If HART technology is used you can configure and monitor measurementdata via a hand held communicator or a PC.

For stand-alone systems, or as a complement to a PC or a control system,you can monitor level data using one or two analog outputs depending onthe particular hardware configuration.

As an option, your TankRadar Pro gauge can be equipped with an easy-to-use display panel. It offers basically the same functionality as the Pro Setupsoftware package. Four sturdy softkeys give you access to configurationroutines, service functions and level monitoring.

Saab TankRadar® Pro Introduction


Measurement PrincipleThe Saab TankRadar Pro transmitter sends a microwave signal with a con-tinuously varying frequency towards the liquid surface. When the reflectedsignal returns to the antenna, it is mixed with the outgoing signal.

Since the transmitter continuously changes the frequency of the transmit-ted signal, there will be a difference in frequency between the transmittedand the reflected signals.

The gauge mixes the two signals, resulting in a low frequency signal whichis proportional to the distance to the liquid surface. This signal can bemeasured very accurately allowing fast, reliable and accurate level measure-ments.

Saab TankRadar Pro uses an optimum microwave frequency, which reducessensitivity to vapour, foam and contamination of the antenna, and keepsthe radar beam narrow in order to minimize influence from walls anddisturbing objects.

Saab TankRadar Pro uses Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT), which is awell established signal processing technique, to obtain a frequency spec-trum of all echoes in the tank. From this frequency spectrum the surfacelevel is extracted. In combination with Saab´s echofixer, FFT allows meas-

urements in tanks with agitators, mixers and other disturbing objects.Saab´s echofixer provides a technique to adapt measurements to varioussituations, by using information from previous measurements.

To further improve measurement accuracy, Saab TankRadar Pro can utilizethe benefits of Saab´s Fast High Accuracy Signal Technique™(FHAST™).

Multiple Echo Tracking™ (MET™) is another advanced Saab TankRadarPro feature, which provides increased resolution in tanks with disturbingobjects. MET™ facilitates the separation of disturbances from the actualproduct surface echo.

Mounting the Cone Antenna in a Still-pipe/Bridle

The TankRadar Pro gauge is very suitable for measurements inbridles. The high signal processing capacity allows measurementseven when there are several pipe inlets.

Still-pipe or bridle mounting is recommended for LPG tanksand other applications where surface conditions may be ex-tremely turbulent. By using a pipe, foam and turbulence is re-duced.



To mount the transmitter:

1. The 3, 4, 6 and 8" antennas are de-signed to fit into corresponding pipes. Agap between the antenna opening andthe pipe of up to 10 mm may occur. InStill Pipes with small inlet pipes or noinlet pipes at all, the gap has no influ-ence on the measuring performance.

2. In pipes with inlet pipes in the order of2" or larger, or in pipes where severecontimanation can be expected, theantenna should be customized in orderto achieve optimum performance. In thiscase do the following:

1. Measure the inner diameter of thepipe.

2. Cut the cone antenna so that it fitsinside the Still Pipe.

3. Make sure that the gap between thepipe and the antenna is smaller than1 mm.



3. Mount the antenna and thetransmitter head in thesame way as a standardcone antenna.

4. Make sure that theinclination of the gaugeis less than 1°.

5. In order to minimize the influence ofdisturbing echoes from inlet and outletpipes you may need to rotate the trans-mitter head 90°.

Mounting an Extended Cone AntennaThe Extended Cone antenna is suitable for tanks with long nozzles or tankswhere measurements should be avoided in the region close to the nozzle.

Use the Extended Cone antenna if:

• the nozzle is high:

ANSI 3” antenna for nozzles higher than 250 mm,



• there is a rough surface at the inside of the nozzle.

• there are disturbing objects close to the tank opening, or

Disturbing objects closeto the tank nozzle.

Underground tankwith high nozzle.



1. Measure the total distance A betweenthe flange and the maximum productlevel.

2. The standard length of the ExtendedCone antenna is 500 mm. If the distanceA between the flange and the maximumproduct level is too small, the antennamust be cut to meet the followingspecifications:

• the distance between antenna andtank roof > 20 mm,

• the distance between the maximumproduct level and antenna > 30 mm,

• the antenna is cut with a slant openingof 15°.

