Abstract

To detect a limit level, a multi-limit level measuring device is employed, which uses two different measured data evaluation methods. The measured data to be evaluated is acquired by a multi-limit level sensor arrangement which can use different physical measurement principles. In this manner, the likelihood of the limit level being erroneously detected may be reduced.
