Tank Height

The Tank Height is defined as the distance from the Upper Reference Point to the Lower Reference Point. The transmitter measures the distance to the product surface and subtracts this value from the Tank Height to determine the product level. The Lower Reference Point can be set to any position in the tank simply by adjusting the Tank Height.

Mounting Type

Enter the type of mounting for the device. This configuration optimizes the device for the respective mounting type.

•Unknown – default factory setting for mounting type, and can also be used if the mounting type is unknown

•Pipe/Chamber – select this option if the device is mounted on a chamber/bridle or in a pipe. When selecting this alternative enter the corresponding Inner Diameter as well

•Nozzle – select this if the device is installed on a nozzle. When selecting this alternative, configure the Inner Diameter and the Nozzle Height as well

•Direct/Bracket – when the device is mounted directly on the tank roof with no traditional nozzle, this is the alternative to use. With this selection no inner diameter or height is required, thus those selections are disabled

Inner Diameter

Using with pipe, chamber - and nozzle installations.

Nozzle Height

For nozzle installations.

Probe Length

The probe length is the distance between the Upper Reference Point and the end of the probe. If a weight is used at the end of the probe, it should not be included.

For Flexible Single Lead probes anchored with clamps, the probe length should be configured as the distance between the underside of the flange and the upper clamp (see “Anchoring” on page 3-22).

This parameter is pre-configured at the factory. It must be changed if the probe is shortened.

Probe Type

The transmitter is designed to optimize measurement performance for each probe type.

This parameter is pre-configured at the factory. This value needs to be changed if the probe type is changed.
