A.4 Measurement Range
A.4.1 Near Range
Near Range programs (2.2.1.12) (Page 81) SITRANS LR260 to ignore the zone in front of the
antenna. The default blanking distance is 50 mm (1.97 inch) from end of horn antenna.
Near Range allows you to increase the blanking value from its factory default. Auto False Echo
Suppression (2.2.5.2) (Page 87) is generally recommended in preference to extending the
blanking distance from factory values.
A.4.2 Far Range
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 the
range extension to 30% or 40% can provide stable empty vessel readings.
Note
On 30 m vessel, range extension cannot exceed 31.5 m.
A.5 Measurement Response
The measurement response (response rate) limits the maximum rate at which the display and
output respond to changes in the measurement. Once the real process fill/empty rate (m/s) is
established, a response rate can be selected that is slightly higher than the application rate. The
response rate automatically adjusts the filters that affect the output response rate.
There are three preset options: slow, medium, and fast.
