![6.4Setup procedureInHART-Multidrop mode (several sensors on one input)theaddress must be set before continuing with the parameteradjustment.You will find a detailed description in the operatinginstructions manual of PLICSCOM or in the online help ofPACTware™or DTM.HART modeStandardAddress 0AsVEGAPULS 62 is a distance measuring instrument,thedistance from the sensor to the product surface is measured.To have the real product level displayed,an allocation of themeasured distance to the percentage height must be made.Tocarry out this adjustment,the distance is entered with full andempty vessel.If these values are not known,an adjustmentwith the distance values,e.g.10 %and 90 %is also possible.Starting point for this distance specifications is always the sealsurface of the thread or flange.With these settings the reallevel is calculated.Furthermore the operating range of thesensor is limited from maximum to the required range.The real product level during this adjustment is not important,because the min./max.adjustment is always carried outwithout changing the product level.These settings can bemade ahead of time without the instrument having to beinstalled.In the main menu item "Basic adjustment",the individualsubmenu items should be selected one after the other andprovided with the correct parameter values.Start your parameter adjustment with the following menu itemsof the basic adjustment:Proceed as follows:1Move from the measured value display to the main menuby pushing [OK].▶Basic adjustmentDisplayDiagnosticsServiceInfoAddress setting HART-Multi-dropParameter adjustmentCarrying out min.adjustmentSetup with the indicating and adjustment module PLICSCOMVEGAPULS 62 -4... 20 mA/HART 3728435-EN-060317](https://usermanual.wiki/VEGA-Grieshaber-KG/PULS616263/User-Guide-638549-Page-37.png)

To adapt the sensor to these differentconditions,you should first select in this menu item "Liquid"or"Solid".Setup with the indicating and adjustment module PLICSCOM38 VEGAPULS 62 -4... 20 mA/HART28435-EN-060317](https://usermanual.wiki/VEGA-Grieshaber-KG/PULS616263/User-Guide-638549-Page-38.png)
![MediumLiquidAccording to the conductivity and the dielectric value of liquids,the reflection properties can differ considerably.Thereforeadditional options such as "Solvent","Chem.mixture"and"Water based"are offered below the menu item Liquid.With solids,you can choose between "Powder/Dust","Gran-ular/Pellets"or "Ballast/Pebbels".Through this additional selection,the sensor is adaptedperfectly to the product and measurement reliability,partic-ularly in products with bad reflective properties,is considerablyincreased.Enter the requested parameter via the appropriate keys,saveyour settings and jump to the next menu item with the [->]key.Apart from the medium,the vessel shape can also influencethe measurement.To adapt the sensor to the measuringconditions,this menu item offers different options dependingon whether liquid or solid.With "Liquid"these are "Storagetank","Stilling tube","Open vessel"or "Stirred vessel",with"Solid","Silo"or "Bunker".Vessel formStorage tankInformation:With VEGAPULS 62 with electronics version "Increasedsafety","Solid"is preset as factory setting.However,theinstrument should be used preferably in liquids.In such cases,the vessel form should be set to "Storage tank"during setup.Enter the requested parameter via the appropriate keys,saveyour settings and jump to the next menu item with the [->]key.To suppress fluctuation in the measured value display,e.g.caused by a turbulent product surface,an integration time canbe set.This time can be between 0and 999 seconds.Pleasenote that the reaction time of the entire measurement will belonger and the sensor will react to quick changes of theVessel formDampingSetup with the indicating and adjustment module PLICSCOMVEGAPULS 62 -4... 20 mA/HART 3928435-EN-060317](https://usermanual.wiki/VEGA-Grieshaber-KG/PULS616263/User-Guide-638549-Page-39.png)
