1. Getting Started
1.1 What is TankMaster?
TankMaster is a software package for installation and configuration of

level gauging equipment. The TankMaster program package provides
you with powerful and easy-to-use tools for installation and configuration
of level gauging devices. Devices such as radar transmitter gauges, data
acquisition units and field communication units can easily be installed.
TankMaster is designed to be used in the Microsoft® Windows XP

environment providing easy access to measurement data from your
Local Area Network.
The TankMaster system allows you to use various protocols such as

Saab TRL/2 Modbus, RS232 and RS485 for connection to Local Area
Networks (LAN) and host computers. You can easily change settings of
protocols, devices and tanks at any time.
The graphical interface gives you a clear overview of installed devices

and tanks. For each tank you can easily see the associated transmitters
and data acquisition units.
Measured data is presented in real-time and you can customize the view
of tank data to suit your needs.
Key Features
• Monitoring of measured data.
• Clear overview of installed tanks and devices.
• Simple installation by using “wizards”.
• Open connectivity.
• Object oriented user friendly Graphical User Interface.

1.2 TankMaster Software Package
Saab TankMaster comprises the following software modules:
• WinOpi
• WinSetup
• Tank Server
• Master Protocol Servers
• Slave Protocol Server
TankMaster Setup
Tank Server
Master Protocol Server Slave Protocol Server
COM1 COM2
WinOpi is the operator´s interface to the Saab Rosemount Tank Gauging

system. It communicates with the Tank Server and the different protocol
servers to let the user monitor measured tank data. WinOpi also provides
alarm handling, batch report, automatic report handling, historical data
sampling as well as inventory calculations like volume, observed density
and other parameters.
The WinSetup program is a graphical user interface for installation,

configuration and service of level gauging devices.
The Tank Server communicates with devices via the Master protocol
server and handles configuration data for all the installed tanks and
devices. Tank and device names, configuration data like antenna type,

User’s Guide
number of connected temperature sensors and analog inputs and many

other parameters are stored by the Tank Server. The Tank Server
collects measured data from connected devices and provides these data
to the WinOpi/WinSetup user interface.
The Master Protocol Server transfers configuration data and measured

data between the Tank Server and connected devices in a Saab Tank
Control system. The Master Protocol Server is able to communicate with
various types of devices such as Radar Tank Gauges (RTGs), Field
Communication Units (FCUs) and Data Acquisition Units (DAUs) to
collect measured data like for example level, temperature and pressure.
The Slave Protocol Server is used to connect the TankMaster system to

a host computer (DCS system). The Slave Protocol Server exchanges
tank data between the Tank Server and the host computer.

1.4 Installing a Tank Level Gauging System
Setting up a Tank Level Gauging system is based on two main activities:
• Tank installation.
• Device installation.
Tank installation
Tank installation includes specifying tank type, specifying which

transmitter to associate to the tank and which source signals to use as
input for various tank parameters.
Device installation
Device installation includes tasks like configuration of field bus

communication, specifying tank height and other geometrical
parameters, specifying type of antenna to be used, configuration of
temperature sensors, relays, pressure sensors and other external
devices.
Wizards
In order to facilitate the installation process, TankMaster WinSetup

guides you through the installation procedure by using so called
“wizards”. When you have started a wizard, WinSetup automatically
walks through a step-by-step procedure which lets you focus on the
important issues rather than trying to remember what to do next. The
Online Help provides information for each step in case you need further
assistance.

