1.1.2 The operating menu
Structure of the menu
The parameters of the Prosonic S are organized in an operating menu (consisting of a main menu
and several submenus). Parameters which are related to each other are comprised in a common
parameter set. To simplify the navigation within the menu, a five-digit position code is displayed
with each parameter set.
L00-FMU90xxx-19-00-00-en-037
Identification of the parameter sets; A: submenu; B: number of the associated input or output; C: number of the parameter
set within the submenu
•Thefirst digit (A) specifies the submenu1):
–L: "level"
–A: "safety settings"
–O: "output/calculations"
–D: "device properties", "calibr. display" and "sensor management"
–I: "system information"
–S: "service" (only available if the service password has been entered)
Diagrams of the submenus can be found in the chapter "Operating menu".
•Thesecond digit (B) is used if the parameter set occurs several times within the Prosonic S (e.g.
for different inputs or outputs).
Example:
– L1002: level 1
– L2002: level 2
–...
– L9002: level 9
– LA002: level 10
If the parameter set occurs only once wihtin the Prosonic S, "X" is indicated at this position.
•Thelast three digits (C) specify the individual parameter sets within the submenu.
Locking
Locks the instrument against parameter changes.
The instrument can only be unlocked again by the keys.
Key combination Meaning

•shortcut menu
The shortcut menu is accessed via the "Info" key. It allows quick access to device information:

All parameters of the shortcut menu are contained in the main menu as well.
•main menu
The main menu is accessed via the "Menu" key. It contains all parameters of the Prosonic S. It
is divided into submenus. Some of the submenus consist of further submenus. Which submenus
are actually present, depends on the instrument version and the installation environment.
An overview of all submenus and parameters is given in the chapter "Operating menu".
•actual error
If the self-monitoring of the Prosonic S detects an error, the softkey symbol appears
above the middle key.
If the softkey symbol flashes, only "warnings" are present.
If the softkey symbol is displayed permanently, at least one "alarm" is present.
After pressing the key, a list of all currently present errors appears.

!Note!
This chapter describes the commissioning of the Prosonic S via the display and operating module.
Commissioning via ToF Tool, FieldCare or the HART handheld terminal DXR375 is similar. For
further instructions refer to the ToF Tool Operating Instructions, the FieldCare Online Help or the
Operating Instructions supplied with the DXR375.
After switching on the power supply for the first time, the instrument asks for a number of operating
parameters:
!Note!
By pressing you can return to the previous parameter (e.g. in order to correct the value).
All these parameters can also be changed at a later point of time in the "device properties/operating
parameters" and "device properties/language" parameter sets.
1. Select the display language.

Use this parameter to specify the type of the connected ultrasonic sensor.
!Note!
• For the sensors FDU9x the option "automatic" is recommended (default setting). With this setting
the Prosonic S recognizes the type of sensor automatically.
• For the sensors FDU8x the type has to be assigned explicitly. The automatic sensor recognition
does not work for these sensors.
"Caution!
After exchanging a sensor, observe the following:
The automatic sensor recognition is also active after a sensor has been exchanged3). The Prosonic S
recognizes the type of the new sensor automatically and changes the "detected" parameter if
required. The measurement continues without a break.
Nevertheless, in order to ensure perfect measurement, the following checks are required:
•Checkthe"empty calibration" and "full calibration" parameters. Adjust these values if
required. Take into account the blocking distance of the new sensor.
•Gotothe"LVL N check value" parameter set (last set of the basic setup) and check the
displayed distance. If required, perform a new interference echo suppression.
