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 />
