A radar level gauge system for determining the filling level of a filling
material in a tank is disclosed. The system comprises a transmitter for
transmitting measuring signals towards the surface of the filling
material; a receiver for receiving echo signals from the tank; processing
circuitry for determining the filling level of the tank based on said
echo signal and adapted to compare said determined filling level with at
least one preset threshold value and to produce an alarm signal in
dependence of said threshold value; and a storage means for storing the
preset threshold value, wherein said threshold value in said storage
means is replaceable and/or adjustable. The alarm signal could indicate
high level and/or overfill. The possibility of adjusting/replacing the
threshold values enables adjustment of the alarm levels when the system
is already installed.A corresponding method of operation is also
disclosed.