3. Installing a Level Gauging System
3.1 Overview
Before starting to install a Saab Rosemount Tank Gauging system you

should make sure that the following information is available:
• A plan of all the devices and tanks. Note the Unit Id of each device
and all the communication addresses to be used (the Unit Id is a
unique identity given to each RTG, FCU and DAU at manufactur-
ing).
• All relevant reference distances like tank height, distance between

Zero level and tank bottom etc.
To install a level gauging system you should follow the procedure

described below:
1 Communication Protocol Setup
Specify communication protocol parameters:
• The Master Protocol handles the communication between the

TankMaster PC and field devices such as the Field Communica-
tion Unit (FCU).
• The Slave Protocol is used for communication with a host com-

puter.
• If you want to supervise the communication on the bus you can

specify the type of errors, function codes etc. to be logged.
2 Preferences

Chapter 3: Installing a Level Gauging System July 2005
3 Install and Configure the Field Communication Unit (FCU)
If the system contains a FCU it has to be installed and configured before

other devices like RTGs and DAUs. To install a FCU you need to:
• Assign an address.
• For each communication port, choose protocol and set the appro-
priate communication parameters.
• Configure the slave database which holds information about the

devices connected to the field bus.
4 Tank and Device installation and configuration
You can choose one of two methods when installing tanks and devices:
Alternative 1: Start by installing the tanks. In this case devices are

installed as part of the tank installation procedure.
Alternative 2: Start by installing and configuring the devices. When the

devices are installed, continue with installing the tanks and associate the
tanks to the appropriate devices.
Tank Installation
Installing a tank includes the following steps:
Choose tank type Select one of the available options like Cylinder, Floating
roof, Sphere LPG, Horizontal LPG etc.
Set a tank tag Specify a name to be used as an identifier in the
Workspace window and other windows.
Select devices Associate devices to the tank.
Configuration Specify the available source signals for parameters like
Free Water Level, Vapor Pressure and Liquid Pressure.
Value Entry If you want to disconnect automatic measurement for
some parameter, you can specify a manual value to be
used instead. You can also specify a value range to each
measured variable.

Device Installation
Installing a device includes the following steps:
Communication Specify protocol and address.

Configuration Specify tank distances, geometrical distances related to
the transmitter, external sensors like temperature
sensors and other parameters depending on what type of
device that is installed.
5 Calibration
When a Rex 3900 transmitter is installed and configured you need to

adjust the Calibration Distance (the Tank Connection Length for TRL/2
RTG 2900), in order to match measured level and actual product level.
This adjustment should be performed once at the final commissioning
and normally does not need to be repeated unless tank conditions are
changed.

Minimum Distance
You can specify a region between the product surface and a certain level
below the surface, in which spot sensors will not be included in the

Minimum distance
These sensors are not

included in the average
temperature calculation
The width of this region is specified by setting the Minimum Distance.
This function may be useful if the temperature of the atmosphere above

the product significantly deviates from the temperature of the product
itself, resulting in large temperature gradients close to the product
surface. By setting a Minimum Distance, temperature elements within
this region can be excluded from average temperature calculations.
This function can also be used to compensate for inaccuracies in the

measured sensor positions, in order to make sure that temperature
sensors above the product surface are not included in the average
temperature calculation. If for example the position of the temperature
sensors is measured within an accuracy of 10 mm, setting the minimum
distance to at least 10 mm will guarantee that sensors above the surface
are not included in the average temperature calculations.

First and second set points
The first and second set points define the transitions between Zone 1, 2
and 3. You can set different relay states in each of these zones.
Hysteresis
When the source variable passes a set point, the relay switches from
one state to the other. If a hysteresis zone is specified, the relay remains
in the new state even if the source signal returns back to a value within
the previous zone. Thus, the actual set point is given by the combination
of set point (First Point/Second Point) and the value given in the
Hysteresis input field (see Relay Functions later in this chapter).
Relay states
There are three relay states available:
Alarm In this state the relay is de-energized. Depending on how

the relays are connected to X2-X3 (relay 1) and X4-X5
(relay 2) on the Relay Output Card (ROC), they will be
either open or closed in the de-energized state.
Note that a relay defined as Normally Open will be open
in the Alarm state.
If the relay is configured as Normally Closed it will be
closed in the Alarm state.

