Volume Units (1 to 7) (40403)
Determine the units of measure for all volumetric Application Types.
1 = Cubic Feet 4 = Cubic Meter 7 = Barrels
2 = Million Cubic Feet 5 = Liters
3 = Gallons 6 = Cubic Inches
Decimal Place (0 to 3) (40404)
Set the number of digits after the decimal place to be included in the calculated
reading (Input registers 30303-30304 and 30305-30306)
Example: a measurement of 1126.658 will be returned as follows:
Decimal Place = 0 Volume = 1127
Decimal Place = 1 Volume = 11267
Decimal Place = 2 Volume = 112666
Decimal Place = 3 Volume = 1126658
*Maximum Distance (0 to 10364 mm) (40405)
Sets the distance, beginning from the zero reference, to where the sensor will
stop looking for a float signal (usually the bottom of the stem).
*Full Distance (0 to 10364 mm) (40406)
Sets the distance, beginning from the zero reference, to the point where the
tank is considered full (usually set to match the Blanking--see next page).
*Empty Distance (0 to 10364 mm) (40407)
Sets the distance, beginning from the zero reference, to the bottom of the stem
OR the bottom of the tank, whichever is considered the empty level.
Parameter Data (0 to 100,000 mm) (40436 to 40445)
The Parameter Data registers are used to enter tank dimensions or conversion
multipliers for all the volumetric Application Types (types 2-11). Refer to the
individual Application Types for more information.
