2 Basic safety instructions
2�1 Requirements for the personnel
The personnel must fulll the following requirements to carry out the necessary tasks, e. g.,
commissioning and maintenance:
‣ Trained, qualied specialists must have a relevant qualication for the specic function and
task
‣ Are authorized by the plant owner/operator
‣ Are familiar with federal/national regulations
‣ Must have read and understood the instructions in the manual and supplementary docu-
mentation
‣ Follow instructions and comply with conditions
2�2 Designated use
Use the microwave barrier only for level detection and counting and control purposes.
Improper use can pose hazards. Ensure that the measuring device is free of defects while it is
in operation.
• Use the measuring device only for media to which the process-wetted materials have an
adequate level of resistance
• Do not exceed or drop below the limit values for the measuring device
 TI01564F
2�2�1 Incorrect use
The manufacturer is not liable for damage caused by improper or non-designated use.
Residual risks
Due to heat transfer from the process, the temperature of the electronics housing and the
assemblies contained therein may rise to 70 °C (158 °F) during operation.

Commissioning
7 Commissioning
The microwave barrier is ready for operation a maximum of 3 s aer the supply voltage is
applied.
Initial commissioning → 7.2 to 7.5
7�1 Function check
Perform post-installation and post-connection checks:
• "Post-installation check" checklist
• "Post-connection check" checklist
7�2 Parameterization
Setting options 7.3 to 7.5 only available with activated parameterization mode
Activate parameterization mode
Power supply o: Operating magnet on "Auto Span", "Process Window" or "Switch Delay"
Power supply on: Initialization → green LED (operation) ashes slowly
Remove operating magnet → parameterization mode (green LED continues to ash slowly)
• The device continues to operate normally in the background depending on the current
settings, so that, for example, exceeding the limit level leads to a changeover of the signal
output.
• 10 minutes no action → parameterization mode is terminated (device switches to normal
operation).
• The parameterization mode can also be terminated by a voltage reset.
7�3 Automatic adjustment
• Adjustment of the process-dependent detection range.
• To be performed once during commissioning with free path
Perform automatic adjustment
Operating magnet on "Auto Span" → green LED (operation) ashes fast
Remove the operating magnet within 10 seconds:
→ green LED lights up for 2 s
→ automatic adjustment successfully performed
• A warning is output if automatic adjustment cannot be performed (for example, with cov-
ered path).
• Aer an automatic adjustment, the white LED (signal strength) lights up permanently if the
signal strength is suciently high and there is a free path.
• When the path is covered, the yellow LED (sensor status) indicates the covered path, and
the white LED is o or ashing at a low frequency. If this is not the case, the process window
must then be adjusted.
