SITRANS LR 460 first learns the echo profile.Then the learned profile, or part of it, is used to screen out false echoes.(See Auto
To use Auto False Echo Suppression via SIMATIC PDM:
a.Determine Range (the distance within which the learned TVT will replace the default TVT). Measure the actual distance from the antenna reference point to the material surface using a rope or tape measure, and make allowances for the actual location of the LR 460. Subtract 2 m (6.56 ft) from this distance, and use the resulting value.
b.Open the menu Device – Auto False Echo Suppression.
c.Enter the value for Range and click Set Range.
d.Click Learn. The On and Off buttons disappear while the new curve is being learned.
