DEFINITIONS & MENU DESCRIPTIONS
SET UNITS
• UNITS
This item determines if the sensor will display linear distance units in feet or meters, or in engineering
units (volume/weight). If English units are selected on this menu, all tank definition distances will be
edited using feet. If metric units are selected, all distances will be edited using meters.
When engineering units are selected in conjunction with a cone height greater than 0, the displayed
value and the 4-20 mA output are linearized. This linearization assumes a center discharge cone below a
round, straight sidewall silo.
Note: When selecting any engineering unit, the Full Scale Value (the amount of material that corresponds to
the Tank Full Distance) must also be specified.
