Page 26 IQ Radar 300 PL-611 Mounting: Rod Assembly Ideally, the standpipe should be as short as possible. If your application requires a standpipe that exceeds our recommended maximum lengths, consider using a waveguide and horn combination. If you create a new standpipe for the radar unit, ensure the weld seams are on the outside of the standpipe, not the inside. Ensure that there are no seams or lips on the inside of the standpipe or you may get erratic readings. If the mounting illustrated above is not suitable due to the minimum blanking requirements, consider this option: enclosure minimum diameter 100mm (4”) weld on outside Installation 45° Maximum length 610mm (24”) No antenna extensions required Standpipes that are 8” or larger in diameter provide excellent signal conditions. These conditions allow for standpipe lengths of up to 24” using the standard rod without any extensions. PL-611 IQ Radar 300 Page 27 Mounting: Manhole Covers A manhole cover is typically a standpipe that is 24” in diameter or greater and has a cover. To provide the optimum signal conditions, locate the antenna off-center with respect to the cover, typically 100mm (4”) from the side of the manhole. Installation 100mm (4”) Mounting: Horn Antennas Usually, horns are mounted on short standpipes. The end of the horn should protrude a minimum of 10mm (0.5”) to avoid interference with the standpipe. Page 28 IQ Radar 300 PL-611 Mounting: Waveguide Antenna This option is recommended for products with εr lower than 3. The maximum range of this application is reduced to 10m (33 feet). See P655 on page 67. vent hole minimum 80mm (3”) Installation PL-611 IQ Radar 300 Page 29 Mounting: Stillpipe or Sidepipe An alternate to the waveguide antenna, this option is also used for products with an εr less than 3 or for extremely turbulent or vortex conditions. This mounting arrangement can also be used to provide optimum signal conditions on foaming materials. Suitable pipe diameters are 2” (50mm) to 10” (250mm). A rod antenna or a horn antenna may be used. Note: The measurement range is reduced to 13m (43’) for a 50mm (2”) stillpipe or 14.5m (47’) for an 80mm (3”) stillpipe. Smoothness One continuous length of metallic pipe is preferred (no joints). If long length dictates the need for joints, then you must machine the joints to close tolerances (± 0.25mm [± 0.010”]) and weld a connecting sleeve on the outside. vent hole Installation Suitable pipe diameters are 2” (50mm) to 10” (250mm). You can use either a Rod or Horn antenna. See P655 on page 67. Ensure there is a vent at the upper end of the surge pipe to equalize pressure and keep the liquid level in the pipe constant with level in the vessel. Page 30 IQ Radar 300 PL-611 Mounting: Horn with Waveguide Extensions In applications where the standpipe is too long and the diameter is too small (such as a standpipe that is 100mm (4”) in diameter and 460mm (18”) in length), the rod antenna is not suitable due to standpipe interference. In this case, use the waveguide/horn combination. Waveguide extensions are available in custom lengths. If the horn diameter is too large for the standpipe opening, you need to insert it from inside the vessel. The horn must be connected to the IQ 300 process flange. Note: The IQ 300 maximum range of ??m is reduced by [0.64 x waveguide length]. Blanking and offset parameters are set by Milltronics. See the device tag for values. There are two common sanitary mounting options; the 2”, 3”, and 4” tri-clamp with rod antenna and the sanitary 4” horn antenna. Wetted Parts: PTFE or UHMW-PE only. PL-611 IQ Radar 300 Page 31 Installation Mounting: Sanitary Mounting Mounting: Location Keep the 20° emission cone free of obstructions. Installation 20° Due to the polarization effect of the microwave signal related to the wall of the vessel, we recommend locating the IQ 300 a minimum of 30cm (1’) away from the sidewall for every 3m (10’) of vessel height. (rod antenna and 150mm [6”] horn antenna) Polarization Effect Mounting the unit too close to a wall may cause echoes to disappear at specific levels due to wave cancellation. A strong false reflection from an internal tank obstruction can be reduced or eliminated by rotating the unit to reduce this polarization effect. False Reflections Flat obstructions and struts perpendicular to the emission cone cause large false reflections. They reflect the radar signal with high amplitude. Round profile interfering surfaces diffuse reflections of the radar signals and cause false reflections with low amplitude.

