Contents of the operating instructions
This operating instrucitons contain all functions off the Prosonic M operating menu. All types of devices (FMU 40/41/42/43) and
all communication variants are considered.
Information on mounting, wiring, trouble shooting and maintenance can be found in the following documents which are supplied
together with the instrument:
• BA 237F/00/en (HART)
• BA 238F/00/en (PROFIBUS-PA)
• BA 239F/00/en (Foundation Fieldbus)

You have various options for accessing the descriptions of instrument functions or how to enter
parameters.
1.1 Using the table of contents to locate a function descrip-
tion
All the functions are listed in the table of contents sorted by function group (e.g. basic setup,
safety settings, etc.). You can access a more detailed description of a function by using a page refer-
ence / link.
The table of contents is on Page 3.
1.2 Using the graphic of the function menu to locate a func-
tion description
This guides you step by step from the highest level, the function groups, to the exact function
description you require.
All the available function groups and instrument functions are listed in the table (see Page 11).
Select your required function group or function. You can access an exact description of the function
group or function by using a page reference.
1.3 Using the index of the function menu to locate a func-
tion description
To simplify navigation within the function menu, each function has a position which is shown in
the display. You can access each function via a page reference in the function menu index (see
page 87) which lists all the function names alphabetically and numerically.

1.4 General structure of the operating menu
The operating menu is made up of two levels:
•Function groups (00, 01, 03, …, 0C, 0D):
The individual operating Selection of the instrument are split up roughly into different function
groups. The function groups that are available include, e.g.: "basic setup", "safety settings",
"output", "display", etc.
•Functions (001, 002, 003, …, 0D8, 0D9):
Each function group consists of one or more functions. The functions perform the actual operation
or parameterisation of the instrument. Numerical values can be entered here and parameters can
be selected and saved. The available functions of the “basic setup (00)” function group include,
e.g.: "tank shape (002)",
"medium property (003)", "process cond. (004)", "empty calibr. (005)", etc.
If, for example, the application of the instrument is to be changed, carry out the following proce-
dure:
1. Select the “basic setup (00)” function group.
2. Select the "tank shape (002)" function (where the existing tank shape is selected).
1.4.1 Identifying the functions
For simple orientation within the function menus (see Page 11 ff.), for each function a position is
shown on the display.
The first two digits identify the function group:
The third digit numbers the individual functions within the function group:
Hereafter the position is always given in brackets (e.g. "tank shape"(002)) after the described
function.

1.5.3 Key assignment
The operating elements are located inside the housing and are accessible for operation by opening
the lid of the housing.

Symbols Meaning
ALARM_SYMBOL
This alarm symbol appears when the instrument is in an alarm state. If the symbol flashes, this indicates
a warning.
LOCK_SYMBOL
This lock symbol appears when the instrument is locked,i.e. if no input is possible.
COM_SYMBOL
This communication symbol appears when a data transmission via e.g. HART, PFOFIBUS-PA or Founda-
tion Fieldbus is in progress.
*SIMULATION_SWITCH_ENABLE
This communication symbol appears when simulation in FF is enabled via the DIP switch.

The hardware can only be unlocked via the display. An unlock parameter must
be entered to do so.

3.5 Function "empty calibr." (005)
This function is used to enter the distance from the sensor membrane (reference point of the meas-
urement) to the minimum level (=zero).
"Caution!
For dish bottoms or conical outlets, the zero point should be no lower than the point at which the
radar beam hits the bottom of the tank.
3.6 Function "blocking dist." (059)
In this function the blocking distance is displayed. Level echoes within the blocking distance can
not be detected by the Prosonic M. Make sure that the maximum level will never run into the block-
ing distance.

3.7 Function "full calibr." (006)
This function is used to enter the distance from the minimum level to the maximum level (=span).
"Caution!
The maximum level may not project into the blocking distance (BD). If the blocking distance is com-
promised, it may cause device malfunction.
After basic calibration, enter a safety distance (SD) in the "safety distance" (015) function. If the
level is within this safety distance, the Prosonic M signals a warning or an alarm, depending on your
selection in the "in safety distance" (016) function.
3.8 Display (008)
The distance measured from the sensor membrane to the product surface and the level calculated
with the aid of the empty calibration are displayed. Check whether the values correspond to the
actual level or the actual distance. The following cases can occur:
• Distance correct – level correct -> continue with the next function, "check distance"(051)
• Distance correct – level incorrect -> Check "empty calibr."(005)
• Distance incorrect – level incorrect -> continue with the next function, "check distance"(051)

3.9 Function "check distance" (051)
This function triggers the mapping of interference echoes. To do so, the measured distance must be
compared with the actual distance to the product surface. The following options are available for
selection:
Selection:
•distance=ok
• dist. too small
• dist. too big
• dist. unknown
• manual
distance = ok
• mapping is carried out up to the currently measured echo
• The range to be suppressed is suggested in the "range of mapping (052)" function
Anyway, it is wise to carry out a mapping even in this case.
dist. too small
• At the moment, an interference is being evaluated
• Therefore, a mapping is carried out including the presently measured echoes
• The range to be suppressed is suggested in the "range of mapping (052)" function
dist. too big
• This error cannot be remedied by interference echo mapping
• Check the application parameters (002), (003), (004) and "empty calibr."(005)
dist. unknown
If the actual distance is not known, no mapping can be carried out.
manual
A mapping is also possible by manual entry of the range to be suppressed. This entry is made in the
"range of mapping (052)" function.
"Caution!
The range of mapping must end 0.5 m (20") before the echo of the actual level. For an empty tank,
do not enter E, but E – 0.5 m (20").