The relay output can be selected as either Normally Open or Normally

Closed referring to the contact position when the relay is de-energized.
This also refers to the Alarm (Reset) state. By connecting relay 1 to
connector X2 on the Relay Output Card (ROC), the relay is set as
Normally Closed. Connecting to X3 sets the relay as Normally Open.
See the TRL/2 Installation Manual for further information.
The relay terminology can be summarized the following way:
Normally Closed Normally Open
Closed Open Open Closed
De-energized Energized De-energized Energized
Not Active Active Not Active Active
Alarm (Reset) Normal Alarm (Reset) Normal
Example
You want relay 1 to be Open during normal operation and to be Closed

when in alarm mode. This means that the relay is de-energized when
there is an alarm and consequently the relay has to be connected as
Normally Closed. On the Relay Output Card this corresponds to the X2

Relay Functions
You can use one or two set points for relays connected to the Rex
transmitter. Consequently, there are two or three zones in which different
relay states can be specified. For each zone you can set any of the three
available relay states Normal, Alarm or Toggle.
For each set point you can specify a hysteresis zone preventing the relay
from switching back to its previous state as long as the source variable is
changed only small amounts around a certain set point. The principle of
relay set points and hysteresis zones is shown in the figure below. Note
that in this example only two states are used:

1 The source value passes set point one, and the relay state is changed
according to the definition for Zone 1.
2 The relay state is changed back to the Zone 2 state when the source
value passes the set point as given by the hysteresis value.
3 The source value passes set point two and the relay state is changed
according to the definition for Zone 3.
4 The relay switches back to the Zone 2 relay state when the source value
passes set point two as given by the corresponding hysteresis value.

Hart Devices Configuration
Up to three HART slaves can be connected to Analog Input 1 using

address 1-3, see Rex Installation Manual. In this case the current is set
to 4 mA.
In Analog Current mode only one HART slave is allowed. In this case
address 0 must be used.
To configure connected devices using the HART protocol click the HART
Devices button in the RTG Rex Configuration window.
A Rex gauge can act as a master interfacing up to three HART devices

(slaves) in a multidrop configuration connected to Analog Input 1. When
two or three HART slaves are connected short address 1-3 must be
used.
The HART Devices Configuration window lets you specify an identifier

for each HART slave.
If the transmitter is connected to an FCU, check that the Slave Database

is configured with the correct number of HART slaves. See chapter 3.4

3.8.5 Step 5: Tank Distances
Tank Reference Height (R)
The Tank Reference Height (R) is the distance from the hand dipping
nozzle (Tank Reference Point) to the Zero Level (Dipping Datum Plate)
close to or at the bottom of the tank.
Rex Reference Distance (G)
The RTG Reference Distance (G) is the distance between the Tank
Reference Point and the RTG Reference Point, which is located at the
top surface of the customer’s flange or manhole cover on which the
gauge is mounted. For Still Pipe Gauges the RTG Reference point is
located at the hand-dip mark on the Still Pipe Gauge Stand.
G is positive if the Tank Reference Point is located above the RTG Ref
Point. Otherwise G is negative.
Minimum Level Distance (C)
The Minimum Level Distance (C) is defined as the distance between the
Zero Level (Dipping Datum Point) and the Minimum Level of the product
surface (tank bottom). By specifying a C-distance, the measuring range
can be extended to the bottom of the tank. If C>0, negative level values
will be displayed when the product surface is below the Zero Level.
Select the Show negative level values as zero check box if you want
levels below the Zero Level to be displayed as Level=0.
If you set the C-distance=0, measurements below the Zero Level will not
be approved, i.e. the RTG will report an invalid level.

