Refer also to the error message "Spectrum quality is bad".Level has reached the blocking distance (silo overfill) WThe level is in the blocking distance. There is a risk that the product will overflow and/or cover the device.Remove some of the product until the level is below the blocking distance.Measurement is lost in the tank bottom WThe silo is possibly empty. The device will display the silo bottom measurement. If you fill the silo, the device will measure again.The device got the last valid measurement near to the silo bottom, but it can no longer find the signal. It is possible that the device cannot find the bottom of the silo if it is installed in a silo with a dish-shaped (DIN28011 or similar) or conical bottom. The form of the silo bottom causes a delayed radar reflection and the device will display the error message "Measurement is lost in the tank bottom".

8 TECHNICAL DATA 88 OPTIWAVE 6300 Cwww.krohne.com 04/2009 - 4000547001 - HB OPTIWAVE 6300 R01 en8.1 Measuring principleA radar signal is emitted via an antenna, reflected on the product surface and received after a time t. The radar principle used is FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave).The FMCW-radar transmits a high frequency signal whose frequency increases linearly during the measurement phase (called the frequency sweep). The signal is emitted, reflected on the measuring surface and received with a time delay, t. Delay time, t=2d/c, where d is the distance to the product surface and c is the speed of light in the gas above the product. For further signal processing the difference Δf is calculated from the actual transmit frequency and the receive frequency. The difference is directly proportional to the distance. A large frequency difference corresponds to a large distance and vice versa. The frequency difference Δf is transformed via a Fourier transformation (FFT) into a frequency spectrum and then the distance is calculated from the spectrum. The level results from the difference between tank height and measuring distance.Figure 8-1: Measuring principle of FMCW radar1 Transmitter2 Mixer3 Antenna4 Distance to product surface, where change in frequency is proportional to distance5 Differential time delay, Δt6 Differential frequency, Δf7 Frequency transmitted8 Frequency received9 Frequency10 Time

Also known as εr, DK and relative permittivity. Defines the strength of the wave reflected back to the device's signal converter.Distance The distance from the face of flange to the level (1 product) or the surface of the top product (2 or more products). See the diagrams at the end of this section.Drop antenna A new generation of antenna made of PP or PTFE. It has an ellipsoidal shape for a more precise emission of radar signals.DTM Device Type Manager. A driver for use in the PACTware™ program. All data and functions of the device are included in it.Electromagnetic compatibility Defines how much a device influences or is influenced by other devices that generate electromagnetic fields during operation. Refer to European standard EN 61326-1 for further details.FMCW Frequency-modulated continuous-wave radar technology. The signal is continuously present, but the frequency is modulated, usually in successive linear ramps over time (frequency sweeps).Horn (cone) antenna A common antenna for most applications. It is used for the controlled emission and collection of radar signals.Hazardous area An area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Trained personnel can install and use a device in this area. The device must be ordered with the appropriate options. The device requires approvals (ATEX, IEC Ex, FM, CSA, NEPSI etc.) related to site specifications. You can find more data about hazardous areas in the Ex Manuals and Ex Certificates of Compliance.Interference signals False radar reflections.Level Height from the bottom of the silo (user-defined) to the surface of the top product (Tank height – distance). See the diagrams at the end of this section.

They cannot configure the device in supervisor mode.PACTware™ Software that operates and configures field devices from a remote workstation. It is not necessary to use fieldbus software or programs developed by the manufacturer.Radar reflection Signal reflected from the surface of the silo contents.Signal converter A set of electronic components in the device that send the reflected measurement pulse through some signal filters. They identify and measure the level of the silo contents.Supervisor Users who can configure the device in supervisor mode. They cannot configure the device in service mode.TBF Tank Bottom Following (TBF) mode is an alternative measurement mode. It allows the device to measure silo contents with low dielectric constants. TBF mode uses the reflection of the silo bottom to indirectly measure the level of the silo contents.Ullage volume Unfilled volume. See the diagrams at the end of this section.Volume Total volume of silo contents.Waveguide A PTFE component that is used to guide the emitted radar waves correctly into the horn antenna.
