E - VOLUME TEACH-IN PROCEDURE
This function identifies the distance between the base of the sensor and fluid surface and
associated volumes are entered to fix the relationship between the transmitter display and
real measurement.
- This function allows upto 12 individual associated volume measurements to be entered
in relation to the distance measured by the transmitter.
- To perform this function the associated volumes must be known in relation to the
measured distance.
- The accuracy of this function is highly dependent on the selected reference points
according to the shape of the tank or vessel. (see diagram below)
Steps for successful measurement:
- Identify at least 2 reference points according to the shape of the tank or vessel for
entering the associated volume to the measured distance given by the transmitter.
- The tank or vessel can be filled or emptied for each reference point although the
maximum volume which can be entered is 599.9m 3 or 5999.9 litre/Gal.
- Select ‘TEACH Y‘ on entering the Teach-In function and press enter.
- The transmitter will automatically calculate the first distance measurement.
- If the distance measurement is correct, press ‘enter‘ and insert the volume associated to
the measured distance and press enter.
- The previous 2 steps will be repeated automatically as the transmitter requires at least 2
reference points.
- After entering the 2nd associated volume it is possible to quit the function by
selecting
‘END YES‘ and select ‘VALID Y‘ to validate the option or ignore and advance to
the next function. Alternatively it is possible to continue and enter associated volumes
by selecting
‘END NO‘ . This can be repeated to enter a total of 12 measurements.
