  • Page 5: Trovis-View 4 Software

    Refer to the Operating Instructions u EB 6661 on how to use the TROVIS-VIEW 4 software. The TROVIS-VIEW 4 software allows users to configure and parameterize various smart SAMSON devices (in this case, the Media 6 Differential Pressure Meter) over a common user interface. It consists of the operator interface, communication server, and the device-specific module.

  • Page 6: Communication With Media 6 Differential Pressure And Flow Meter

    To download configuration data from the software to the SAMSON memory pen or to up- load data from the memory pen, a SAMSON modular adapter must be inserted into the seri- al interface of the PC or laptop to connect the memory pen. See the Operating Instructions u EB 6661 for TROVIS-VIEW 4 software.

Gas column correction · Yes/No Yes · The gas column correction increases the accuracy of the filling level indication. It can only be performed if the gas density in the tank and in the low-pressure pipe are known. Therefore, enter the density after activating the gas column correction (see [Density]).
  • Page 18 User interface Liquid density in m³ Density of medium at 1 bar (abs) and boiling temperature. To improve the accuracy of the in- dicated filling level, enter the liquid density at operating conditions. In this case, the operat- ing pressure density must be entered and changed manually (see [Operating pressure]). This makes the filling level reading more precise.
  • Page 19 User interface [Operating filling limit, hazard warning] − Operating filling limit Operating filling limit in % A blinking bar graph element on the display indicates when the operating filling limit has been reached. A marking can be fixed in the range between 0 % and 95 %. This is used to calculate the tank content.