Due to the slanting opening of the antenna,the direction of the radar beam is slightlychanged towards the short end of the an-tenna opening. If objects are present whichmay cause disturbing radar echoes, theantenna should be oriented in such a waythat the disturbing objects do not interferewith the radar signal.

Mounting the transmitter



4. When the transmitter is mounted, thefollowing antenna parameters must beadjusted by using the Pro Setup configu-ration software:

• Tank Connection Length (TCL),

• Hold Off (H) distance.

(See next page for more information on howto set the Hold Off distance and the TankConnection Length for a Cone Extensionantenna.

See also chapter 4 Pro Setup Software formore information on how to configure a Protransmitter).

3. Mount the antenna and transmitter headin the same way as a transmitter with astandard cone antenna.

Setting the Tank Connection Length (TCL)

To adjust the TCL value do the following:

1. Start the Pro Setup configuration software.

2. Select the Start Radar tab.

3. From the Antenna Type drop down list choose User Defined .

4. Enter the new TCL value.

Use the following formula to calculate the appropriate Tank Connection Length(TCL):

TCLext = TCLcone + K*(Lext - Lantenna ), (2)

where

TCLext = the TCL adjusted to the extended cone antenna.

TCLcone = the default TCL for a standard cone antenna without extension.Note that there are different TCL values for tank sealing PTFE andQuartz, see the table below.

Lext

= the length of the extended cone antenna.

Lantenna = the length of the standard cone antenna without extension.

K = a constant related to the antenna diameter.

CablesDepending on local requirements, cableglands or explosion proof conduits mustbe used for connection to the non-intrinsically safe junction box (EEx e).For the connection to the instrinsicallysafe junction box (EEx i) use cableglands with integral shield connectionfor cable diameter 6-12 mm or conduit.

Use shielded instrument cable 0.5 mm2

(AWG 20) for analog outputs and sericalcommunication.

SafetyThe TankRadar Pro enclosure is flame-proof and may not be opened while thetransmitter is energized and a flammableatmosphere is present. Saab Tank Con-trol will not take any responsibility forlocal regulations defining conditionswhen flameproof enclosures are allowedto be opened when energized.

Note! Make sure that you do not mixup intrinsically safe and non-intrincisally safe wires.

Power SupplyYou can use either DC or AC, depend-ing on what type power supply unit thatis installed in the transmitter. Nominalsupply voltage is:

• 24-48 VDC,

• 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.

See label on the transmitter housing forinformation on which supply voltage touse.

There is no voltage selector in the

electronics compartment since thetransmitter power supply unit automati-cally adapts to the available voltagewithin specified limits.

GroundingCENELECThe flameproof enclosure must beconnected to a potential equalizingnetwork or the tank shell or according tonational code of practice.

This grounding also serves as electricalsafety ground. Additional connection tothe protective ground terminal of termi-nal X1 in Junction Box EExe is notrecommended except where requiredaccording to national code of practice. Aground loop with circulating currentmay occur. See also the Special SafetyInstruction.

Installing a Pro TransmitterDo the following to install and configure a Pro transmitter:

1 Connect to a TankRadar PRO transmitter.

1 Select New Tank from the File menu in the Main window.

2 Enter a tank name to associate with the tank and click the OKbutton.

Response: the Tank Radar PRO Setup window is opened with theaddress tab active.



2 Enter protocol and address data.

1 In the Protocol box specify the protocol that you will use for theserial communication.

• Choose HART if your gauge is equipped with an analog outputand a HART interface (make sure that the HART interface iscorrectly installed according to the recommendations for activeand passive analog outputs, see Electrical Installation).

- or -

• Choose Saab Modbus if your gauge is equipped with a TRL/2Bus interface.

Make sure that the same protocol is chosen as was specified in theSelect COM port and Protocol window during the Pro Setup installa-tion (see section Installing the Pro Setup software).

If you need to change the current communication settings, (forexample if you have changed field bus interface), open theIO Master Server program and specify the appropriate communica-tion parameters (see section To change communication parametersettings).

2 Set the communication address. To set a new address you have toknow the current address or the Unit ID/Long Address (HART) toestablish communication with the gauge. The default address is 0for HART and 246 for Modbus.

