5.11 INSTALLING A TANK<br />

5.11.1 Overview Basically the purpose of the tank installation procedure is to associate various<br />

devices to the right tanks. It also includes mapping variables such as Free<br />

Water Level and Vapor Pressure to specific instrument outputs.<br />

By using the Tank Installation wizard, installing a new tank is a simple and<br />

straightforward procedure.<br />

NOTE!<br />

Make sure that measurement units are specified before installing a new tank.<br />

See also “Measurement Units” on page 5-16.<br />

The specified measurement units only affect installation of new tanks.<br />

Changing measurement units has no effect on tanks which are already<br />

installed in WinSetup. This means that if you want to change measurement<br />

units for a previously installed tank, it has to be uninstalled first, and then<br />

installed again after changing the measurement units in the Server<br />

Preferences/Units window. See also “Measurement Units” on page 5-16.<br />

A tank installation includes the following steps:<br />

1. Specify tank type: Fixed Roof, Floating Roof, Sphere, Horizontal etc.<br />

2. Select which devices to associate with the tank.<br />

3. Configure the tank:<br />

Specify source signals for Free Water Level (FWL), Vapor Temperature,<br />

Vapor Pressure and Liquid Pressure to be used for inventory<br />

calculations, see “Advanced Parameter Source Configuration” on<br />

page 5-74.<br />

4. Specify automatically measured or <strong>manual</strong> values as input for the<br />

different tank variables.<br />
