Auto False Echo Suppression
Notes:
• Make sure material level is below all known obstructions at the moment Auto False
Echo Suppression is used to learn the echo profile. We recommend an empty or
almost empty vessel.
• Note the distance to material level when the environment is learned, and set Auto
False Echo Suppression Range to a shorter distance to avoid the material echo being
screened out.
If you have a vessel with known obstructions, we recommend using Auto False Echo
Suppression to prevent false echo detection. This feature can also be used if the device
displays a false high level, or the reading is fluctuating between the correct level and a
false high level.
The device learns the echo profile over the whole measurement range and the TVT is shaped
around all echoes present at that moment. [See
1
instructions for a more detailed explanation.]
The learned TVT will be applied over a specified range. The default TVT is applied over the
remainder of the measurement range.
1) Make sure the material level is below all known obstructions.
2) Determine Auto False Echo Suppression Range. Measure the actual distance from
the sensor reference point to the material surface using a rope or tape measure.
Subtract 0.5 m (20") from this distance, and use the resulting value.
3) Open the menu Device – Echo Profile Utilities and click on the tab Auto False Echo
Suppression.
4) Enter the value for Auto False Echo Suppression Range and select On.
5) Click on Learn. The message appears: 'This will learn a new TVT. Once done it
cannot be undone' . Click on OK.
