STEP 1 - MEASURE THE TANK
Measuring the tank is one of the most important aspects in
configuring the sensor. When measuring the tank, take into
account the location of the sensor with respect to fittings, risers,
dome tops and bottoms, and identify where the measurements
are taken from the sensor. The HEIGHT and FILL-H settings
determine the 4-20mA span and are always measured from the
bottom of the tank up.
Height:
Sets the location for 4mA. It is based on the distance
from the Empty level position (bottom of tank) to the
Measurement location for the sensor (bottom of sensor).
Fill-Height:
Sets the location for 20mA. It is based on the
distance from the Empty level position (bottom of tank) to the
Full level position (see below).
#2 - SETTING THE UNITS OF MEASUREMENT (UNITS)
The EchoPod
®
displays information in the following units:
inches, feet, centimeters, meters or percentage. The value
shown on the display represents the amount of liquid in the
tank.
1) In TOP-LEVEL MENU mode, select
UNITS
.
2) Next, select
INCHES, FEET, CM or METERS
by holding
down OK button.
