LINEARIZATION for VOLUME
The MT5000 is designed to measure level in a linear fashion over the length of the probe. If the transmitter is in-
stalled in a straight sided tank, the volume of the tank may be calculated by knowing the amount of product per unit
of measurement. However, if the MT5000 is installed in a tank with round sides, like a sphere or bullet tank, the
amount of product per unit measurement will change from one point to the next. For this reason the Linearization
has been designed with the flexibility to accept a strapping table as an output. With the LIN MODE set to Manual, a
20 point strapping table may be entered into the Linearization Table to allow the MT5000 to display a volume meas-
urement. If a strapping table is not available for the tank, with the LIN MODE set to Automatic, a given amount of
liquid may be added to the tank and the Output Points set based on that given amount. Below is an example of a
Linearization setup for Volume using the Manual Mode.
