6.5.2 Function group "basic setup" (00)
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 beginning the first filling
procedure.
plastic tank
Select the "plastic tank" option when installing probes in wood or plastic containers without metallic
surfaces at the process connection (see installation in plastic containers). When using a metallic surface
at the process connection, the "standard" optionis sufficient!
Note!
In principle the employment of a metallic surface area should be prefferred at the process
connection!
bypass / pipe
The "bypass / pipe" option is designed especially for the installation of probes in a bypass or a
stilling well. If this option is selected, the upper blocking distance is preset to 100 mm.
coax probe
Select the "coax probe" option when using a coaxial probe. When this setting is made, the
evaluation is adapted to the high sensitivity of the coax probe. This option should, therefore, not be
selected when using a rope or rod probes.