Quick Start Programming Start Up The first step in programming is to configure all parameters to their factory settings by performing a master reset through Parameter 999 (see page 80). Then set these key parameters (P001 to P007) for a Quick Start: • • • • Page 42 (P001) mode of measurement • (P002) process material • (P003) measurement response • (P004) antenna configuration IQ Radar 300 (P005) units (P006) empty distance (P007) span PL-611 Note: After these start-up parameters are configured, set Parameter P837. Numerous other program parameters can be changed subsequently, or during another programming session. Refer to the Parameter Descriptions section that starts on page 55 for a list of available parameters. When programming has been completed, the IQ Radar 300 can be put into RUN by pressing the programming button or by exiting Dolphin Plus. Start Up PL-611 IQ Radar 300 Page 43 Start Up Page 44 IQ Radar 300 PL-611 Operation The IQ Radar 300 is a level measuring device for liquids and slurries. Using advanced pulse radar technology, the device calculates material level by emitting a series of radar pulses and then analyzing their reflections. The device consists of an enclosed electronic component mounted to a flanged antenna component. The electronic component generates a 5.8 GHz (U.S.A. 6.3 GHz) radar signal that is directed to the antenna, waveguide, or horn. The radar signal is emitted axially from the antenna and propagates along this axis in a defined conical beam decreasing in strength at a rate proportional to the square of the change in distance. The radar pulse detects the interface between the dielectric constant of the atmosphere and that of the material being measured. Electro-magnetic wave propagation is not sensitive to the temperature and atmospheric conditions or to variations in the vessel. The series of echoes from the pulses transmitted are sensed by the antenna during the receive period of the electronics and are then stored as a profile of the activity in the vessel. The profile is analyzed and the distance of the material surface to the radar antenna is determined. This distance is used as a basis for display of material level and mA output. Transceiver The IQ Radar 300 transceiver operates under 1 of 5 sets of pre-set conditions (P003): parameter value measurement response P700/P701 0.1 m/min 1 m/min 10 m/min 100 m/min 1000 m/min slow fast rate update time P705 600 300 60 60 60 rate update distance P706 0.30 0.10 0.05 0.05 0.05 echo verification P711 fuzz filter P710 100 50 10 fail safe timer P070 100 10 0.1 When the echoes are received, the relevant echo extraction technique (P820 and P830) is applied to determine the true material echo. The measurement response limits the maximum rate at which the display and analog output respond to changes in measurement. Select this carefully, especially where liquid surfaces are in agitation or fall into the radar path during filling. PL-611 IQ Radar 300 Page 45 Operation Overview Operation Loss of Echo (LOE) A loss of echo occurs when the IQ 300 deems the calculated measurement unreliable, i.e. the confidence (P805) is less than the threshold (P804). Refer to Operation Troubleshooting on page 91 If the condition persists for a time beyond the limit as set by the fail-safe timer (P070), the Confidence icon changes from full to partial: to The response to LOE is set by P072. It determines whether the reading and mA output are immediately forced to the fail-safe default (P071). Upon receiving a reliable echo, the loss of echo condition is aborted (icon returns to full), and the reading and mA output return to the present level at the rate set by P072. Blanking Near blanking (P800) is set to ignore the zone in front of the antenna where false echoes can appear as an echo during the receive cycle (often created by internal impediments like a ladder rung). Usually indicated by an incorrect high level reading, false echoes can be overcome by increasing the near blanking value from its factory setting. Far-end blanking is a feature that ignores the zone below the zero or empty level where false echoes can appear at levels that interfere with the processing of the true echo. Typical Receiver Signal end of transmit P800 near blanking empty distance to antenna P006 level far-end blanking range extension (P801) as % P006 range In applications where the zero level is above the bottom of the vessel and you need to monitor the zone below the normal zero, range extension (P801) can extend the range into far-end blanking. Range extension is entered as a percentage of P006. As range extension reduces the protection afforded by the far-end blanking, it should be used judiciously because excessive range extension can reduce measurement reliability and accuracy. Range extension is factory set for 5% of P006. If false echoes appear after the blanking zone, P801 should be increased accordingly. Page 46 IQ Radar 300 PL-611 Analog Output Programming When the unit is put into PROGRAM mode, the analog output level holds its prior value if the mA output function is not common output or if HART is not the communication protocol. [please verify] Run The analog output responds in the following manner: *reference value only. mA level limited by near blanking. 0 and 100% are percentage of full scale reading (m, cm, mm, ft, in). PL-611 IQ Radar 300 Page 47 Operation The IQ Radar 300 can be programmed to provide an analog output (P200) of 0 to 20, or 4 to 20, mA, and for proportional or inverse span. Volume Operation To program the unit for volume, set: • • • operation (P001) to level 1 (see page 55) tank shape (P050) to a value other than 0 (see page 57) other volume parameters (P051 to P053) as required. To program the unit for ullage, set: • operation (P001) to space 2 (see page 55). Fail-Safe When the fail-safe timer (P070) expires, the mA output responds as follows: Fail-safe Mode (071) 1 = high 2 = low 3 = hold Status (0/4 - 20) 22 0/2 hold Status (20 - 0/4) 0/2 22 hold Run/Program When the IQ Radar 300 changes from RUN to PROGRAM, PROGRAM the unit no longer responds to the process. The last measurement is stored and the associated readings and mA output are held. The unit reverts to the parameter last addressed during the previous program session. Upon return to RUN, RUN the transceiver resumes operation. The reading and mA output default to the last measurement taken. The reading and associated outputs migrate to the current process level at a rate controlled by the measurement response (P003). If the IQ 300 is left in PROGRAM mode for 10 minutes without input, it automatically reverts to RUN mode.

