Calibration with partially
filled vessel
If the following calibration is initially carried out with a hydrostatic pressure sensor using
water (ρ = 1.0), density can be measured and read off from V8H7.
• If the product changes, the system can be quickly adapted to the new
product by entering a its density at V8H7. This ensures that the correct level is
measured as the vessel is filled.

# Matrix Entry Remarks
10 V8H7 1 At »empty« level,
set corr. factor to 1
11 - »E« Register entry
12 V0H1 e.g. 10% »Empty« level
13 - »E« Register entry
14 V8H7 1 At »full« level
set corr. factor to 1
15 - »E« Register entry
16 V0H2 e.g. 90% »Full« level
17 - »E« Register entry
Note!
• The best accuracy is attained when the
difference between »full« and »empty«
levels is as great as possible.
• If the operating mode is temporarily
quit, the Prolevel measures by using
the sensitivity V3H2 x V8H3. The
indication remains correct as long as
the same product is in the tank.