3.8.6 Step 6: RTG Geometry
Tank Connection Length (TCL)
The Tank Connection Length (TCL) is specified for each antenna

individually. Each standard antenna has a predefined TCL value which
does not correspond to the physical length of the Tank Connection. TCL
can only be changed for antenna type User Defined (see the Rex
Configuration window). If you chose one of the predefined antennas in
the Rex Configuration window, you can calibrate the transmitter by
adjusting the Calibration Distance.
Hold Off Distance/UFM
The Hold Off distance/UFM defines how close to the RTG Reference
Point a level value is accepted. Normally the Hold Off distance does not
need to be changed. However, if there are disturbing echoes in the upper
part of the tank, for example from the tank nozzle, you can increase the
Hold Off distance in order to avoid measurements in the region close to
the antenna.
Calibration Distance
Use this variable to adjust the transmitter so that measured product

levels match hand dipped levels. Normally a minor adjustment is
necessary when the gauge is installed due to, for example, a minor
deviation between the actual tank height and the value stored in the
transmitter database.

Relays
A maximum of four relays can be connected to an Independent DAU.

The relays can be activated by the level measured by the associated
RTG, or by any of the parameters measured by the Independent DAU
itself.
A hysteresis zone can be defined for each relay. In this zone the relay
can be either activated or deactivated, depending on the previous state.
If, for example, the level is selected as the parameter and Energize is set
to 16 m and De-energize is set to 18 m, the relay will be activated when
the level drops below 16 m and deactivated when the level rises above
18 m.
By setting the Energize and the De-energize parameters to different

values, there will be a hysteresis zone in which either relay state is
possible, depending on the relay state before the source signal entered
this zone. The opposite will hold true if the De-energize value is larger
than the Energize value.
The relays can be set to Normally Open or Normally Closed by setting

jumpers within the Independent DAU, please see the TRL/2 Installation

tank nozzle.
Lower Filter Margin
The Lower Filter Margin (LFM) should normally be equal to zero.

However, you can use LFM to make levels below the Zero Level to be
presented as zero. This is done by setting LFM equal to the distance
between the Zero Level and the Minimum Level (tank bottom). In this
case the C-distance must be set to zero.

Summary of measurements below the Zero Level
There are three typical situations that apply for measurements close to
the tank bottom:
1 No measurements occur below the Zero Level. In this case there

is no need to specify how levels below the Zero Level should be
presented.
2 The product surface may drop below the Zero Level. You want to
present these levels as negative values in order to see the actual
position of the product surface.
3 The product surface may drop below the Zero Level but you don’t
need to know the actual surface level. In this case you may
present levels below the Zero Level as Level=0.
Case 1.
C=0, LFM=0.
If no measurements are done below the Zero Level both C and LFM can
be set equal to zero. In this case measurements below the Zero Level
will not be approved, i.e. the RTG will report an invalid level.
Case 2.
C>0, LFM=0.
By using the C-distance parameter, the measuring range is increased to

the bottom of the tank, and negative levels below the Zero level (Dipping
Datum Plate) are presented.
Case 3.
C=0, LFM>0.
By using the LFM parameter, the measuring range can be increased to

the bottom of the tank. In this case all levels below the Zero level
(Dipping Datum Plate) are presented as equal to zero. This may be
useful if you are not interested in actual level values below the Zero
Level but you still don’t want the transmitter to present invalid

To configure a User Defined antenna
The User Defined option should only be used in special situations when
non-standard antennas are used.
1 Choose the appropriate antenna type.
2 For a still-pipe, enter the inner diameter in the Pipe Diameter field.
3 Specify TCL and Hold Off Distance in the RTG Geometry window,
see chapter 3.8.6 Step 6: RTG Geometry.
When the Cone Antenna or the Parabolic Antenna is used, the pipe
diameter is automatically set to -0.1 m since this parameter is irrelevant
for these antennas.
Note! Except for Still-Pipe gauges the User Defined options should only be
used in special situations when non-standard antennas are used.

