Quick Start: local
Level application example
The application is a vessel that takes an average 3 hours (180 minutes) to fill and 3 weeks
to empty.
Fill rate = 0.08 m/minute [(Low Cal Pt. minus High Cal Pt.) / fastest of fill or empty time]
= (15.5 m – 1 m) / 180 min.
= 14.5 m /180 min. = 0.08 m/min.
Therefore SLOW response rate (0.1 m/minute) can be selected.
Quick Start Parameter Setting Description
Vessel STEEL Selects vessel construction material.
Response Rate SLOW Resets Fill Rate/ Empty Rate to 0.1 m/minute.
Units M Sensor measurement units.
Operation LEVEL (1) Material level referenced from Low Cal. Point.
Low Calibration Point 15.5 Process empty level.
High Calibration Point 1.0 Process full level.
