Tank Type and Tank Bottom Type
The 5400 transmitter is optimized according to the Tank Type and Tank
Bottom Type configuration by automatically setting some parameters to
predefined default values.
Select Tank Bottom Type Flat Inclined if the bottom inclination is between 10
and 30 degrees. If the inclination is less than 10 degrees, but there are
disturbing objects on the tank floor (like heating coils) within the radar beam,
this selection should also be used. If the inclination is greater than 30
degrees, use the Cone Tank Bottom Type.
