Measured value re-mains unchanged inthe close range duringemptyingLeveltime0– False signal larger than thelevel echo– Level echo too small– Eliminate false signal in theclose range. Check: Antennamust protrude from the socket– Remove contamination on theantenna– In case of interferences due toinstallations in the close range:Change polarisation direction– After eliminating the false sig-nals, the false signal suppres-sion must be deleted.
