About this manual

 

 

This  User’s  Guide  provides  information  about  mechanical  and  electrical 

installation of the MRG-10. It also describes how to configure the unit. 

 
The main purpose of the book is to serve as a guide to installing and operating 

the  MRG-10.  It  is  not  intended  to  cover  service  tasks  such  as  changing  circuit 
boards or internal software. 

 

Chapter 1 reviews some basic concepts of radar based level gauging. 
 
Chapter 2 describes how to assemble a gauge and how to mount it onto a tank. 
 
Chapter 3 describes electrical installation. 
 
Chapter 4 describes configuration method by key SW. 
 
Chapter 5 describes how to configure for tank conditions. 
 
Chapter 6 provides technical information. 
 
Chapter 7 lists some typical problems that might occur and suggestions on how 
to solve them.
