If any difference, the Calibration Distance parameter will be adjusted. A minor adjustment
using Calibration Distance is normal. There may, for example be a deviation between the
actual tank height and the configured value.

Non-metallic (e.g. plastic) vessels and installation geometry may introduce an offset for
the zero reference point. This offset may be up to ± 1 in. (25 mm). The offset can be
compensated for by using Calibration Distance.
Run verify level
Run the Verify Level tool to match the product level reported by the device to a reference
measurement (measured by using for example handgauging).
Prerequisites

Before running Verify Level, make sure the product surface is calm, the tank is not being
filled or emptied, and the actual level is well above the probe end.