These features can record up to 10 Echo profiles, initiated manually (P330), or automatically (P331). See Scope displays (P810) for echo profile viewing hardware/software requirements. If 10 Profiles are already saved, addresses 1 through 10 are filled, and the oldest automatically initiated record is overwritten. Manually initiated records are not automatically overwritten. All records are automatically deleted in the event of a power interruption. When a record is displayed, results are based on current programming (which may have been altered since the record was saved), so the effect on the echo profile can be observed when changing an echo parameter.

Values Related Parameters off maximum verification material agitator 3 total lock • P700 Maximum Fill Rate • P701 Maximum Empty Rate • P712 Echo Lock Sampling • P713 Echo Lock Window • P820 Algorithm If a material agitator (mixer) is used in the vessel monitored, set Echo Lock to 1 (maximum verification) or 2 (material agitator) to avoid agitator blade detection. To avoid stationary blade detection, ensure the agitator is always ON while the IQ 300 is monitoring the vessel. When set for 1 (maximum verification) or 2 (material agitator), a new measurement outside of the Echo Lock Window (P713) must meet the sampling criterion (P712). When Echo Lock is 0 (off) the IQ 300 responds immediately to a new measurement, as restricted by the Max Fill/Empty Rate (P700/P701). However, measurement reliability is affected. P712 Echo Lock Sampling Sets the number of consecutive echoes appearing above or below the echo currently locked onto. Sampling ratio must occur before the measurements are validated as the new reading (for Echo Lock P711 values: 1 or 2). Range: 1:1 to 99:99 Format: x:y • x = the number of above echoes • y = the number of below echoes Values Related Parameter PL-611 • P711 Echo Lock P711 value P712 pre-set value 1: max verification 2: material agitator 5:5 5:2 IQ Radar 300 Page 71 Parameters For 3 (total lock), Echo Lock Window (P713) is pre-set to 0 (zero). The IQ 300 continuously searches for the best echo according to the algorithm chosen (P820). If the selected echo is within the window, the window is then centered about the echo. If not, the window widens with each successive shot until the selected echo is within the window. The window then returns to its normal width. Example Settings: • P711 = 2: material agitator • P712 = 5:2 Results: • A new reading will not be validated unless 5 consecutive measurements higher or 2 consecutive measurements lower than the current reading occurs. Note: Resetting P711 returns P712 to the respective pre-set values. P713 Echo Lock Window Adjusts the new measurement changes permitted before the Echo Lock is applied. Values Altered by Parameters Related Parameters Range: 0.000 to 9999 Pre-set: 0.000 • P003 Maximum Process Speed • • P005 Units P711 Echo Lock The Echo Lock Window is a “distance window” (Units, P005) centered on the echo and used to derive the Reading. When a new measurement is in the window, it is recentered and the new Reading calculated. Otherwise, the new measurement is verified by Echo Lock (P711) before the reading is updated. When 0 is entered, the window is automatically calculated after each measurement. For slower values, the window is narrow; for faster P003 values, the window is wider. Communication Parameters The IQ 300 uses Modbus to establish communication parameters. To set the IQ 300 to either local programming or remote programming, go to P799. The Modbus Register Map is on. P770 Serial Protocol Sets the communications protocol used on the RS-485 port. Values Communications disabled Internal use only Modbus ASCII slave serial protocol Modbus RTU slave serial protocol P771 Protocol Address Allocates the unique identifier of the IQ 300 on the network for the RS-485 port. Values Page 72 Range: 0 to 9999 Pre-set: 1 IQ Radar 300 PL-611 For devices connected with a serial Modbus slave protocol, this parameter is a number from 1-247. The network administrator must ensure that all devices on the network have unique addresses. Do not use the value 0 (zero) for Modbus communications because this is the broadcast address and is inappropriate for a slave device. P772 Baud Rate Sets the communication rate with the master device. 