3.1

Function "measured value" (000)

This function displays the current measured value in the selected unit
(see "customer unit" (042) function). The number of places after decimal point can be
selected in the "no.of decimals" (095) function.
3.2

Function "tank properties" (002)

This function is used to select the tank properties.
Selection:
• standard
• aluminium tank
• plastic tank
• bypass / pipe
• coax probe
• concrete wall
standard
The "standard" option is recommended for normal containers for rod and rope probes.
aluminium tank
The "aluminium tank" option is designed especially for high aluminium silos that cause
an increased level of noise when empty. This option is only useful for probes
longer than (< 4 m). For short probes (< 4 m) select the "standard" option.
Note!
If "aluminium tank" is selected, the device calibrates of its own accord when first filled,
depending on the medium's properties. Slope errors can, therefore, occur when begin-
ning the first filling procedure.
plastic tank
Select the "plastic tank" option when installing probes in wood or plastic containers wit-
hout metallic surfaces at the process connection (see installation in plastic containers).
When using a metallic surface at the process connection, the "standard" option is suffi-
cient.
Note!
In principle the employment of a metallic surface area should be preferred at the pro-
cess connection!