Temperature Sensor Configuration
In the Pro Configuration window click the Temp Input button to configure
type, range and position of the temperature sensors.
Sensor Type
You can choose between the following sensor types:
• Spot DIN Pt100.
• Cu90 (average measurement)
• User-defined. The characteristics is specified by a mathematical

formula or a linearization table. (See chapter 8.3 User Defined
Conversion of Resistance to Temperature for more information
about specifying a user-defined sensor type).
Make sure that you choose the correct sensor type. For Spot and
Multiple Spot temperature elements you have to choose the Spot Pt100
sensor type in order to obtain a correct average temperature calculation.
Sensor Range
Define the sensor temperature range.
3-112
User’s Guide
Sensor Position
The sensors are numbered from the bottom of the tank and upwards.
Enter the position of each sensor, measured as the distance from the
Zero Level (Dipping Datum Plate) to the temperature element. If you use
average temperature elements enter the position of the terminating level
of each sensor element.
Note! The number of available sensors is specified in the Pro Configuration

window.
Average Temperature Calculation
Select the Exclude From Average Calculation check box if you want to
exclude a certain spot element from the average temperature
calculation. This may be useful if, for example, the temperature close to
the surface or close to the bottom of the tank deviates significantly from
the temperature in the rest of the tank. This may also be accomplished
by setting an appropriate value of the Minimum Distance parameter.
Note! A faulty temperature sensor is blocked automatically, and consequently

excluded from average temperature calculations.

Minimum Distance
You can specify a region between the product surface and a certain level
below the surface, in which spot sensors will not be included in the
average temperature calculation.
Product surface
Minimum distance
These sensors are not

included in the average
temperature calculation
The width of this region is specified by setting the Minimum Distance.
This function may be useful if the temperature of the atmosphere above

the product significantly deviates from the temperature of the product
itself, resulting in large temperature gradients close to the product
surface. By setting a Minimum Distance, temperature elements within
this region can be excluded from average temperature calculations.
This function can also be used to compensate for inaccuracies in the

measured sensor positions, in order to make sure that temperature
sensors above the product surface are not included in the average
temperature calculation. If for example the position of the temperature
sensors is measured within an accuracy of 10 mm, setting the minimum
distance to at least 10 mm will guarantee that sensors above the surface
are not included in the average temperature calculations.

Pro Reference Distance (G)
The Pro Reference Distance (G) is the distance between the Tank
Reference Point and the RTG Reference Point, which is located at the
top surface of the customer’s flange or manhole cover on which the
gauge is mounted. For still-pipe gauges the RTG Reference point is
located at the hand-dip mark on the still-pipe gauge stand.
G is positive if the Tank Reference Point is located above the RTG

Reference Point. Otherwise G is negative.
The Minimum Level Distance (C) is defined as the distance between the
Zero Level (Dipping Datum Point) and the Minimum Level of the product
surface (tank bottom). By specifying a C-distance, the measuring range

The Tank Connection Length (TCL) is specified for each antenna

individually. Each standard antenna has a predefined TCL value which
does not correspond to the physical length of the Tank Connection. TCL
can only be changed for antenna type User Defined (see the Pro
Configuration window). If you chose one of the predefined antennas in
the Pro Configuration window, you can calibrate the transmitter by
adjusting the Calibration Distance.
Hold Off Distance/UFM
The Hold Off distance/UFM defines how close to the RTG Reference
Point a level value is accepted. Normally the Hold Off distance does not
need to be changed. However, if there are disturbing echoes in the upper
part of the tank, for example from the tank nozzle, you can increase the
Hold Off distance in order to avoid measurements in the region close to
the antenna.
Calibration Distance
Use this variable to adjust the transmitter so that measured product

levels match hand dipped levels. Normally a minor adjustment is
necessary when the gauge is installed due to, for example, a minor
deviation between the actual tank height and the value stored in the
transmitter database.