4-8



To change the address, do the following:

1 Enter the Unit ID (Saab Modbus)/Long address (HART) in thecorresponding field. The Unit ID can be found on the label, seeChapter 3.

2 Enter the desired address in the Address field. For HART communi-cation use address 0.


If you know the old address you can establish communicationthe following way:1 Enter the address that is currently stored in the gauge (the default

address for a new gauge) into the address field.

2 Click the Read button.

Response: the Unit ID/Long Address is displayed.

3 Set the desired address.


If you do not know either of the Unit ID or the current address,do the following:

1 Click the Scan Search button. Pro Setup automatically scansthrough a range of possible addresses in order to find connecteddevices.

Note! For Modbus devices the scan may be very time consuming ifthe default address is still valid. Normally the scan starts at address0 for HART buses and address 1 for Saab Modbus. You can enterother start addresses in the Address field in order to reduce thescanning time.

This function may be useful if you want to find out which addressesthat are currently used by connected devices.

2 Stop the scanning when the correct device is found.

The scan continues until a device is found, or until the search isstopped by the operator.

3 Enter the desired address.


Now the address is stored in the gauge and will be used for thecommunication between the PC and the transmitter.



To change communication parameter settings:

1 Click the IO Master Server button in the Windows95/98/NT taskbar.

2 From the Format menu choose the Parameters option to view thecurrent communication parameter settings.

Note! See chapter 2 for information on how to configure the ExtendedCone Antenna.

5 In the Tank Environment and Presentation Standard tab there aretwo groups of parameters.In the Environment box mark the check boxes that correspond tothe conditions in your tank:

Rapid level changes optimizes the transmitter for measurementconditions where the level changes quicklydue to filling and emptying of the tank.

Turbulent Surface This parameter may be used if the tanke.g. contains boiling products causing aturbulent surface. By setting this param-eter the performance of the transmitter willbe improved when there are small andquickly changing amplitudes and levels.

Foam Setting this parameter optimizes the trans-mitter for conditions with weak and varyingsurface echo amplitudes.



Solid Products Setting this parameter optimizes the trans-mitter for products which are not transpar-ent for radar signals. The effect will bemore reliable handling of false echoesfrom beams.

For best performance you should not choose more than two op-tions.

In the Presentation box the following options are available:

Negative values Set this parameter if you want levels belowas Zero the reference point at the bottom of the

tank to be displayed as zero. This param-eter can be used if you have set a Cdistance in the tank geometry configura-tion (see the Configuration tab and chapterTank Distances).

Bottom Echo always Mark this check box if the tank shapevisible if empty tank allows bottom echoes to be detected. By

setting this parameter the bottom echo willbe treated as a disturbance echo to facili-tate tracking of weak surface echoes closeto the tank bottom. If this parameter is notset, searching for a lost surface echo isrestricted to a region close to the tankbottom (Related database register: Emptytank detection area, 1516).

Do not set this parameter if the bottomecho is not visible.

Slow Search This variable controls how to search forthe surface if a surface echo is lost. Withthis parameter set the transmitter startssearching for the surface at the last knownposition, and gradually increases the widthof the search region until the surface isfound. If this varaible is not set the trans-mitter searches through the whole tank.This parameter may typically be used fortanks with turbulent conditions.

Level above min If the surface echo is lost in the vicinity ofdistance possible the antenna, full tank is indicated and

searching for the surface echo is limited toa region close to the antenna.

Predicting allowed Improves the performance when filling oremptying a tank. Setting this parametermay reduce the time to detect a lost sur-face echo resulting in better tracking of amoving surface.

Bottom echo always See description of the Standard tabvisible if tank empty parameters.

Double bounce Some radar waves are reflected againstpossible the tank roof and back to the surface

before they are detected by the transmit-ter. Normally, these signals have a lowamplitude and are therefore neglected bythe transmitter. In some rare cases theamplitude may be strong enough to leadthe transmitter to interpret the doublebounce as the surface echo. By setting theDouble bounce parameter this type ofmeasurement situation may be improved.This function should only be used if theproblem of double bounces can not besolved by changing the mechanical instal-lation.Related database register:DoubleBounceOffset (1522).

Tank Presentation



Slow search See description of the Standard tabparameters.Related database register: SearchSpeed(1524).

