Example: Volumetric Setting for a Horizontal Cylindrical Tank
Gallons of diesel fuel need to be displayed in a horizontal cylindrical tank.
The dimensions of the tank are 11 ft. span, 10 ft. length and a radius of 5 ft. To
convert the volume (cubic feet) to gallons requires a multiplier of 7.4805. If
relay and analog outputs were to be used, they must be programmed in gallons.
To program the DCR-1006 for this application, the following modes must be
changed from their preset values.
MODE VALUE DESCRIPTION
1 2 Set units to feet.
2 0 Set the decimal to the right to prevent display overflow.
3 2 Select Volume Monitoring for application.
28 2 Set the tank type to 2 for horizontal tank.
29 7 Converting ft. 3 to gallons, multiplier above decimal point.
30 4805 Converting ft. 3 to gallons, multiplier below decimal point.
31 11.00 Set the distance from the DST to the bottom of the tank.
32 10.00 Set the length of the tank.
34 5.00 Set the tank radius of 5 ft.
