Volume; Readings; Vessel Shape And Dimensions - Siemens HydroRanger 200 HMI Operating Instructions Manual

Volume

Volume is used in two situations:
1. Calculate and display Volume instead of Level.
2. Calculate pumped volume to accomplish the following:
• Totalize the volume of material that is pumped out of the wet well.
• Set an alarm on pump efficiency.

Readings

When using volume, volume values are presented in the same units specified in
Maximum Volume
The default is 100, which gives a reading in percent of total. Use whatever unit is
applicable. If the value is too large for the six-digit LCD, use a larger unit.

Vessel shape and dimensions

The HydroRanger can be configured to suit many common vessel or tank shapes. (See
2.7.2. Vessel Shape
selections.) Each shape uses the Empty distance (
volume.
Some tank shapes also require extra dimensions to calculate the volumes. Do not
estimate these values as they must be exact to ensure the accuracy of your volume
calculations.
