UNDERSTANDING SENSOR HEIGHT

This is a critical setting for LVU500 series. Sensor Height (SH) defines the location of the sensor from the
bottom of the tank. The value must take into account the shape of the tank and any risers, fittings, structures
or extensions associated with the tank or the installation (see examples below). The reference point for
definition of the Sensor Height is always the bottom of the mounting nut.
