Abstract
A fill level measurement device is provided, including a transmission branch configured to generate and emit a transmission signal towards a filling material surface; and a receiving branch configured to receive and evaluate a received signal, wherein the fill level measurement device is configured to selectively assume an interfering signal detection mode for detecting whether the received signal comprises an interfering signal, and a fill level measurement mode for measuring the fill level, and wherein the transmission signal has a lower intensity in the interfering signal detection mode than in the fill level measurement mode.
