How to Create a Strapping Table in SensorLink

Overview

A strapping table is created by the tank manufacturer to translate the depth measurements into the calibrated volume of liquid for a tank compartment.

A "Strapping Table" can also be referred to as:

Tank Gauging Chart
Tank Calibration Chart
Dip Chart

This data is then added into SensorLink for you to program each compartment's transmitter with this information.

Tip

We recommend saving this file on your computer so you can refer to it at a later time or use it for a new installation on an identical compartment.

Preparation

Gathering Information

Verify that you have the correct strapping table for programming your specific TD Transmitter. You will need to program each individual transmitter, which will be installed on each compartment of your tank/trailer.
Confirm the additional settings required to program your transmitter in SensorLink:
- Probe type
- Offset measurement
- Spill alarm level
- High-High alarm level or volume
- Display resolution
- Optional sump depth
- Optional 4–20mA points

Reference

Building Your Strapping Chart

SensorLink is where you will incorporate your High-High and Spill alarm levels, as well as your offset measurement, probe type, and more. This information is programmed into each transmitter and displayed on the FINCH II Display. These configurations are based on the specific probe you are using.
