A.2.3 CLEF Range
CLEF Range (2.8.4.4.) is referenced from Low Calibration Point (process empty level ). When
the Hybrid algorithm is selected in Position Detect (2.8.4.2.), the CLEF algorithm will be applied
up to the limit of CLEF Range. Above this limit the Center algorithm will be applied.

A.2.4 Echo Threshold
Confidence (2.8.6.1.) describes the quality of an echo. Higher values represent higher
quality. Echo Threshold (2.8.4.3.) defines the minimum confidence value required for an echo
to be accepted as valid and evaluated.
A.2.5 Echo Lock
If the echo selected by Algorithm is within the Echo Lock window, the window is centered about
the echo, which is used to derive the measurement. In radar applications, two measurement
verification options are used with Echo Lock (2.8.5.1.):
Lock Off
SITRANS LR250 responds immediately to a new selected echo (within the restrictions set by
the Maximum Fill / Empty Rate), but measurement reliability is affected.
Material Agitator
A new measurement outside the Echo Lock Window must meet the sampling criteria before the
window will move to include it.
The other available options, Maximum Verification and Total Lock are not recommended for
radar.
