To enter the Thermal Coefficient, press CHANGE and enter the coefficient in U.S. or Metric units, depending on
the units specified in System Setup
(Be careful to add the correct number of zeros to the right of the
decimal point. An incorrect entry can cause test failures and other problems)
.
Contact your authorized Veeder-Root Service Representative for thermal coefficients for British Imperial units.
Press ENTER to confirm your entry. The system displays:

Tank Density
If necessary, press STEP until you see the message:
A value of 0 indicates that the density for the product in this tank has not been entered, or a delivery has ocurred,
or the thermal coefficient changed. For Tank Density enter any one of the product’s values below (units are not
entered):
•
Mass per unit volume at reference temperature (density),
•
Specific Gravity,
•
API number
•
A fourth way to enter Density is by entering the known Thermal Coefficient of the product in the tank (in the
setup step above) and letting the console automatically calculate Tank Density using the Thermal Coefficient
value (density value is not displayed).
If necessary, press CHANGE and enter the density of the product in this tank as shown in the example below:
Press ENTER:
If this value is accepted, it will be converted to actual density (but the user entered value is displayed).
