Hello,
I have an endress hauser level transmitter FMR51, which is a free wave radar type transmitter. It is installed in a bulk storage tank to measure the base oil in the tank. The transmitter is installed in a stilling well.
Problem is, I cannot get the correct level reading. I have configured the instrument, input all the required parameters. Even tried mapping function of the transmitter. But the transmitter does not show correct levels at any point. When I configure the transmitter in empty tank condition (using empty tank mapping), I get 0 or 5 or 6 mm level on the display. But as level rises in the tank the error increases with it.
Please suggest a solution. I know the level is incorrect beacuse there is a glass gauge installed on the tank, from which we can manually read the level of tank, and it does not match with level of transmitter. (at some point the transmitter shows between 500-1000mm higher level than the gauge, and sometimes it shows 500-600 mm less level).
