Transmitter Overview
2.7.1 Transition zones
The measuring range depends on probe type and properties of the product. The upper
transition zone is the minimum measurement distance between the upper reference point and
the product surface. The upper transition zone varies between 4 - 20 in. (0.1 and 0.5 m)
depending on probe type and product.
At the end of the probe, the measuring range is reduced by the lower transition zone. The lower
transition zone also varies depending on probe type and product.
Figure 2-6 illustrates how the measuring range is related to the transition zones.
Figure 2-6. Transition Zones
For detailed information on transition zones for different probe types, see Table A-4 on
page 128.
Note
Measurement accuracy is reduced in the transition zones. It may even be impossible to make
any measurements at all in those regions. Therefore, the 4-20 mA set points must be configured
outside the transition zones.
