Input
Measured variable
The measured variable is the distance between the reference point and the product surface.
The level is calculated based on "E", the empty distance entered.
Optionally, the level can be converted to other variables (volume, mass) by linearization (32 points).
Measuring range
The following table describes the media groups and the possible measuring range as a function of