Double surface Indicates that there are two liquids in thetank resulting in two reflecting surfaces.The upper liquid is must to be partlytransparent to the radar signal. If thisfunction is activated, you can specifywhich surface to ignore by setting theIgnore top surface parameter.

Ignore top surface This function should only be used ifDoubleSurface is set. See description ofDouble surface. If IgnoreTopSurface is setthe lower surface will be presented as theproduct surface.

Show negative values See description of the Standard tabas zero parameters.

Monotone ullage/level When a tank is filled the level value maypresentation fluctuate up and down due to a turbulent

surface. By setting this parameter thetransmitter will not present decreasinglevel values for a tank that is being filledunless the level decreases more than anamount given by the MonFilt Hysteresisparameter (holding register 1058).

For a tank that is being emptied onlydecreasing values are presented, unlessthe level rises more than an amount givenby the MonFilt Hysteresis parameter.

4-18



Invalid level is not set If the surface echo is lost close to the topif tank is full or empty or close to the bottom of the tank, the level

value full/empty will normally be displayedas “invalid”. Set this parameter to suppressthe “invalid“ display.

Note! By setting this parameter the analogoutput will not enter alarm mode for invalidlevels close to the tank bottom or close tothe antenna.

Click the Store button when all settings are finished.



4 Select the Configuration tab


Response: the current settings are displayed.

2 In the Tank Geometry box, enter values for Distance Offset (G),Tank Height (R) and Minimum Level Offset (C).

The Distance Offset (G) is defined as the distance between theupper reference point and the flange (the flange is referred to as theTank Radar Pro Reference Point). You can use G to specify yourown reference point at the top of the tank. Set G=0 if you want theflange as upper reference point. G is defined as positive if you usean upper reference point above the TR Pro Reference Point. Fortanks with an ullage plug for hand dipping the Tank Ullage Refer-ence Point (dipping mark) can be used as upper reference point,but you can use other reference points as well.

The Tank Height (R) is defined as the distance between the upperreference point (specified by the Distance Offset G) and the lowerreference point (zero level).

The Minimum Level Offset (C) is used to extend the measurementrange beyond the Zero Level Reference Point down to the tankbottom.The Minimum Level Offset C is defined as the distancebetween the zero level (Tank Level Reference Point) and the mini-

4-20



mum accepted level, i.e. the tank bottom. Set C=0 if you use thetank bottom as zero level reference point. Note that C can not benegative.

The Hold Off (H) distance defines how close to the TR Pro refer-ence point a level value is accepted. Normally the Hold Off dis-tance does not need to be changed. However, if there are disturbingechoes in the upper part of the tank, for example from the tanknozzle, you can increase the Hold Off distance in order to avoidmeasurements in the region close to the antenna.

The Calibration Distance is by default set to zero. It is used toadjust the transmitter so that measured levels match hand dippedproduct levels. Normally a minor adjustment is necessary. Theremay for example be a deviation between the actual tank height andthe value stored in the transmitter database.

See chapter 6: Tank Distances for further information on how to setthe tank geometry parameters.

Response: the current settings are displayed.

2 If your transmitter is equipped with a HART modem select theAnalog Out1 tab. (Analog Output 1 is not available when usingTRL2 Bus communication).

3 Select the source to control the analog output.

4 Enter the range values that correspond to the analog output values4 and 20 mA. You can specify any value as long as the Upper rangevalue is above the Lower range value. If the measured value goesbeyond the measurement range, the transmitter enters the alarmmode.

5 Choose the desired Alarm Mode . The Alarm Mode specifies theanalog output state when a measurement error occurs or when themeasured value is out of range.

• High: the output current is set to 22 mA.

• Low: the output current is set to 3.8 mA.

• Freeze Current: the output current is set to the present value atthe time when the error occurrs.

• Binary High: the output current is 4 mA under normal conditions.If there is a measurement error, or when the source signal is outof range, the output current is set to 20 mA.

• Binary Low: the output current is 20 mA under normal conditions.If there is a measurement error, or when the source signal is outof range, the output current is set to 4 mA.

Temperature Sensor Settings

Up to six temperature sensors can be connected to the Remote DisplayUnit (RDU40). All temperature sensors must be of the same type, forexample Pt100 or CU90. See Chapter 3 for information on how to con-nect the temperature sensors.

