ABCs of fill level technology ABCs of fill level technology ABCs of fill level technology ALARM CONTACT Depending on the version, the devices in the LevelController series have one to three alarm contacts to trigger a visual or acoustic alarm, for example, if a certain fill level is exceeded or fallen short of. Further details can be found in the operating instructions for the devices. Key terms, explained simply What does "Zero point adjustment" mean and what is a "Waveguide" required for?

It answers frequently asked questions and explains common terms — do drop by, we look forward to seeing you there!” (MOUNTING) OFFSET In hydrostatic measuring devices, the offset refers to the vertical distance between the tank bottom and the position of the fill level probe. In the case of ultrasonic devices, the mounting offset refers to the vertical distance between the mounting position of the device and the maximum fill level in the tank. Further details can be found in the operating instructions for the devices. 4G, 2G With a few exceptions, our tank gauges transmit their data via the 2G or 4G mobile network. 2G has almost 100% network coverage in most regions and will continue to be available in the long term. More and more markets are only using 4G. Our 4G devices have a fallback mechanism to the 2G mobile standard if the 4G network has gaps. ZERO POINT ADJUSTMENT For hydrostatic measuring devices in the LevelController series, a zero point adjustment can be carried out before installing the level probe in the tank in order to further increase the measurement accuracy. Further details can be found in the operating instructions for the devices. 20 MAXIMUM TANK HEIGHT For the correct functioning of our tank gauges, the maximum fill level in the tank must be determined and entered on the devices or in the myTecalemit cloud. As a tank is never filled to 100%, the maximum fill level is lower than the tank height. The maximum fill level can be found in the accompanying documentation for the tank. DENSITY For hydrostatic measuring instruments of the LevelController and TecLevel series, the density of the medium to be measured must be entered as accurately as possible on the instruments or in the myTecalemit cloud. Typical density values are, for example, 1,000 g/l for water, 840 g/l for diesel fuel or heating oil and 1,090 g/l for aqueous urea solution/AdBlue®. Exact values can be found in the manufacturer’s data sheets. ABBREVIATIONS TS AND PS Our LevelController series uses different forms of the hydrostatic measuring principle. TS stands for the German word "Tauchsonde" (immersion probe). This is used to measure the pressure at the bottom of the tank and determine the fill level. The PS stands for “Pressure Sensor”. Here, compressed air is blown into the sensor via a hose (see beading procedure) and the overpressure is measured. Waveguide Our ultrasound devices require a free area between the device and the surface of the liquid in order to function properly. In installation situations in which the ultrasonic signal is disturbed by fittings (e.g. suction lines) or tank walls, the waveguide can be used as a “guide” for the ultrasonic signal. The waveguide guides the waves for an optimal measurement result. www.tecalemit.de/en 21
