• MAXECHOS
Maximum number of
echoes to be processed.
• Meas. To measure or a
measurement.
• Measurement
Any parameter which the
gauge is programmed to
measure or display. For
example, level, distance,
or volume.
• Measurement #1
The primary
measurement, either
distance or level.
• Measurement display
Shows the current values
of distance or level, signal
strength, and other
measurements that have
been set up.
• Measurement head
The sensor.
• Measurement head
geometry
Whether the sensor is an
isolation mounting or
intrusive mounting type.
• NEC National Electric
Code
• Outage Distance from
top of tank to material
surface.
• Password Provides
security.
• PC Personal
computer.
• PF Preference factor.
• Predefined shapes
The gauge can calculate
the volume of the
following shapes: vertical
cylinder, vertical
rectangle, vertical cone,
horizontal cylinder with
flat ends, horizontal
cylinder with domed ends,
sphere, sloped bottom
cylinder, and parabola.
• Primary measurement
Either distance or level.
Also referred to as
measurement 1. Limited
to level or distance. See
“Set up level, ...” menu.
• Process alarm
High and low alarms. Set
point (trigger point) and
clear point are entered on
the “Set up Level” menu.
• Process material
Material, usually liquid,
whose level is being
measured.
• Program In this manual,
means using the menus to
define the measurements
and alarms.
• Radar Detects distant
objects by means of radio
waves reflected from an
object; the term is derived
from the original term
radio detection and
ranging.
• Radar fine tuning
This menu is used
customize set up for
challenging applications.
Here you can enter a
specific dielectric constant
(standard level setup only
requires that you specify
water or non-water based
liquid material). Clutter
distance, auto clutter
update time, agitator
reject time, etc. are also
on this menu.
• Readouts
Measured
parameters which have
been set up to display on
the gauge screen.
• REF LINE
Reference line
that is cast in the antenna
housing.
• Reflected wave
The portion of the
microwave reflected from
