Round Horizontal Tank
Linearization (
rHt
)
This function automatically calculates the volume in a
round horizontal tank with flat ends. This option is
only available on PV2 since PV1 is the designated
level indicator.
Set the display for the desired decimal point and
engineering units before entering the round horizontal
tank function. Select units, inches or cm for the tank
dimensions. Enter the diameter and the length in
inches and the results are calculated automatically in
US gallons; if centimeters, the results are liters.
The meter can be scaled to display the volume in any
engineering unit.
Note: After Scale is displayed continue pressing the
Enter button until the meter completes the
scaling of the input and display values.
Changing the Volume from Gallons to Liters
In the above graphic, entering the 48" for the diameter
and 120" for the length of the round horizontal tank,
the meter automatically calculates that the volume of
the tank is 940.02 gallons.
1. Convert gallons to liters
1 US gallon = 3.7854 L
940.02 gal = 3558.4 L
2. Go to the
Setup
menu and change the decimal
point to 1 decimal.
3. Go to the
Program
–
Scale
menu and press Enter
until
dis 2
is shown on the main display.
4. Press Enter and change the display 2 value to
3558.4.
5. The meter is now displaying the volume in liters.
Note: The display can be scaled to display the volume
in any engineering units.
Low-Height Cutoff (
CutofF
)
The low-height cutoff feature allows the meter to be
programmed so that the often-unsteady outputs from
level transmitters, or levels that read close to zero but
do not reach zero due to setup constraints, may
display zero on the meter. The display will read zero
when the display would be below the programmed
cutoff level value. The cutoff can be disabled to
display negative values.
The cutoff value may be programmed from
0
FT
1
IN
(
0
/
16
or
0
/
8
) to 99
FT
11
IN
(
15
/
16
or
7
/
8
). The meter will
display zero below the cutoff value. Programming the
cutoff value to 0
FT
0
IN
(
0
/
16
or
0
/
8
) disables the cutoff
feature.
