safety", "Solid" is preset as factory setting. However, the
instrument should be used preferably in liquids. In such cases,
the vessel form should be set to "Storage tank" during setup.
Enter the requested parameter via the appropriate keys, save
your settings and jump to the next menu item with the [->] key.
A linearization is necessary for all vessels in which the vessel
volume does not increase linearly with the level - e.g. with a
cylindrical or spherical tank - and the indication or output of the
volume is required. Corresponding linearization curves are
preprogrammed for these vessels. They represent the
correlation between the level percentage and vessel volume.
By activating the appropriate curve, the volume percentage of
the vessel is displayed correctly. If the volume should not be
displayed in percent but e.g. in l or kg, a scaling can be also
set in the menu item "Display".

Caution:
Note the following, if VEGAPULS 63 is used as part of an
overfill protection system according to WHG:
If a linearisation curve is selected, the measuring signal is no
longer compulsorily linear proportional to the level. This must
be taken into consideration by the user, particularly when
adjusting the switching point on the level switch.
High sockets or vessel installations, such as e.g. struts or
agitators as well as buildup and weld joints on the vessel walls
cause interfering reflections which can impair the measure-
ment. A false echo storage detects and marks these false
echoes, so that they are no longer taken into account for the
level measurement. A false echo memory should be created
with empty vessel so that all potential interfering reflections will
be detected.
