Notes:
•
Wherever the sensor displays a constant value, the reason could
also be the fault setting of the current output to "Hold value"
•
In case of a too low level indication, the reason could be a line
resistance that is too high

– Due to the process, the ampli-
tude of the product echo sinks
– A false signal suppression was
not carried out
– Carry out a false signal sup-
pression
– Amplitude or position of a
false echo has changed (e.g.
condensation, buildup); false
signal suppression no longer
matches
– Determine the reason for the
changed false echoes, carry
out false signal suppression,
e.g. with condensation
