Changing the Volume from Gallons to Liters
In the above graphic, entering the 48" for the diameter and 120" for the
length of the round horizontal tank, the meter automatically calculates
that the volume of the tank is 940.02 gallons.

3. Go to the Program – Scale menu and press Enter until dis 2 is
shown on the main display.
4. Press Enter and change the display 2 value to 3558.4.
