8.5.31

Fill Rate (FILL RATE/MIN.) (2.2.7.2.)

Defines the maximum rate at which the reported sensor value is allowed to increase. Allows you
to adjust the SITRANS LR260 response to increases in the actual material level. Fill Rate is
automatically updated whenever Response Rate is altered.

8.5.32

Empty rate (EMPTY RATE/MIN.) (2.2.7.3.)

Defines the maximum rate at which the reported sensor value is allowed to decrease. Adjusts
the SITRANS LR260 response to decreases in the actual material level. Empty Rate is
automatically updated whenever Response Rate is altered.
Enter a value slightly greater than the vessel's maximum emptying rate, in Sensor Units per
minute.
