Edition 2. Ref. No: 306010E
The Tank Height (R) is defined as the distance between the
upper reference point (specified by the Distance Offset G) and
the lower reference point (zero level).
If no datum plate or zero level exist the tank bottom usually is
used as zero reference point. In this case C=0.
The Minimum Level Offset (C) is always positive and is defined
as the distance between the zero level (Tank Level Reference Point)
and the minimum accepted level. Normally you set the C dis-
tance in order to extend the measurement below your zero refer-
ence point.
The Hold Off (H) distance defines how close to the TR Pro
reference point a level value is accepted. Normally the Hold Off
distance does not need to be changed. However, if there are
disturbing echoes in the upper part of the tank, for example
from the tank nozzle, you can increase the Hold Off distance in
order to avoid measurements in the region close to the antenna.
