The free openings for the cable glands are therefore covered with red dust protective caps as transport protection.Prior to setup you have to replace these protective caps with ap-proved cable glands or close the openings with suitable blind plugs.The mounting position and orientation of the sensor must be in con-formance with the restrictions set forth in Chapter "For your Safety", "RadiolicenseforUSA" "Radio license for Canada" of this operating instruction.4.2 Mounting versions, plastic horn antennaThe optional mounting strap allows simple mounting of the instru-ment on a wall, ceiling or boom.

If nec-essary, clean the antenna system in certain intervals.9.2 Measured value and event memoryThe instrument has several memories which are available for diagno-sis purposes. The data remain even with voltage interruption.Up to 100,000 measured values can be stored in the sensor in a ring memory. Each entry contains date/time as well as the respective measured value. Storable values are for example:• Distance• Filling height• Percentage value• Lin. percent• Scaled• Current value• Meas. reliability• Electronics temperatureWhen the instrument is shipped, the measured value memory is active and stores distance, measurement certainty and electronics temperature every 3 minutes.The requested values and recording conditions are set via a PC with PACTware/DTM or the control system with EDD. Data are thus read out and also reset.Up to 500 events are automatically stored with a time stamp in the sensor (non-deletable). Each entry contains date/time, event type, event description and value. Event types are for example:• Modicationofaparameter• Switch-onandswitch-otimes• Status messages (according to NE 107)• Error messages (according to NE 107)The data are read out via a PC with PACTware/DTM or the control system with EDD.The echo curves are stored with date and time and the corresponding echo data.

The electron-icsmodulesareadaptedtotherespectivesensoranddierinsignaloutput or voltage supply.The new electronics module must be loaded with the default settings of the sensor. These are the options:• In the factory• Or on site by the userIn both cases, the serial number of the sensor is needed. The serial numbers are stated on the type label of the instrument, on the inside of the housing as well as on the delivery note.Whenloadingonsite,rstofalltheorderdatamustbedownloadedfrom the Internet (see operating instructions manual "Electronicsmodule").Caution:Alluser-specicsettingsmustbeenteredagain.Hence,youhavetocarry out a new setup after the electronics exchange.Reaction after fault recti-cation24 hour service hotline
