It may not always be possible to fill and empty the vessel for the calibrations as described
in Sections 4.2 and 4.3. To cover this eventuality the Silometer FMX 570 can be calibrated
»dry« by using the sensor constants. For this alternative calibration you need:
• the »zero frequency« and »sensitivity« of the sensors,
• the »empty« level or offset at which the measurement should start
• the maximum height of the liquid column and
• the density of the liquid.
Caution!
• Check the calibration during the first filling of the tank! If your calculations are
incorrect the levels measured will be incorrect also!

frequency of the installed Deltapilot S at atmospheric pressure is read from V0H8.

Note!
• The zero frequency of the sensor is in fact dependent upon the sensor orientation,
so that there may be a slight difference between the value read from Table 2.2 and
that of the factory calibration which is printed in the sensor housing. This effect is
compensated during the standard calibration, where the factory values are used.