You can choose one of the following options for temperature measurementconversion method:

• DIN PT100

• CU90

• User Defined Linearization Table. The sensor characteristics isspecified in a table of corresponding resistance and tempera-ture values.

• User Defined Formula. The sensor characteristics is specifiedin a mathematical formula: R=R

0*(1+A*T+B*T2) where R is the

resistance at temperature T, R0 is the resistance at zero de-

grees Centigrade and A and B are constants.



2 Choose a tank shape.

Select one of the tank shape options. Choose None if you like tostop using volume calculations. Choose one of the ideal tank shapeoptions if approximation of your tank with an ideal tank shapeprovides sufficient accuracy. The strapping table option can beused for an arbitrary tank shape. You can enter levels and corre-sponding volumes to obtain a close match between the actual andthe calculated volume. This option should be used in cases wherethe tank shape deviates significantly from an ideal sphere or cylin-der, or when you require high accuracy.

Note! The Strapping Table option can be used only if it is in the list ofavailable software options in the Start Radar tab.

6 Volume Calculations

Pro Setup performs Volume Calculations by using one of twomethods: predefined tank shape or strapping table. The strap-ping table is an optional function. If it is not available a newStart Code can be ordered from Saab Tank Control.

To enable Strapping Table select the corresponding option in thePro Setup/Volume window.

To configure the TR Pro Transmitter for volume calculations dothe following:

1 Select the Volume tab

4-28



Ideal tank

Use this option if approximation of your tank with an ideal tankshape provides sufficient accuracy. Enter the follwoing parameters:

• Tank diameter (or the length if it is a horizontal tank).

• “Distance between zero volume and zero level mark”: set thisparameter if you do not want zero volume and zero level to match(for example if you want to include volume below the zero level).

• Enter levels and corresponding volumes starting at the bottom ofthe tank. These figures can typically be obtained from tank draw-ings or from certificate from the tank manufacturer. If the level/volume table is based on a reference point that is different fromyour reference point, you can adjust by adding corresponding offsetvalues in the Adjusting Offsets fields. The Adjusting Offset isadded to every value in the corresponding column.

• Select which interpolation method to use for calculating vol-umes between the strapping points. Normally, linear interpolation isthe preferred method. For spherical tanks, quadratic interpolationmay result in a smaller error. However, it may be necessary to tryboth methods in order to evaluate which one is best in your particu-lar case. By using linear interpolation and a sufficient number ofvalues in the strapping table, the interpolation error can normally bereduced to a minimum.

7 Disturbance Echo Handling

Pro Setup offers you powerful tools to handle disturbing echoes.The False Echo tab displays a list of echoes detected by the Protransmitter. To optimize measurement performance you canregister false echoes which are due to disturbing objects in thetank like beams, agitators and heating coils.

The Spectra-Threshold tab shows the amplitude of the meas-ured signal along the tank. This diagram is often used to obtainan overview of the conditions in the tank. You can use this dia-gram to set a general Amplitude Threshold level in order tofilter out disturbing noise. You can also design an AmplitudeThreshold which is a function of distance from the transmitterto the tank bottom.

4-30



Setting a general amplitude threshold1 Click the Read button.

Response: a spectrum is displayed showing the radar amplitude vs.distance from the gauge to the product surface (ullage).

Click the Update Picture button a few times to check that the signal isstable.

2 Set the general Amplitude Threshold.

Echoes with amplitudes below the general amplitude threshold will bedisregarded. Recommended threshold value:

Calm conditions: no turbulence, foam or condensation. Set amplitudethreshold to approximately 20% of surface echo amplitude.

Foam, agitators: check amplitude of surface echo when foam is presentor agitator is running. Set amplitude threshold to approximately 30% ofsurface echo amplitude.

Note that these figures are approximate estimations. Significantdeviations from these figures may be have to be used in many cases.

Creating a customized noise threshold tableYou can filter out weak disturbing echoes by creating a noise thresholdtable. This technique should only be used in special situations, forexample at the bottom of tanks with weak disturbing echoes. In suchtanks the transmitter may lock at disturbances close to the bottom whenthe tank is empty. Setting up a noise threshold in this region willguarantee that the transmitter starts following the surface when the tankis filled again.

