• How sensitive is the Baumer radar sensor to object tilting?

  The sensitivity to object tilt depends on the object's geometry and detection position. Typically, an angle smaller than 3 to 6 degrees can be tolerated by the sensor.

• What happens during a factory reset of a Baumer radar sensor?

  The sensor returns to factory settings, which means it delivers 4 mA for objects at 0.2 m and 20 mA for objects at 6 m, with a linear output in between.

• Can the Baumer FlexProgrammer be used in hazardous areas?

  No, the FlexProgrammer configuration unit must not be connected to the FlexTop within a hazardous area. You must disconnect the product, configure it in a safe area, and then reinstall it.

• How should I maintain the Baumer CleverLevel switch connection?

  If the seal is leaking, change it immediately. Before reassembly, clean the hole and the inside of the connection with detergent and sanitizing liquid using a small brush, ensuring all areas are completely clean.

• Should I use a shielded cable for Baumer sensors?

  Yes, in environments with strong electromagnetic fields, it is highly recommended to use a shielded cable with a proper grounding concept.
