Tank configuration

The VIA shows all properly configured tanks. Each correctly configured sensor will automatically show up on the VIA. The

following section describes how to set up a sensor on the VIA.

6.5.1

Adding a new tank

After connecting a tank sensor to an appropriate module (ST107, SC303/503, SCQ25T) input, you can configure the tank by

following these steps:

In the settings menu, navigate to DEVICES > TANKS. Select "Add new" and fill in the requested data:

NAME - Name the tank accordingly

TYPE - Select the tank type (WATER, FUEL, WASTEWATER), which defines the color of the tank on Pico’s screen.

SENSOR TYPE - Select the used sensor's type (RESISTANCE or VOLTAGE)

SENSOR - Select the used sensor input from the Only resistance/voltage inputs that are not already used elsewhere in the

configurations will be displayed on the screen.

CAPACITY – Input the full tank capacity.

CALIBRATION POINTS – Add calibration points for different tank levels. For a proper configuration at least two

calibration points are required.

For square shaped tanks we suggest two calibration points (full and empty).

For irregular shaped tanks, we suggest you input a third (the middle) point. The rest will be calculated by PICO on the fly.