3.16 Installing an LPG/LNG Tank Gauge
3.16.1 Preparations
Make sure that all mechanical installations are made according to

instructions, and that all external sensors such as pressure and
temperature sensors are properly connected. Also make sure that the
position of the reference pin(s) and the inner diameter of the still-pipe are
available.
Before the actual LPG configuration can take place, install the tank and
devices in TankMaster WinSetup as described in chapter 3.5 Tank
Installation and chapter 3.8 Installing a Rex 3900 Gauge. Make sure that
the appropriate tank and device types are selected and that the
temperature and pressure sensors are properly configured. Check that
the gauge communicates properly with the TankMaster PC.
The LPG gauge is able to compensate deviations in measured level due

to the influence of highly pressurized vapor above the product surface.
Installation of an LPG gauge can roughly be divided in two main
activities:
1 Immediately after the installation of the gauge, when the tank still
is empty, the transmitter is configured for LPG and calibrated.
2 The gauge is setup for the correction method that applies to the
particular type of product that is stored in the tank.
3.16.2 LPG Configuration
Step 1 Check the ball valve.
Check that the optional ball valve on the transmitter is open and that the
TEST-OPERATION switch is in the OPERATION position.

Choose Air Correction Only from the list of correction methods and
click the OK button.
(When the LPG configuration is finished the correction method will be

changed to a correction method that applies to the particular type of
product that is used. See step 7).

User’s Guide
Step 3 Choose Vapor Pressure and Vapor Temperature Source.
In the LPG Setup window click the Pressure button and choose Vapor
Pressure Source.
As source signal you can choose one of the analog inputs or an

associated DAU, as well as setting a manual value. For the Rex gauge it
is also possible to choose input from a HART slave device.
Note! For correction method One or more known gases, known mixratio
pressure is not required.
In the LPG Setup window click the Temperature button and choose the
desired temperature source. (For RTG 2900 transmitters there is a
common button for Pressure and Temperature setup).
There are different options available depending on the type of transmitter

that is installed. For the Rex gauge you can choose one of the spot
sensors connected to the transmitter, the average temperature for
sensors above the liquid surface, one of the analog input signals or the
input from a HART slave device.

User’s Guide
Step 4 Calibrate.
Make sure that there is no liquid above the bottom plug at the end of the
pipe. Check the Ullage value measured by the transmitter. If the Ullage
measured by the transmitter is not equal to the actual distance between
the RTG Reference Point and the bottom plug, open the transmitter
Properties window (right-click the device icon and choose Properties),
choose the RTG Geometry tab and adjust the Calibration Distance (RTG
2900: TCL).
Step 5 Configure reference pins.
In the LPG Setup window click the Config Pins button.
Enter the reference pin positions. The position is measured from the
RTG Reference Point to the actual position of the reference pin.
Since hand dipping can not be performed in high pressurized tanks,

Saab Rosemount Tank Gauging has developed a unique method to
verify level gauging in such tanks. The method is based on measuring in
a special radar wave propagation mode against fixed reference pins. Up
to three reference pins can be mounted in the pipe in order to verify the
measurement.

User’s Guide
RTG Reference Point
Distance from RTG reference

point to reference pin
RTG reference pin
Note! The value that you enter in the Nominal Pos field refers to the
mechanical distance from the RTG reference point to the reference pin.
This value will only act as a starting point for the following verification
process in which the electrical distance from the RTG reference point
to the reference pin is calculated. In most cases the electrical distance
deviates from the actual mechanical distance.
Make sure that the Threshold value is 500 mV.
3-144
User’s Guide
The amplitude of the echo from the Reference Pin must be bigger than
the threshold value in order to be displayed in the LPGVerify window
(see Step 6). If for some reason one of the Reference Pins does not
show up, it is possible to set a smaller threshold value for that particular
Reference Pin. Check that the product level is not above the reference
pin.
Comment! When the product surface is close to a reference pin, the radar echoes
from the reference pin and the product surface interfere, and the
measured distance to the reference pin becomes inaccurate. It is
recommended that verification should not be performed if the distance
between a reference pin and the product surface is less than 800 mm.

