Device Information
Power
Write Protection The device configuration can be write protected.
Over the Air Upgrade Wireless upgrade of radio software is possible.
HART Lock Status The state of HART write lock in the device.
Tag Identifier for the device (max 8 characters) used by host
systems. It is recommended to enter both a short and a long
tag (they may be the same).
Long Tag Identifier for the device (max 32 characters) used by host
systems. It is recommended to enter both a short and a long
tag (they may be the same).

Performance Mode

Mode
Description
Normal (Long
battery life)
Normal Performance Mode is suitable
for most applications, and gives a long
battery life.
High (Short
battery life)
High Performance Mode gives better
performance in difficult applications
(foam, turbulent surface, low dielectric
constant). Each update is based on an
increased number of measurements
(radar sweeps), which gives improved
robustness and decreases the noise in
the output value.
However, High Performance Mode
reduces battery life significantly
(40-60%).
