  • Page 19 If you cannot maintain this distance, you should carry out a auto false echo suppression during setup. This applies particularly if buildup on the vessel wall is expected. In such cases, we recommend repeating the auto false echo suppression at a later date with existing buildup. SITRANS LR140 Operating Instructions, 08/2020, A5E50352144...
