If the above is done correctly, the amount of liquid level according to the figure is 7 meters above the
reference level and the read number of the equipment up to the liquid level will be 2 meters; therefore,
the 9 must be considered for the probe level of the transmitter.
With the above explanations, the tank equipment parameters of Figure 23 are set as follows.

Define Level Parameters of Sample Tank #2
In this example, a 12-meter wall can be seen that has a depth of about 9 meters underground and also its
height from the ground is more than 3 meters.
This time the surface of the earth is considered as a reference point; Also, according to the information
we have from the liquid, we know that the changes in the liquid level are in a range of 9 meters, which is
a maximum of one meter above the ground (maximum level: +1 meters) and its minimum depth will not
get less than 8 meters below the ground (minimum level: -8 meters).

Also, the current level of the liquid determined by other means is 50 cm below the ground (so the current
level of the liquid is -0.5 m); Also, when the equipment is turned on, it will show a distance of 3.5 meters
for the transmitter probe to the liquid level; Thus the value to be considered for the probe level parameter
is the sum of these two values; that means:
-0.5 + 3.5 = 3m
