Probe Length - FlowLine EchoWave LG10 Series Manual

Getting Started
UNDERSTANDING SENSOR HEIGHT
This is a critical setting for EchoWave
the tank. The height 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.

UNDERSTANDING PROBE LENGTH
The reference point for definition of the probe length [Length] is always the bottom of the threads [bottom of
the feed through (see below)]. Note: This is a different reference location from the Sensor Height. The probe
Length is an important mechanical dimension which is needed to make sure the probe physically fits into the
tank at the anticipated mounting location. Probe length has an influence on the actual measuring range of the
sensor, but it is a different aspect of the sensor.
Note: Sensor Height and Probe Length have different reference points for measurement.
