant adjustments such as e.g.
scaling of the sensor display, operating
range, meas. conditions, sensor display
scaling or false echo storage are possible.
Not possible, however, are all adjustment
steps relating to configuration, conditioning
and signal processing (configuration of the
inputs and outputs, linearisation curves,
simulation …). This is only possible with the
PC.
The adjustment module MINICOM is adjusted
with six keys. A small display shows you,
apart from the measured value, a short mes-
sage on the menu item or the entered value
of a menu adjustment.
The volume of information of the small display,
however, cannot be compared with that of the
adjustment program VVO, but with the help
of the menu schematic for MINICOM, you will
be able to quickly find your way through the
adjustment structure. In time, you might even
be able to carry out your adjustments with
the small module faster and more efficiently
than with the PC.
Error codes:
E013 No valid measured value
- Sensor in the warm-up phase
- Loss of the useful echo
E017 Adjustment span too small
E036 Sensor program not operating
- Sensor must be reprogrammed
(service)
- Fault signal also appears during
programming
E040 Hardware failure, electronics
defective
Adjustment steps
On the following pages you will find the com-
plete menu schematic of the adjustment mod-
ule MINICOM.
Set up the sensor in the numbered se-
quence:
1. Address
2. Measurement in a tube (only for measure-
ment in a standpipe)
3. Operating range
4. Adjustment
5. Conditioning
6. Meas. conditions
7. False echo storage (only required when
errors occur during operation).
8. Indication of the useful and noise level
9. Outputs
Short explanations to the setup steps 1 … 9
follow.
1. Address
Choose a free bus address with the DIP
switch (see chapter "4.2 Sensor address“).
