Tank Shape Selection; Dimensional Entry - FlowLine EchoWave LG11 Series Manual

Configuration
B. Dimensional Entry
1. Distance Mode (default): Output of sensor is based on the distance (height of liquid) in the tank.
Any change in liquid level will reflect linearly to the current output. Note: Most applications will fall into
this category. The three settings you must enter for Distance Mode are Sensor Height, Probe Length
and Maximum Fill-Height. All three settings can be entered on the main configuration screen.
2. Volumetric Mode: Allows the end user to switch from the standard distance output to an output
based upon the volumetric shape of the tank. In Volumetric Mode, the shape of the tank is first selected
followed by the entry of dimensional information for the tank with respect to the sensor's location on the
tank.
Enter the operational dimensions for the sensor and tank within the defined application. All of the
shown dimensions are required and will adjust depending on tank shape whether the operation is for
volume or distance. Press Apply when information is completed.
Note: While in Volumetric Mode, the sensor may be switched between Distance and Volumetric
outputs (under Sensor Output Units). When Distance is selected the units are inches, cm, feet or
meters. When Volume is selected, the units are Gallons or Liters. The configuration output
(Volumetric or Distance) and the measured units may be changed under Sensor Output Units.
