Measuring Mode "Volume - Siemens Sitrans P500 Operating Instructions Manual

Example
In the following calculation example these sensor limits are taken as 0 and 4 bar. You can
also set up a down-scaling; e.g. 1:2. A down-scaling of 1:2 corresponds to 50 % of the
nominal measuring range, i.e. in this case 2 bar.

For the output scaling of "level", specify the measuring range limits with a unit from the level
range. Parameters may be assigned, for instance, at 10 and 20 m. This means that at a
process pressure of 0 bar, "level" is shown as 10 m and at 2 bar it is shown as 20 m.
