The images in column "Error pattern" show the real level with a bro-
ken line and the level displayed by the sensor as a continuous line.

Notes:
•
Wherever the sensor displays a constant value, the reason could
also be the fault setting of the current output to "Hold value"
•
In case of a too low level indication, the reason could be a line
resistance that is too high
Measurement error with constant level

1. Measured value
shows a too low or too
high level

– Min./max. adjustment not
correct
– Adapt min./max. adjustment
– Wrong linearization curve – Adapt linearization curve
2. Measured value
jumps towards 100 % Level
time 0
– Due to the process, the ampli-
tude of the product echo sinks
– A false signal suppression was
not carried out
– Carry out a false signal sup-
pression
– Amplitude or position of a
false echo has changed (e.g.
condensation, buildup); false
signal suppression no longer
matches
– Determine the reason for the
changed false echoes, carry
out false signal suppression,
e.g. with condensation
