Volume (Or Flow) P050 To P055 - Siemens SITRANS Probe LU Operating Instructions Manual

Notes:
• Setting P006 will reset Span, if it has not previously been set to a different value.
• The default setting for Span is based on Operation (P001) and Empty (P006). Span is
set to Empty minus 110% of Blanking
(P001 = 3). In this case, Span is set to Empty distance.
• Always prevent the monitored surface from approaching within 0.3 m (1 ft) of the
transducer face. This provides a 0.05 m (2") safety margin, as the minimum
detectable distance is 0.25 m (10").
P010 Language
Selects the language used for the auxiliary reading on the display.

If a language is selected, parameter titles for the Quick Start parameters are displayed.

Volume (or Flow) P050 to P055

Set SITRANS Probe LU to calculate readings based on reservoir volume instead of level:
see P050 Vessel (or Channel) Shape on page 35 for details on displaying flowrate.
1. Operation must be set to Level (P001 = 1).
2. Select a vessel shape matching the monitored vessel (P050).
3. If required, add dimensions A or L (as shown in the chart on page 36), using P052
and P053,
or, if vessel shape 9 is selected, add level and volume breakpoints in P054 and P055.
4. Enter the value for the maximum vessel volume in P051.
5. Return to RUN mode: readings are now displayed in volumetric units. To select
PERCENT, press
Maximum Volume.
1.
Blanking distance is 0.25 m (10").