Generalamplitudethreshold



To add points to the diagram:

1 Place the mouse pointer in the diagramat the position where you want to add apoint to the Amplitude Threshold curve.

2 Click the right-hand mouse button andselect Add point,

click the Add button in the Spectra-Threshold window.

Note ! The Amplitude Threshold Tabledisplays the position of the currentlyselected point, not the position of the added point.

To move points :

Select the point to be moved anddrag to desired position,

- or -

select the point and specify newposition and amplitude in the Ampli-tude threshold table.

To remove points:

1 Select the point to be removed.

2 Click the Delete button in the Spectra-Threshold window.

Do not create noise thresholds around echoes which are alreadyregistered as interfering echoes. The general amplitude thresholdis the lower limit of the noise threshold table:

The following examples illustrate how the Amplitude Thresholdtable can be used:

Example 1:

The amplitude threshold is used to remove the influence fromthe tank nozzle.

Example 2:

In this example the amplitude threshold is used to filter out weakdisturbances close to the tank bottom. By using this techniquethe risk of locking to a disturbance echo close to the tank bottomis eliminated. This technique is particularly useful in tanks withweak bottom echoes, like e.g. tanks with cone shaped outlets. Inthis case you should also make sure that the Tank Presentation/Bottom_echo_always_visible parameter is not set (see the de-scription of Start Radar tab).

Influencefromnozzle

Influence from pipe inside the tank



Registration of False Echoes

The False Echo function allows you to let the transmitter registerdisturbing echoes caused by objects in the tank. This makes itpossible to detect a product surface close to a disturbance echoeven if the surface echo is weaker than the disturbing echo.

1 Select the False Echo tab

2 Click the Read button to update the list of interfering echoes.

The right-hand list displays disturbances that was detected by thetransmitter. In order to optimize the measurement performance, youmay need to register interfering echoes as described below.

Note! Registration of disturbing echoes requires that Saab´s echofixer isenabled.

When should I register?

See the following recommendations before you register new interferingechoes:

• Make sure that a correct amplitude threshold is set before youregister any disturbance echoes. See description of the Spectra-Threshold window

• Keep the number of registered echoes to a minimum.

• Compare the list of interfering echoes with the tank drawing or byvisible inspection of the tank. Note if there are objects like beams,heating coils, agitators etc. which correspond to the found echoes.Only register echoes which can be clearly identified as objects inthe tank.

4-34



• Make sure that the level is stable before you register a disturbanceecho. A fluctuating level may indicate a temporary disturbancewhich is not due to an interfering object.

• Do not register a disturbing echo if the amplitude is below thegeneral amplitude threshold, see description of the Spectra-Thresh-old window.

• Do not register a disturbing echo if the amplitude is significantlysmaller than the amplitude of the surface echo when the surface isat the same level as the disturbance. (In some cases weak disturb-ing echoes can be filtered out by creating a noise threshold table,see description of the Spectra-Threshold window).

• It may be necessary to register new disturbance echoes at a laterstage when objects have become visible due to surface movement.

Example 3:

This example illustrates a signal spectrum resulting from a tankwith an agitator. The product level is slightly below the agitatorin this example. In a case like this it is recommended that thedisturbing echo is registered, in order to achieve reliable meas-urements when the product surface is passing the agitator. Ofcourse this is true also for disturbing echoes resulting from othertypes of objects.

SurfaceAgitator



Response: the echo is displayed in the table of Registered echoes.

2 Click the Add Echo button.

3 Repeat step 2 until all echoes that you want to register as interferingechoes (see recommendations on the previous page) are added tothe left table (Registered echoes).

4 When you have finished the registration of disturbing echoes, clickthe Close button to close the window.

To register interfering echoes do the following:

1 Select an echo from the list of Interfering Echoes.

To manually add items to the list of registered disturbing echoes

You can manually enter disturbing echoes which are not present inthe list of automatically detected echoes. This function can beuseful if there are objects below the product surface which can notbe detected by the gauge at the time of installation.

To manually add echoes do the following:

1 Enter an ullage value in the Location field. The entered value maydeviate up to 100 mm from the actual position of the object.

