Calibration with partially
filled vessel If the following calibration during the hydrostatic level measurement is carried out with
water (density = 1g/cm3), the correction factor indicated in the V8H7 corresponds in
each case to the density of the product.
Sensor calibration
Step Matrix Entry Significance
1 V9H5 e.g. 672 Reset transmitter
2 - »E« Register entry
Note! See also Section 4.1 Commissioning, V3H5; V3H6
3 V8H0 5 Enter operating mode
4 - »E« Register entry
5 V8H2 4 s Set switching delay to min. 4 s
6 - »E« Register entry
7 V8H3 e.g. 80% Enter installation height of limit switch
in desired unit
8 - »E« Register entry
9 V8H4 0 Enter sensor type: 0 = Liquiphant; 1 = capacitance probe
10 - »E« Register entry
11 V8H5 0 only for capacitance probes (channel 2)

(correction factor)
2 - »E« Register entry
3 V0H1 e.g. 10% Enter »empty« level
4 - »E« Register entry
2 V8H7 1 Fill vessel (60

(correction factor)
3 - »E« Register entry
3 V0H2 e.g. 90% Enter »full« level
4 - »E« Register entry
Note!
•
The best accuracy is attained when the difference between »full« and »empty«
levels is as great as possible.
•
If operating mode 5 is temporarily quit, the Silometer measures by using the
sensitivity V3H2 x V8H7. The indication remains correct as long as the same product
is in the tank.
•
Analogue output and relays are set as described in Chapter 6 and 7.
