Diagnostics

For simulation of a certain filling, you can call
up the function “Simulation” in the adjustment
module MINICOM, in the software program
VVO or in the HART

®

 handheld.

You simulate a vessel filling level and thereby
a certain sensor current. Please note that
connected instruments, such as e.g. a PLC
react according to their adjustments and will
probably activate alarms or system func-
tions. One hour after the last simulation ad-
justment, the sensor returns automatically to
standard operating mode.

E013

No  valid measured value

Message is displayed during warm-up phase

- Sensor in the warm-up phase
- Loss of the useful echo

If the message remains, a false echo storage
must be made with the adjustment module
MINICOM in the menu “sensor optimisation” or
better, with the PC and VVO.
If the message still remains, carry out a new
adjustment.
