Submerged is used for applications where the probe is fully submerged in liquid. In this mode, the transmitter ignores the upper product level. See “Section 7: Interface Measurements with Fully Submerged Probes” for more information.

NOTE!

Only use Submerged for applications where the interface is measured with a fully submerged probe.

Dielectric Constant/Dielectric Range

The dielectric constant of the product is used for setting the appropriate signal amplitude thresholds, see Section 7: Service and Troubleshooting for more information on amplitude threshold settings. Normally, this parameter does not need to be changed for level measurements. However, for some products, measurement performance can be optimized by setting the proper product dielectric constant.

For Interface Level measurements, the dielectric constant of the upper product is essential for calculating interface level and the upper product thickness. By default, the Upper Product Dielectric parameter is about 2.

Set the Upper Product Dielectric Constant to a value that corresponds to the current product.
