VOLUME APPLICATION
In addition to simple liquid level and pump applications, volume conversions can be
included in the programming.
Common Tank Shapes
Volume conversion is provided for 8 common tank shapes, ( P-34 ). Dimensions are
entered using P-4 and 36. Volume is displayed as 0-100% and may be converted to
volume units using P-37.
P-4, span, must be equal to the 100% (full) level of tank.
Volume Example
The application is to measure the volume of glue in a horizontal tank with
parabolic ends. The tank manufacturer’s specifications state that the volume
is 40.6 cubic metres.
The maximum fill / draw rate is 0.35 cu. m / min. In the event of a loss of echo, the
MultiRanger Plus is to go into fail-safe high after 30 sec.
