3.4 Parameter Settings
3.4.1 General
Information
Your BM100 A has now been installed on the tank and the necessary electrical connections have
been made. Once the power has been switched on, it may be necessary to configure the gauge to:
• display the readings using the correct units and reference point (level / distance ),
• change the measurement range,
• give the instrument an address so that it may be integrated into a network,
• display volume readings by programming and using a volume calibration table (strap table).
We recommend that any changes to settings be noted on the configuration record supplied in
appendix B, or recorded using PC-STAR, to enable KROHNE service personnel to provide a rapid
response to any enquiries.
3.4.2 Configuration
Procedure
The BM100 A starts up in operating mode displaying either information according to customer
specifications or factory default values.
The configuration mode (user menu) can be accessed and parameters modified by following the
operator control concept summary below. Configuration procedure is described in more detail in
section 3.4.3.
Instruments may equally be configured individually using a remote display available in PC-STAR
software for remote connections. Please refer to the PC-STAR on-line Help file for more details.
A restricted-access factory menu is available for advanced configuration. Refer to the BM100 A
Service Manual for further information.
