Signet 8900 Multi-Parameter
Zero reference point (Z):
Defi nition:
The point in the vessel where you want the 8900 to display
zero (0 ft, 0 gal. etc).
• If Z is located below the fl uid surface, the 8900 will display
a positive level measurement.
• If Z is located above the fl uid surface, the 8900 will display
a negative level measurement.
Sensor Location point (S
Loc
):
Defi nition:
The point on the level sensor where the measurement is
taken.
• Pressure sensors measure from the centerline of the
diaphragm.
Offset (O):
Defi nition:
The distance from the zero reference point (Z) to the sensor
location point (S
loc
).
• Enter a positive value in the Calibrate menu if the sensor is
located above Z (zero reference point).
• Enter a negative value in the Calibrate menu if the sensor
is located below Z (zero reference point).
• Enter 0 in the Calibrate menu if the sensor is located at Z
(zero reference point).
Level (L):
Defi nition:
• The distance from Z (zero reference point) to surface of
fl uid.

For horizontal cylinders only,
the zero reference point MUST
be the lowest point in the
vessel.
For most vessels, the zero
reference point may be
designated as any height
in the vessel.
Appendix B: Level System Confi guration
The Signet 2450 Pressure sensor can be used to calculate level values. The following information is required for this mode:
1. Determine where you want the level measurement to start. This is the Zero reference point (Z).
Review the diagrams for your sensor type to help select the best option.
2. Determine where you will mount the sensor. This is
S
Loc
.
Consult the Sensor manual for information regarding the best location for the sensor.
3. Measure the distance between Z and S
Loc
. This is
O(ffset).
4. Enter the Offset into the Calibrate menu.
