Vessel Dimension L (2.7.1.4.)
Length of the cylindrical section of a horizontal parabolic end vessel. See Vessel Shape
(2.7.1.1.) for an illustration.
Values Range: 0.0 to 99.99 m
Default: 0.0
Related Parameters Units (2.2.1.)
Vessel Shape (2.7.1.1.)
Table 1-8 (2.7.2.)
Note
Linearization Table must be selected in Vessel Shape (2.7.1.1.) in order for level/volume values
to be transferred.
If your vessel shape is more complex than any of the preconfigured shapes, you can define the
shape as a series of segments. A value is assigned to each level breakpoint and a
corresponding value is assigned to each volume breakpoint. Level values are defined in Units
(2.2.1.). Volume units are defined by the user but are not explicitly stated in the SITRANS
LR250.
Level Values Range: 0.0 to span
Span = High Calibration Pt. (2.3.2.) - Low Calibration Pt. (2.3.1.)
Default: 0.0
Volume Values Range: 0.0 to Maximum Volume (2.7.1.2.)
Default: 0.0
Enter up to 32 level breakpoints, where the corresponding volume is known. The values
corresponding to 100% and 0% levels must be entered. The breakpoints can be ordered from
top to bottom, or the reverse.
Breakpoints are grouped into four tables: Table 1-8, Table 9-16, Table 17-24, and Table 25-32.
Entering breakpoints via the handheld programmer:
1. The default unit for level values is m: to change it navigate to Setup (2.) > Sensor (2.2.) >
Units(2.2.1.), and select the desired unit.
2. Navigate to Setup (2.) > Linearization (2.7.) > Maximum Volume (2.7.1.2.), and enter the
value.
3. Go to the appropriate table for the particular breakpoint you wish to adjust: for example, go
to Table 1-8 for breakpoint 1.
4. Under Table 1-8, go to Level 1 (2.7.2.1.) to enter the level value for the breakpoint 1.
5. Under Table 1-8, go to Volume 1 (2.7.2.2.) to enter the volume value for the breakpoint 1.
6. Repeat steps 3 to 5, until values have been entered for all required breakpoints.
