TANK LEVEL CONFIRMATION

window via the Volumetric Mode button.

Height Units: Units selected for configuration. When used as a device to measure the distance (height
of liquid), the options are inches, cm, feet or m. When used as a device to measure the volume of
liquid, the options are gallons or liters.

Sensor Height: Distance from the bottom of the tank to the bottom of the top of the threads.

Max. Fill-Height: Distance from the bottom of the tank to the operational full level of liquid (20mA).
This setting defines the location of full current output and is the top of the sensor's measurement range.

Min. Fill-Height: Distance from the bottom of the tank to the operational empty level of liquid (4mA).
This setting defines the location of empty current output and is the bottom of the sensor's measurement
range.

Probe Length: Total length of the probe from the bottom of the probe to the bottom of the threads
(feed through).
o Cable version only: The height of the counter-weight is included in this measurement.

Capacity: The total volume of the tank. Only shown when gallons or liters are selected.

Maximum Current: Displayed value of the largest operational current of the sensor's measurement
range. Typically 20mA when Output @ Empty is set to 4mA.

Maximum Volume: Displayed value of the largest operational volume of the sensor's measurement
range. This is the calculated volume of liquid at the Max. Fill-Height. This feature is only shown when
the sensor is selected to measure the volume of liquid in the tank.

Minimum Current: Displayed value of the smallest operational current of the sensor's measurement
range. This value is dependent on the location of the Min. Fill-Height.

Minimum Volume: Displayed value of the smallest operational volume of the sensor's measurement
range. This is the calculated volume of liquid at the Min. Fill-Height. This feature is only shown when
the sensor is selected to measure the volume of liquid in the tank.
Note: By extending the empty (4mA) to the bottom of the tank, the 4-20 mA output will track the volume of the tank.
This allows any local display to read the actual volume of liquid without the need for any unique configuration. This
feature is very useful with any non-linear tanks such as horizontal, spherical or tanks with cone bottoms.