2 Click the Insert button.

Using the Set As Surface button

5. Select the Calibration option from the Advanced Setup menu.

The tank calibration distances are defined as illustrated below.

1 Set the Distance Offset (G).

The Distance Offset is defined as thedistance between the upper referencepoint and the flange (the flange is re-ferred to as the Tank Radar Pro Refer-ence Point). You can use G to specifyyour own reference point at the top of thetank. Set G=0 if you want the flange asupper reference point. G is defined aspositive if you use an upper referencepoint above the TR Pro Reference Point.For tanks with an ullage plug for handdipping the Tank Ullage Reference Point(dipping mark) can be used as upper reference point, but you canuse other reference points as well

2 The Tank Height (R) is defined as the distance between the upperreference point (specified by the Distance Offset G) and the lowerreference point (zero level).

3 Set the Minimum Level (C).

The Minimum Level Offset is always positive and is defined as thedistance between the zero level (Tank Level Reference Point) andthe minimum accepted level. Normally you set the C distance inorder to extend the measurement range to the tank bottom.



4 Set the Calibration Distance. It should normally be set to zero butcan be used to compensate for systematic errors due to e.g. distur-bances from the tank nozzle. This may be the case if the gauge ismounted in a nozzle which does not conform to the free spacerequirements.

Note! See chapter Tank Distances for further information on how to setthe tank geometry parameters.

The following steps are only applicable when a non-standardantenna is used.

5 Set the Holdoff Distance (H). The Hold Off distance defines howclose to the RTG reference point a level value is accepted. Normallythe Hold Off distance does not need to be changed. However, ifthere are disturbing echoes in the upper part of the tank, for ex-ample from the tank nozzle, you can increase the Hold Off distancein order to avoid measurements in the region close to the antenna.

6 Set the Tank Connection Length TCL. This value is set automati-cally when you use one of the standard antennas.

6. Select the Analog output1 option from the Advanced Setup menu (Optional).

If the gauge is equipped with an analog output, the range of theoutput is automatically calibrated to match the tank calibration (Gand R). If you want to change this setting, do the following:

• Enter Source . Available options are: level, level rate, ullage,signal strength and volume.

• Enter the analog output values that correspond to 4 mA and 20mA , respectively.

• Select Alarm mode .- Select High if you want the analog output to lock on a valuehigher than 20 mA when an error is encountered.- Use Low if you want it to lock on a value below 4 mA.- The Hold Last option freezes the analog output to the currentvalue when an alarm is triggered.

• DA Trim . Use this option to calibrate the Digital/Analog Converterto correspond to the nominal values 4 mA and 20 mA.

Note! The analog output is set to fixed current mode during thecalibration procedure.

To calibrate the DAC do the following:

1 Choose the D/A Trim option.

2 Click the OK button if you want to continue, (or click the CNCLbutton to quit without calibrating the D/A converter).

Response: the analog output is set to 4 mA.

6 Tank DistancesDefinitions

The Distance Offset (G) is defined as the distance between theupper reference point and the flange (the flange is referred to asthe Tank Radar Pro Reference Point). You can use G to specifyyour own reference point at the top of the tank. Set G=0 if youwant the flange as upper reference point. G is defined as positiveif you use an upper reference point above the TR Pro ReferencePoint. For tanks equipped with an ullage plug for hand dippingthe Tank Ullage Reference Point (dipping mark) can be used asupper reference point, but you can use other reference points aswell.

Saab TankRadar® ProTank Distances


The Tank Height (R) is defined as the distance between theupper reference point (specified by the Distance Offset G) andthe lower reference point (zero level).

If no datum plate or zero level exist the tank bottom usually isused as zero reference point. In this case C=0.

The Minimum Level Offset (C) is always positive and is definedas the distance between the zero level (Tank Level Reference Point)and the minimum accepted level. Normally you set the C dis-tance in order to extend the measurement below your zero refer-ence point.

The Hold Off (H) distance defines how close to the TR Proreference point a level value is accepted. Normally the Hold Offdistance does not need to be changed. However, if there aredisturbing echoes in the upper part of the tank, for examplefrom the tank nozzle, you can increase the Hold Off distance inorder to avoid measurements in the region close to the antenna.
