2.7 TANKS – PROBE
Calibration Factor: Also known as wire speed. This is a performance value that is measured for each
probe and is necessary to generate an accurate level reading.
Probe Type: The model number of the probe. Only the first 5 characters are necessary. (i.e.
MP461SC and MP461SA are both programmed as MP461.)
Probe Length: Used to determine the location of the temperature sensors within the probe shaft.
Product Height Float Offset: Compensates for the difference between a manual stick reading of
product and the displayed product level. This setting should only be used if the product float is buoyant
or floating.
Water Height Float Offset: Compensates for the difference between a manual stick reading of water
and the displayed water level. If the manual stick reading shows no water, the water float offset should
be set so that the final water reading on the TMS is 0.2 inches for both the MP45Xs and MP461SC.
The recommended final reading for the MP46Xs is 1 inch.
Motion Height Band: Sensitivity adjustment used by the TMS to filter out surface action from actual
transactions. Set in inches per minute. Defaults to 0.2 inches per minute. When the Motion Band is
met or exceeded, the transaction begins. When the Motion Band is not met or exceeded for 3
consecutive minutes, the transaction is ended, categorized, and possibly recorded. See Minimum
Log Volume.
Minimum Log Volume: After a transaction is completed, the volume of the transaction is compared to
this setting to determine whether to record or discard the transaction. Used to further filter out false
transactions.