4.8 9.6 Values 4800 baud 9600 baud 19.2 19,200 baud 38.4 38,400 baud This specifies the rate of communication in Kbaud. Any value may be entered, but only the values shown are supported. The baud rate should reflect the speed of the connected hardware and protocol used. P773 Parity Sets the serial port parity for the RS-485 port. No Parity (default) Odd Parity Even Parity Parameters Values Note: Ensure that the communications parameters are identical between the IQ Radar 300 and all connected devices. Data Bits and Stop Bits There are eight data bits and one stop bit. P799 Communications Control This parameter determines the read/write access to parameters via remote communications. If it has a value of 0, then the user can only read parameters. If it has a value of 1, then the user can read and write parameters. If it has a value of 2, then the user can read/write P799, but can only read other parameters. Values PL-611 Read only Read/write Restricted access – read only except for P799 which is read/write IQ Radar 300 Page 73 Note: P000 and P799 are exclusive, but locks can be implemented in different ways. • • HART lock device command sets P000 to a locked value and sets P799 to 2 The hand programmer retains control if P000 is set to UNLOCK.

Values Range: 0 to 99% Pre-set: 5% Enter value as a % of P006. The distance below empty is not blanked. For tanks with conical or parabolic bottoms, increase this parameter to ensure that an empty tank reads empty.

P830 TVT Type Selects the TVT Curve used. Values Related Parameters • reserved reserved reserved Smooth 2 (Factory Set) reserved reserved P835 TVT Slope Min Select the TVT type which gives the highest confidence (P805) under all level conditions.

Values Related Parameters • off on P832 TVT Shaper Adjust Turn the TVT Shaper ON before using P832, and afterwards turn the TVT Shaper ON and OFF while monitoring the effect to pick up the true echo. P832 TVT Shaper Adjust Allows manual adjustment of the TVT curve. Values Related Parameters Range: -50 to 50 Pre-set: 0 • P831 TVT Shaper Use this feature to bias the shape of the TVT curve to avoid crossing false echoes from fixed objects. Adjustment to this parameter is best done while viewing the echo profile with Dolphin Plus. Refer to the Dolphin Plus online help for details. The TVT curve is divided into 40 breakpoints, accessible by enabling the point number as the breakpoint index field. Each breakpoint is normalized to a value of 0, as displayed in the parameter value field. By changing the breakpoint value, up or down, the intensity of the bias applied to that breakpoint of the curve is respectively changed. By changing the value of adjacent Page 76 IQ Radar 300 PL-611 breakpoints, the effective bias to the shaper can be broadened to suit the desired correction. In the case of multiple false echoes, shaping can be applied along different points of the curve. Shaping should be applied sparingly in order to avoid missing the true echo. To change a breakpoint: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Confirm that P831, TVT shaper, is ON. Go to P832 Press twice to highlight the index value Press or to scroll through the 40 points (or type in the desired point) Enter the value from –50 to 50 Press P833 TVT Start Min Use this feature to adjust the TVT Curve height to ignore false echoes (or pick up true echoes) near the start of the Echo Profile.

Use this feature to adjust the slope declination, and use it in conjunction with TVT Start Duration (when a long flat TVT Type is selected) to ensure the TVT Curve remains above the false echoes in the middle of the Echo Profile. Alternatively, if TVT Type is set for TVT Slopes (P830 = 6), pre-set is 2000. P837 Auto Near TVT Use this feature to adjust the TVT Curve height to ignore false echoes near the start of the Echo Profile by placing the TVT above the current signal from 0m to 2m (78”). If the IQ 300 displays a full level, or if the reading fluctuates between a high level and a correct level, set this parameter to elevate the TVT in this region and to de-sensitize the receiver from any ‘base noise’ caused by internal antenna reflections and/or standpipe echoes.

