VEGA VEGAPULS 61 (≥ 2.0.0 - ≤ 3.8) Profibus PA - Manual (Page 40)

Information:
With VEGAPULS 61 with electronics version "Increased safety",
"
Solid" is preset as factory setting. However, the instrument should be
used preferably in liquids. In such cases, the medium selection should
be set to "Liquid" during setup.
According to the conductivity and the dielectric value of liquids, the
reflection properties can differ considerably. Therefore additional
options such as "Solvent", "Chem. mixture" and "Water based" are
offered below the menu item Liquid.
With solids, you can also choose between "Powder/Dust", "Granular/
Pellets" or "Ballast/Pebbels".
Through this additional selection, the sensor is adapted perfectly to the
product and measurement reliability, particularly in products with bad
reflective properties, is considerably increased.
Enter the requested parameters via the appropriate keys, save your
settings and jump to the next menu item with the [->] key.
Apart from the medium, the vessel shape can also influence the
measurement. To adapt the sensor to these measuring conditions, this
menu item offers different options depending on whether liquid or bulk
solid is selected. With "Liquids" these are "Storage tank", "Stilling
tube", "Open vessel" or "Stirred vessel", with "Solid", "Silo" or
"
Bunker".

A linearization is necessary for all vessels in which the vessel volume
does not increase linearly with the level - e.g. with a horizontal
cylindrical or spherical tank - and the indication or output of the volume
is required. Corresponding linearization curves are preprogrammed for
these vessels. They represent the correlation between the level
