BEP Marine TS1 Ultrasonic Tank Sender Programming Form
The BEP Marine TS1 will be programmed with the parameters according to the form below.
Linear tanks
For square or rectangular tanks, no changes are required and the default linear parameters will be accurate. Please complete the required fields (*) only.
Non linear tanks
Method 1: Percentage Volume Measurements
For volume programming the most accurate method requires emptying the tank. The maximum depth is measured and the tank is then filled with a know quantity of liquid and recorded at the 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% points of maximum depth.
Non linear tank volume measurement example:
Our tank has a capacity of 200 litres
Our tank has a maximum depth of 50 cm ( 500 mm), measured from the sender to the tank bottom. We need to record the volume at the 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% maximum depth points
- 20% maximum depth (20% of 500 mm = 100 mm fluid depth)
- 40% maximum depth (40% of 500 mm = 200 mm fluid depth)
- 60% maximum depth (60% of 500 mm = 300 mm fluid depth)
- 80% maximum depth (80% of 500 mm = 400 mm fluid depth)
We now slowly fill the tank and record the liquid volume at the required points, see our example results below. We can now calculate the percentage volume at the required points and enter them in the form below.
- Volume at 20% maximum depth (100 mm): 30 litres => Percentage volume 30/200 = 15%
- Volume at 40% maximum depth (200 mm): 50 litres => Percentage volume 50/200 = 25%
- Volume at 60% maximum depth (300 mm): 100 litres => Percentage volume 110/200 = 55%
- Volume at 80% maximum depth (400 mm): 150 litres => Percentage volume 150/200 = 75%
Method 2: Tank measurements
If emptying the tank is not possible, a reasonably accurate calculation can be made with the tank type capacity and dimensions. Please see the required measurements at the following link:
