Page 3: Scope
For VOLUME, the user should configure SmartScan50 to map between LEVEL and VOLUME. SmartScan50 provides for a mapping table (also known as strapping table) of up to 24 points. The user enters a minimum of 8 points and for each point the user defines LEVEL and corresponding VOLUME.
Page 4 6. The thickness of the “slices” does not need to be equal. On the contrary, for different vessel shapes it is reasonable to define thinner slices where the volume does not increase linearly. 7. Minimum of 8 strapping points is required. ________________________________________4 of 13 _____________________________________ Solid Applied Technologies Ltd. www.solidAT.com 40, Hutzot Hayozer, info@solidAT.com...

• enters the corresponding VOLUME value. Loop current values 4-20mA are set after strapping table is configured. SmartScan50 is ready for volume measurement after exiting the configuration menu. Important notes: It is recommended to map vessel interferences using Scan Distance option. Refer to the User Manual of SmartScan for details.
Page 6: Semi-Automatic Insertion Of The Strapping Table
When entering Pr.1, SmartScan50 will prompt with the first point, P1. For each point the user should define the required LEVEL and corresponding VOLUME. For example, for the vessel discussed above: P1 <Ent> Level: 001.000 <Ent> Volume, first screen: 001200 <Ent>...
Page 7 The procedure for semi-automatic insertion of mapping table is as follows: 1. Start with an almost empty vessel or at the first point where the contained volume is known. 2. In semi-automatic mode, the level is measured and calculated automatically by SmartScan50. Accept the display level by pressing <Ent>.
Page 8: Loop-Current Configuration For Volume
Pressing <Esc> after the eighth point indicates that point eight is the last point in the strapping table. 6. LOOP-CURRENT CONFIGURATION FOR VOLUME Once the user configures SmartScan50 to volume and sets the strapping table points, it is possible to configure 4mA and 20mA parameters to represent volume values.
Page 9: Configuring Special Vessel Shapes
Important note: It is recommended to use all 24 strapping table points for better accuracy. 8. WEIGHT CALCULATIONS ________________________________________9 of 13 _____________________________________ Solid Applied Technologies Ltd. www.solidAT.com 40, Hutzot Hayozer, info@solidAT.com...
Page 10: Flow Measurement Of Custom Flume
When custom flume measurements are required, the user should configure SmartScan50 to map between FLOW and corresponding LEVEL. SmartScan50 provides for a 24 point mapping table (also known as strapping table). For each point the user should define the level and the corresponding flow for this level. The drawing below illustrates the LEVEL to FLOW mapping.

Page 12: Loop-Current Configuration For Custom Flumes
The device is ready for custom flume measurement after exit from the configuration menu. 10. LOOP-CURRENT CONFIGURATION FOR CUSTOM FLUMES Once the user configures the SmartScan50 to custom flume and sets the strapping table points, it is possible to configure 4mA and 20mA parameters for FLOW values.
Page 13: Appendix A: Volume Calculations
Using the equations, it is easy to calculate the height-to-volume mapping. For example, assume a cylinder shaped vessel with 2-meter radius and 8 meter height. The following table defines the height- to-volume mapping: ________________________________________13 of 13 _____________________________________ Solid Applied Technologies Ltd. www.solidAT.com 40, Hutzot Hayozer, info@solidAT.com...