Writing Parameters The method of writing parameters is similar to the method of reading them. Become familiar with Reading Parameters, page 83, before attempting to write any parameters. Communications Writing parameter values to the IQ 300: 1. Write the primary index value into R43,999. 2. Write the secondary index value into R43,998. 3. Write the desired format value into R43,997. 4. Write the value to the appropriate parameter register. Page 84 IQ Radar 300 PL-611 Communications: Data Types The IQ Radar 300 parameters do not always use integers to hold values. For the convenience of the programmer, those values are converted to and from a 16-bit integer number. This section describes the conversion process. Numeric Values Numeric parameter values are the most common. For example, parameter P920 (Reading) returns a number that represents the current reading (either level or volume, depending on the IQ-300 configuration). Numeric values are requested or set in units or percent of span, and may be specified using a number of decimal places. Numeric values must be in the range -20,000 to +20,000 to be valid. If a parameter is requested and its value is more than +20,000, the number 32,767 is returned; if it is less than -20,000, the number -32,768 is returned. If this overflow happens, decrease the number of decimal places. If a parameter cannot be expressed in terms of percent of span, or has no meaningful value, the number 22,222 is returned. Try requesting the parameter in units, or refer to the Parameter Description section on page 55 for an explanation of the format and use of the requested parameter. Split Values Certain parameters are actually a pair of numbers separated by a colon, using this format: xx:yy. xx = the average noise value in dB. yy = the peak noise in dB. The number which corresponds to xx:yy, for either reading or setting a parameter, is determined by the following formula: For storing to the device: value = (xx + 128) x 256 + (yy + 128) For reading from the device: xx = (value / 256) – 128 yy = (value % 256) – 128 Where: % is the modulus operator. The modulus can be computed by following these steps: PL-611 IQ Radar 300 Page 85 Communications One example is P807 (Transducer Noise) where: value1 = value / 256 value2 = remainder of value1 value3 = value2 x 256 yy = value3 – 128 It may simplify Parameter to notice: xx = (most significant byte of value) – 128 yy = (least significant byte of value) – 128 Text Messages Communications If a device parameter returns a text message, that message is converted to an integer and is then provided in the register. The numbers are shown in the following table: Number 22222 30000 30001 30002 30003 30004 30005 30006 30007 30008 30009 30010 30011 30012 30013 30014 30015 -32768 32767 Page 86 Text Message as displayed on LCD Invalid value Off On ≡≡≡≡ (parameter does not exist) Err Err1 Open Short Pass Fail Hold Lo Hi De En (parameter has not been set) Value is less than -20,000 Value is greater than 20,000 IQ Radar 300 PL-611 Error Handling Modbus Responses When polled by a Modbus Master, a slave device will do one of the following: 1. Not reply. Which means that something went wrong with the transmission of the message. 2. Echo back the command with the correct response (see the Modbus specification for more details). This is the normal response. 3. Return an Exception Code. This reflects an error in the message. IQ Radar 300 uses the following exception codes: Code Name Meaning 01 Illegal Function The function code received in the query is not an allowable action for the slave. 02 Illegal Data Address The data address received in the query is not an allowable address for the slave. 03 Illegal Data Value A value contained in the query data field is not an allowable value for the slave. Error Handling Errors can be traced to two general sources: Communications 5. There is an error in transmission. or 6. The host tries to do something that is not a valid action. In the first case, the IQ 300 does not respond and the master waits for a Response Time Out error, which causes the master to re-send the message. In the second case, it depends on what the host tries to do. In general, IQ 300 will not give an error to the host request. Various actions and the expected outcome are as follows: • PL-611 the host reads an invalid register, the host will get an undetermined value back. IQ Radar 300 Page 87 If the host writes an invalid register (a non-existing parameter or a read only parameter), the value will be ignored and no error response will be made. However, the current value will not reflect the desired new value. • If the host writes a read only register, then the value will be ignored and no error response will be made. However, the current value will not reflect the desired new value. • If P000 is activated, then the value will be ignored and no error response will be made. However, the current value will not reflect the desired new value. • If the host attempts to write one or more registers that are out of range, an exception response code 2 or 3 is generated depending if the start address is valid. • If the host attempts to read one or more registers that are out of range, an exception response code of 2 or 3 is generated. • If the host used an unsupported function code, an exception response code of 01 should be generated. However, this is not guaranteed and there may be no response. Communications • Page 88 IQ Radar 300 PL-611 Troubleshooting Communication Troubleshooting Generally Check the following: 1. • • • There is power at the unit The LCD shows the relevant data The device can be programmed using the hand programmer 2. Check the wiring pin outs and verify that the connection is correct. 3. Verify that values in set-up parameters P770 to P773 match the settings in the computer communicating with the unit. 4. Check that the port you are using on the computer is correct. Sometimes trying a different Modbus driver will solve the problem. An easy stand-alone driver called ModScan32 is available from Win-Tech at www.win-tech.com. We have found that this driver is useful to test communications. Specifically 1. You try to set an IQ 300 parameter via remote communications, but the parameter remains unchanged. Some parameters can only be changed when the device is not scanning. Try putting the device in program mode using the operating mode function. • Try setting the parameter from the keypad. If it can not be set using the keypad, check the lock parameter and set it to 1954. • The communications control parameter P799 must be set to 1 to be able to write parameter to the IQ 300.

