D - MANUAL INPUT OF DISTANCES AND ASSOCIATED VOLUMES
This function uses distances between the base of the sensor, fluid surface and associated
volumes to fix the relationship between the transmitter display and real measurement.
- This function allows upto 12 individual distance and associated volume measurements
to be entered.
- This option is generally used for irregular shapped tanks and vessels as it allows the
input of individual distances and volumes.
- This function can be completed before the transmitter is installed onto the fitting.
- The accuracy of this function is highly dependent on the selected reference points
according to the shape of the tank or vessel.
Steps for successful measurement:
- Identify at least 2 reference points according to the shape of the tank or vessel for
measuring the distances and entering the associated volumes.
- The values can be entered in either an increasing or decreasing order although the
maximum volume which can be entered is 599.99m 3 or 5999.9 litre/Gal.
- Select ‘MANUAL‘ within the ‘Input of Tank Dimensions‘ menu C and press enter.
- Enter the first distance measurement and press enter.
- Enter the associated volume which corresponds to the distance entered previously and
press enter.
- Repeat the last 2 steps of entering the distance and associated volume.
- After entering the 2nd associated volume it is possible to quit the function by selecting
‘END YES‘ and select to validate the option or ignore and advance to the next function.
Alternatively it is possible to continue and enter a distance measurement and associated
volume by selecting ‘END NO‘ when the option appears. This can be repeated to enter a
total of 12 measurements.
