Select first 7 digits of the Model Number (first 4 are signifi-
cant). Information is located on the nameplate mounted
on the side of transmitter housing.

value.
Sensor Offset
is the distance (+ or -) from the Sensor ref-
erence point (bottom of NPT thread or flange face, top of
BSP thread) to the top of the tank.

the
Tank Height
Tank Height
is measurement from the bottom to the top
of tank.
14
Block Dis
xxx.x units
Enter
the
Blocking Distance
Blocking Distance
defines an area near the antenna where
reflections can not be measured effectively due to antenna
ringing. It is measured from the
Sensor Reference
point.
Minimum value is set by choice of Antenna Type and is
calculated as antenna 2" (50 mm); larger values are
encouraged. Output will be held at value corresponding to
Blocking Distance
. Do not allow liquid on to the antenna.
15
LevlOfst
xxx.x units
Enter
the
Level Offset
Level Offset
defines an area at the bottom of the vessel
where reflections can not be measured effectively due to
angled bottoms, heating coils, reflections from flat metal
tank bottom in low dielectric applications, etc. It is the
distance from the bottom of the tank to the lowest valid
level reading. Level reading will never be lower than
Level Offset
value.
