Abstract
A method for calibrating a modular fill-level gauge based on a capacitive, an ultrasonic, or a radar based measuring principle and including components as follows: a sensor module, an electronics module and a transmission module comprises connecting the transmission module with the sensor module, calibrating the sensor module, and instructing the electronics module relative to the installed height. This simplifies the calibrating of the fill-level gauge, since it does not have to be applied to the entire fill-level gauge but only to the sensor module. In this way, a corresponding calibration setup only needs to be kept at the site of the sensor module manufacture, and not supplementally at the site of the final manufacture, where all modules of the fill-level gauge are put together. Correspondingly, also the possible creating of a calibration protocol is simplified.
