VEGABAR 52 • 4 ... 20 mA/HART
6 Set up with the indicating and adjustment module PLICSCOM
A linearization is necessary for all vessels in which the vessel volume
does not increase linearly with the level - e.g. in a horizontal 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".

Enter the requested parameters via the appropriate keys, save your
settings and jump to the next menu item with the [->] key.
Caution:
Note the following if the VEGABAR 52 with corresponding approval 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.
This function enables reading out parameter adjustment data as well
as writing parameter adjustment data into the sensor via the indicating
and adjustment module. A description of the function is available in the
operating instructions manual "Indicating and adjustment module".
