A.2.7 Measurement Range
Near Range (2.8.1.)
Near Range programs SITRANS LR250 to ignore the zone in front of the antenna. The default
blanking distance is 50 mm (1.97") from the end of the antenna.
Near Range allows you to increase the blanking value from its factory default. But Auto False
Echo Suppression (2.8.7.1.) is generally recommended in preference to extending the blanking
distance from factory values.
Far Range (2.8.2.)
Far Range can be used in applications where the base of the vessel is conical or parabolic. A
reliable echo may be available below the vessel empty distance, due to an indirect reflection
path.
Increasing Far Range to 30% or 40% can provide stable empty vessel readings.
A.2.8 Measurement Response
Note
Units are defined in Units (2.2.1.) and are in meters by default.
Response Rate (2.4.1.) limits the maximum rate at which the display and output respond to
changes in the measurement. There are three preset options: slow, medium, and fast.
