6.4.6 How to configure the device to measure volume or mass

The device can be configured to measure volume or mass. It can also be configured to a custom
quantity to be measured. You can set up a strapping table in the conversion menu (C3
Conversion). Each entry is a pair of data (level – volume, level – mass or level – custom
measurement). The strapping table must have a minimum of 2 entries and a maximum of 50. The
reference point for the table is the bottom of the tank (as given in menu item Tank Height (C1.2).
CAUTION!
Enter the data in numerical sequence (strapping table entry number 01, 02 etc.).
