8.4.3 Commissioning without the commissioning wizard
Example: Commissioning a volume measurement in the tank
Pressure and temperature units are converted automatically. Other units are not
converted.
In the following example, the volume in a tank should be measured in liters. The maximum
volume of 1 000 l (264 gal) corresponds to a pressure of 450 mbar (6.75 psi).
The minimum volume of 0 liters corresponds to a pressure of 50 mbar (0.75 psi).
Prerequisites:
• Measured variable in direct proportion to the pressure
• Due to the orientation of the device, there may be pressure shifts in the measured value
(when the vessel is empty or partly filled, the measured value is not zero)
Perform position adjustment if necessary

The pressure present is displayed in the operating tool on the same settings page in the
"Pressure" field.
1. Enter the pressure value for the lower calibration point via the Pressure value 1
parameter: 50 mbar (0.75 psi)
Menu path: Application → Sensor → Scaled variable → Pressure value 1
2. Enter the volume value for the lower calibration point via the Scaled variable value 1
parameter: 0 l (0 gal)
Menu path: Application → Sensor → Scaled variable → Scaled variable value 1
