6.3.3 How to get access to the Quick Setup menu

The Quick Setup menu contains the menu items that are necessary for most configurations of
the device. The menu items are divided into 2 groups: "Standard Setup" and "Empty Spectrum".
The "Standard Setup" group lets the user (with "Expert" access level) set the tank height, tank
type (process, storage etc.), output variable, output current range, 0% range, 100% range, error
function and error delay. "Empty Spectrum" is a procedure that finds interference signals in the
tank and uses a filter to remove them from the measurement data.

CAUTION!

If you did not supply all installation data to the supplier before the delivery, the standard setup
procedure in the Quick Setup menu is mandatory.

Do the steps that follow:

• Push [>>>>] to enter Program mode.

• Push [>>>>], 2 × [] to go to the menu item A3 Login.

• Push [>>>>]. Enter the password used at this time for the "Expert" access level. If it is the default

password, enter "0058".

• Push [^^^^], [] and [>>>>] to go to the menu item A4.1 Standard Setup.

• Push [>>>>]. Do the basic configuration of the device in the "Standard Setup" menu. For more data

In "Direct" mode, the level signal is a

the radar reflection on the bottom of the

contents). The tank must have a flat bottom

Multiple reflections will cause the device to
display smaller level readings. Installation
of the device on a manhole or at the centre
of a dome roof, and high dielectric
products (εr >5) can cause multiple
reflections. A very calm surface or a tank
with a small convex or flat roof can also
cause multiple reflections.

If this function is in operation, the device
looks for the first signal peak below the

then used to measure the level of the tank
contents. If this function is not in operation,
the device looks for the largest signal

OPERATION

6.4.2 Empty spectrum recording

The empty spectrum recording procedure is important for the performance of the device. We
recommend that the tank is empty or only filled to the minimum level before you do the
procedure.

Use this procedure (menu item A4.2 Empty Spectrum) if there are fixed and moving objects in the
tank that can cause interference signals. The device does a scan for objects that do not change
their vertical positions in the tank (heating tubes, agitators, fuel assemblies etc.) and records the
data. The device can then use this data to put the measurement signal through a filter (empty
spectrum).

When the empty spectrum filter is on (when menu item C2.8 Empty Spectrum Enable is set to
"Enable"), it will ignore the interference signals.

CAUTION!

Make sure that the tank is empty or only filled to the minimum level.

INFORMATION!

Because the device records the empty spectrum data, it is not necessary to do the procedure
again if you de-energize the device.

OPTIWAVE 3500 C

Before you do the empty spectrum recording procedure, install the device on the tank. For more

The tank bottom (specified in menu item C1.2 Tank Height) is the reference point for level
measurement (0 m / 0 ft / 0¨). The position of the measurement scale (specified by the 0% Range
and 100% Range settings) is related to this reference point. If you configured a measurement
scale for the current output signal in the C4.1 Current output 1 menu, you can use a "standard
scale" or a "reversed scale". On the standard scale, the 0% Range measurement value agrees
with an output of 4 mA and the 100% Range measurement value agrees with an output of 20 mA.
On the reversed scale, the 0% Range measurement value agrees with an output of 20 mA and the
100% Range measurement value agrees with an output of 4 mA.

If you move the tank bottom offset below the tank bottom, add the value given in C1.11 Tank
Bottom Offset when you give a level for the C4.1.2 0% Range and C4.1.3 100% Range settings. If
you move the tank bottom offset above the tank bottom, subtract the value given in C1.11 Tank
Bottom Offset when you give a level for the C4.1.2 0% Range and C4.1.3 100% Range settings.

CAUTION!

If C4.1.1 Current Out. 1 Var. is set to "Level" and C4.1.3 100% Range (standard scale) is set in the

6.4.6 How to configure the device to measure volume or mass

The device can be configured to measure volume or mass. It can also be configured to a custom
quantity to be measured. You can set up a strapping table in the conversion menu (C3
Conversion). Each entry is a pair of data (level – volume, level – mass or level – custom
measurement). The strapping table must have a minimum of 2 entries and a maximum of 50. The
reference point for the table is the bottom of the tank (as given in menu item Tank Height (C1.2).

6.4.7 How to measure correctly in tanks with curved or conical bottoms

It is possible that the device cannot find the bottom of the tank if it is installed in a tank with a
dish-shaped or conical bottom. The form of the tank bottom causes a delayed radar reflection
and the device will display the error message "Measurement is lost in the tank bottom".

You can offset the tank bottom reference point to find the delayed radar reflection. Obey the
instructions that follow:

• Measure the true tank height with a different measurement method.

• Empty the tank.

• Enter Program mode and go to menu item C.1.2 Tank Height. Push the [>>>>] button.

• Enter the password used at this time for the "Expert" access level. If it is the default password,

enter "0058". Push [^^^^] and then [>>>>].

• Increase the value in menu item C.1.2 Tank Height. This value must be a minimum of 20%

more than the true tank height.

• Go to a measurement page in Normal mode that shows the distance. Make a note of the

distance of the reflection measured by the device.

i This is the delayed radar reflection. The distance shown will be the new tank height.

• Subtract the distance to the reflection from the true tank height.

• Go to menu item C1.11 Tank Bottom Offset (Program Mode > Full Setup > Install.

Parameters > Tank Bottom Offset

Parameters > Tank Bottom Offset).

Parameters > Tank Bottom OffsetParameters > Tank Bottom Offset

• Type in the difference you calculated as a negative value.

i A negative value will move the reference point above the tank bottom (as given in menu

item C.1.2 Tank Height).

• Push [^^^^], 2 × [] and [>>>>] to go to C1.2 Tank Height.

• Type in the distance that was shown in Normal mode.

• Push 4 × [^^^^] to exit to the "Save Configuration?" window.

• Select Yes

Yes and push [^^^^].

YesYes