Step 6 Verify the gauge measurement.
1 Turn the Calibration Handle to the TEST position on the Radar Tank
Gauge. It is only in this position that the Reference Pins produce “visible”
radar echoes. Make sure that the pins appear in the LPG Setup window.
In the LPG Setup window click the Verify Pins button.
2 In the LPG Verify Pins window click the Start button to start the verifica-
tion process.
When the verification is finished, the measured position appears in the

Measured Position column.
3 Note the position of the reference pin in the Measured Position field. If
the measured position deviates from the nominal position, return to the
RTG LPG Configure Pins window and enter the measured position into
the Nominal Position field.
Note! The nominal position that was entered the first time refers to the
mechanical distance. The measured position refers to the electrical
distance which is the distance “seen” by the RTG.
4 In the Verify window click the Start button again to start a new verifica-
tion. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the nominal position in the RTG LPG
Configure Pins window is close to the measured position in the LPG Ver-
ify Pins window.
Note! Remember to put the Calibration Handle on the Radar Tank Gauge back
to the OPERATION position after the verification procedure is finished.
3-146
User’s Guide
Step 7 Choose correction method.
There are several options available depending on the number of

products and product type. Click the Correction button.
Choose one of the following methods:
1 Air Correction.
This method should only be used when there is no vapor in the tank, i.e.
when the tank contains only air. This method may for example be used
when the transmitter is calibrated.
2 One known gas.
This method may be used when there is only one gas type in the tank. It
provides the highest accuracy among the different correction methods.
Note that even small amounts of another gas reduces the accuracy.
3 One or more unknown gases.
Use this method for hydrocarbons, for example Propane/Buthane, when

the exact mixture is not known.
4 Two gases, unknown mixratio.
This method is suitable for a mixture of two gases even if the mixratio is
not known.
5 One or more known gases. Known mixratio
This method may be used when there is a well known mixture of up to 4

products in the tank.

Connection Length for TRL/2 gauges) is needed in order to achieve good
agreement between measured and actual product level. A small offset
can for example result from deviations between the actual tank height
and the value stored in the gauge database, or from differences between
various RTG microwave units and antennas.
You can choose to make a manual adjustment of the Calibration

Distance, or you can use the Calibrate function to let WinSetup
automatically calculate an optimized Calibration Distance based on
measurement data from different product levels.
Note! The following is a brief description of how to calibrate a Rex gauge. For a
comprehensive description, see the Rex Service manual.
3.18.1 Manual Adjustment
For Rex gauges a rough calibration can be made by manually adjusting

the Calibration Distance parameter. For TRL/2 2900 gauges the
corresponding adjustment is done by changing the TCL parameter. (For
Rex gauges the TCL is never adjusted except for non-standard
antennas). By comparing a hand dipped level with the corresponding
level measured by the gauge, a Calibration Distance value can be
calculated according to the formula:
New Calibration Distance=Old Calibration Distance+∆L,
where ∆L=observed level (hand dip) - gauge level reading.
The same formula applies for TRL/2 gauges if the Calibration Distance is
changed to the TCL parameter.

User’s Guide
3.18.2 Using the Calibrate Function
The Calibrate function is a tool which allows you to optimize

measurement performance from the top of the tank to the bottom, by
minimizing the offset between actual product levels and the
corresponding values measured by the gauge.
To calibrate a transmitter:
1 Select the desired transmitter in the Workspace window and choose Cal-
ibrate from the Service/Devices menu,
- or -
click the right mouse button and choose Calibrate.
2 Click the Calibration Data button. In the Calibration Data window enter
hand dipped level values and the corresponding levels measured by the
gauge. Click the Save Calibration Data in PC Database button.
The Calibration window displays a straight line fitted through

measurement points representing the difference between hand dipped
level values, and values measured by the RTG. For still-pipe antennas a
sloping line is displayed, otherwise the line is horizontal.
3 Click the Write new calibration data to RTG button in order to save the
current calibration data. By clicking the Write new calibration... button,
a new Calibration Distance is calculated and the Saab Level values in
the Calibration Data window are recalculated.
See the Rex Service manual for further information on calibrating a Rex
Radar Level Gauge.
