Quick start
The quick start enables a quick setup with many applications. You
can nd further information in the respective chapters of the operating
instructions manual.
1. Distance from the vessel wall > 200 mm, the antenna should
protrude > 10 mm into the vessel
> 500 mm
(19.69
")
Fig. 1: Distance of the antenna to the vessel wall/vessel ceiling
2. Note min. socket diameter depending on the socket length
For further information see chapter "Mounting".
1. Make sure that the power supply corresponds to the specica-
tions on the type label.
2. Connect the instrument according to the following illustration

3. Select in the menu item "Application" the vessel, the application
and the vessel form, for example, storage tank.
4. Carry out the adjustment in the menu items "Min. adjustment" and
"Max. adjustment".
The radar sensor measures the distance from the sensor to the
product surface. For indication of the real level, an allocation of the
measured distance to the percentage height must be carried out.

Fig. 3: Parameterization example
1 Min. level = max. meas. distance
2 Max. level = min. meas. distance
For this adjustment, the distance is entered with full and virtually
empty vessel. If these values are not known, an adjustment with
distances, for example, of 10 % and 90 % is also possible. Starting
point for these distance specications is always the seal surface of
the thread or ange.
1. In the menu "Additional settings", menu item "Damping" you have
to adjust the requested damping of the output signal.
2. Select the output characteristics in the menu item "Current out-
put".
The quick start is then nished. For further information see chapter
"Parameter adjustment".

Operational reliability is ensured only if the instrument is properly
used according to the specications in the operating instructions
manual as well as possible supplementary instructions.
2.3 Warning about incorrect use
Inappropriate or incorrect use of the instrument can give rise to
application-specic hazards, e.g. vessel overll or damage to system
components through incorrect mounting or adjustment.
2.4 General safety instructions
This is a state-of-the-art instrument complying with all prevailing
regulations and guidelines. The instrument must only be operated in a
technically awless and reliable condition. The operator is responsible

The device fullls the legal requirements of the applicable EC guide-
lines. By axing the CE marking, we conrm successful testing of the
product.
You can nd the conformity certicate in the download section of our
homepage.
Only with Ex-d-ia version
The instrument is designed for use in an industrial environment.
Nevertheless, electromagnetic interference from electrical conductors
and radiated emissions must be taken into account, as is usual with a
class A instrument according to EN 61326-1. If the instrument is used
in a dierent environment, its electromagnetic compatibility with other
devices must be ensured by suitable measures.
2.6 NAMUR recommendations
NAMUR is the automation technology user association in the process
industry in Germany. The published NAMUR recommendations are
accepted as the standard in eld instrumentation.
The device fullls the requirements of the following NAMUR recom-
mendations:
• NE 21 – Electromagnetic compatibility of equipment
• NE 43 – Signal level for malfunction information from measuring
transducers
• NE 53 – Compatibility of eld devices and indicating/adjustment
components
• NE 107 - Self-monitoring and diagnosis of eld devices
For further information see www.namur.de.
2.7 Radio license for Europe
The instrument is approved according to EN 302372-1/2 (2006-04)
for use in closed vessels.
2.8 Radio license for USA/Canada
The instrument is in conformity with part 15 of the FCC regulations.
Take note of the following two regulations:
• The instrument must not cause any interfering emissions
• The device must be insensitive to interfering immissions, including
those that may cause undesirable operating conditions
Modications not expressly approved by the manufacturer will lead to
expiry of the operating licence according to FCC/IC.
The instrument is in conformity with RSS-210 of the IC regulations.
The instrument may only be used in closed vessels made of metal,
concrete, or bre-reinforced plastic.
