8.6.12.5 Convert reading (2.12.5.)
Multiplies the current value by the specified amount, to allow for scaling.
Index Level
Values Range: -999 ... 9999
Preset: 1.000
Related Reading (3.2.8.2.) (Page 256)
Example:
● If the measured value is in feet, enter 0.3333 to display the number of yards.
● For simple linear volume conversions, set Units to 1 (meter) and then enter the volume
measurement per unit to get the correct conversion. For example, if the reservoir contains
100 liters per vertical meter, use 100 to get the reading in liters.
Note
•
This method does not calculate volume. It must not be used in place of the volume
parameters if any volume dependent features (such as pump efficiency) are used. To
calculate true volumes, see Volume (2.7.) (Page 185).
• Avoid entering a value that exceeds the display capabilities when multiplied by the
maximum current reading. If value exceeds four digits, #### is shown.
8.6.12.6 Offset reading (2.12.6.)
Adds the specified value to the level reading, usually to reference the reading to sea level or
another data level.
Index Level
Values Range: -999 ... 9999
Preset: 0.000

The operation of the device is not affected by the Offset Reading. This value is used for
display purposes only. All control measurements are still referenced to Empty.
