The reported complaint was confirmed.Per data log review: on 13aug2021 the level module was reporting both alert and alarm probe status changes.The status was changing between coupled, uncoupled, and sometimes disconnected.This will cause an alert to occur, both 'level not attached' and 'level disconnected', when level detection is turned on.The log confirms the complaint.If additional information becomes available on this complaint that would alter the facts and/or conclusion, a supplemental report will be filed accordingly.