Built into the IQ Radar 300 is an advanced handshaking area used to read and write single registers to the unit. This section performs function similar to the Parameter Descriptions section on page 55, with two qualifiers: 1. Advanced section is more powerful and harder to program. 2. Advanced section only gives you access to one parameter at a time. Mapping Parameter Read and Write (40,090 – 40,097) is a series of eight registers used for reading and writing parameter values to and from the IQ 300. The first three registers are always unsigned integers representing parameters and index values. The second five registers are the format and value(s) of the parameter. Address 40,090 40,091 40,092 40,093 40,094 40,095 40,096 40,097 Description Parameter (integer) Primary Index (integer) Secondary Index (integer) Format word (bit mapped) Read value, word 1 Read value, word 2 Write value, word 1 Write value, word 2 Reading Parameters Complete the following to read parameters through Modbus: 1. 2. 3. PL-611 Send the parameter, its primary index, and its secondary index (usually 0), and format to registers 40,090 to 40,093. Wait until you can read the written values from the registers (40,090 to 40,093) to confirm that the operation is complete. Read the value from registers 40,094 and 40,095. IQ Radar 300 Page 97 Appendix III All parameters normally accessed through the hand-held programmer are available through these registers. Writing Parameters Complete the following to set parameters through Modbus: 1. 2. 3. Send the parameter, its primary index, and its secondary index (usually 0) to registers 40,090, 40,091, and 40,092. Write the value to registers 40,096 and 40,097. Write the desired format word to register 40,093 to enable the IQ-300 to interpret the value correctly. Format Register Bits 1-8 9-11 12 13 14 Values 0-2 0-7 0/1 0/1 0/1 15 0/1 Description Error Code 3-bit number representing decimal offset direction of offset (0 = right, 1 = left) Numeric format: Fixed (0) or Float (1) Read or Write of data, Read (0), Write (1) Word order: Most Significant Word first (0), Least Significant Word first (1) Reserved 14 13 12 fixed format offset direction to right 11 10 09 08 07 06 05 04 03 02 01 no error code 15 decimal offset of 2 16 read Bit Numbers Bit Values most significant first For example, to format the level reading so that it is shown in percent with two decimal places shifted left, the format bits would look like this: reserved Appendix III 16 The value sent to the IQ 300 is 0000001000000000 binary or 4608 decimal. The value 4608 is sent as an integer to register 40,093 to format the output words 40,094 and 40,095 accordingly. Page 98 IQ Radar 300 PL-611 If the numeric data type is set for integer and the value contains decimal places, they are ignored. In this situation, use the decimal offset to ensure that you have an integer value and then write your code to recognise and handle the decimal offset. Error Codes The error codes returned in the format area are 8-bit integers, found in the lowest 8 bits of the format word. This allows for 256 potential error codes. There are currently two error codes available in the IQ 300. Values 2-255 Description No error Data not available as percent (available as units) Reserved Appendix III PL-611 IQ Radar 300 Page 99 Appendix III Page 100 IQ Radar 300 PL-611 Appendix IV Temperature De-rating ambient temperature in degrees Celsius at enclosure e.g. If the IQ 300 is operating in an ambient temperature of 60 °C, then the maximum process temperature allowable at the flange is 100 °C.
