Repeatability ± 2 mm or 0.08 “
Hysteresis none
Resolution ± 1 mm or 0.04 “
Transient recovery time The transient recovery time to 1% deviation from the final value
amounts to approx. 4.6 times the programmed time constant.
However, the transient recovery time may differ if changes in
level are very rapid.
Start-up time ≤ 23 seconds
Long term drift The long term drift is within the specified error of measurement.
Allow for the thermal expansion coefficient in the case of liquids
(organic liquids: ~0.15%/K)
Influence of ambient temperature
current output HART
®
: typically 70 ppm/K
measured value Approx.25 ppm (max. deviation over whole measurement range).
atmosphere -1 ppm/K (above the liquid product).
digital No influence on measured value due to regular self-calibration.
