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. Impro-
per 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.
Danger of burns from contact with surfaces!
‣If necessary, ensure protection against contact to prevent burns.

The microwave barrier is ready for operation a maximum of 3 s aer the supply voltage is
applied.

7.1 Function check
Function check
• "Post-installation check" checklist
• "Post-connection check" checklist
7.2 Activation parameterization mode
Setting options only available with activated parameterization mode (7.3 ... 7.5)
Activation 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 point level leads to a switchover 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
• Automatic 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 ashes quickly
Remove the operating magnet within 10 seconds:
→ green LED lights up for 2 s
→ automatic adjustment successfully performed
• Automatic adjustment not feasible (for example, with covered path) → warning
• After an automatic adjustment, the white LED (signal strength) lights up permanently if the
signal strength is sufficiently 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 off or flashing at a low frequency. If this is not the case, the process win-
dow must then be adjusted.

Commissioning
7.4 Set process window
• If the point level cannot be reliably detected after an automatic adjustment because the
medium to be detected does not dampen sufficiently, the process window must reduced step
by step.
• An enlargement of the process window is also possible. This is useful if, for example, ma-
terial is conveyed through the detection range of the microwave barrier due to the process,
which leads to attenuation of the microwave.
Customize process window
Operating magnet on "Process Window":
→ green LED ashes quickly
→ display (5 s) current process window
Continue to stop operating magnet → every 5 s change to next process window
Remove operating magnet → last displayed process window selected

100 % (for very good damping media)
70 % (for good damping media)
50 % (factory setting)
30 % (for smaller damping media)
15 % (for small damping media)
7.5 Set switching delay
A switching delay is helpful, for example, if the signal strength uctuates strongly, so that the
outputs only switch when the switching point is exceeded or undershot for a correspondingly
long time.
Set switching delay
Operating magnet on "Switch Delay":
→ green LED ashes quickly
