Chapter 4 Set up Additional Measurements
As described in Chapter 3, the primary measurement (measurement #1) is set up as either
level or distance using the “Set up level,...” menu. Up to seven additional measurements
can be set up using the “Set up additional measurements” menu. You can use these
measurements to drive a variety of alarms and current outputs to meet the needs of your
processing procedures.
To reach the “Set up additional measurements” menu from the measurement display, press
→ twice. Then press ↓ to enter the menu.
The first time you access the “Set up Additional Measurements” menu, the “Assign & set
up measurement 2” menu will appear. Measurement 1 is assigned to the primary
measurement (distance or level) by default. After measurement 2 is set up, the next time
you scroll through this menu item, it will read “Modify setup of measurement 2.” You will
then be able to “Assign & setup measurement 3,” and so on, up to a maximum of eight
measurements.
The following sections describe the “Set up additional measurements” menu items. The
tables at the end of this Chapter show the individual menu items and the sequence in which
they are displayed.
Selecting Measurement Type
The “Reading presented by measurement # is” menu item allows you to specify the desired
measurement type. Available measurements include:
• distance (outage)
• level
• volume
• ullage (empty volume)
• percent full
• percent empty
• percent distance
• per cent level
• signal strength (sig str)
• mass
• rate
• special measurements, for service diagnostics
Note: Volume related measurements (volume, ullage, % full, % empty, and mass)
are not available for selection until “Tank volume setup” has been
completed under the “Set up Level, Level Alarms, and Volume” menus.
Special measurements are only available when “Service only items” are
enabled (see “Special Functions” on page 8-19).
