Installation offset
Figure 20: Installation offset
The VISY-Stick sensors are installed vertically in the tanks as close as possible to the central
vertical axis. Afterwards, it will be necessary to configure the respective positions of the sensors
in VISY-Command using the installation offset. The offset is composed of the distance (b) of the
probe tube (see Figure 20) to the tank bottom plus the safety distance (see Figure 14). The in-
stallation offset is transmitted to VISY-Command during configuration of the individual
measuring points using the VISY-Setup software application.
Figure 20 shows the probe distance (b) from the lowest point of the tank bottom for cylindrical
tanks according to DIN 6608, 6616, 6617, and 6624 depending on probe distance (a) from the
central vertical axis when the probe is in contact with the tank wall.
