Calibrating an electromechanical fill-level measuring device
An electromechanical fill-level measuring device comprising at least one displacement element, which is connected by means of a measurement wire windably at least with a measurement drum, at least one measuring shaft, with which the measurement drum is mechanically fixedly connected, wherein the shaft is held rotatably in at least one rotary bearing, at least one weight measuring system, which ascertains the effective weight of the displacement element and the measurement wire, and at least one servomotor, which is coupled with the measuring shaft and which rotates the measuring shaft corresponding to an ascertained weight measurement, so that an ascertaining of the relative movement of the measurement drum produced by a change of the liquid level to be measured is provided. The invention provides that a calibration mode of the weight measuring system of the electromechanical fill-level measuring device is provided, in which freely hanging displacement elements with defined mass are provided for ascertaining their weights on the measurement wire, after each change of the freely hanging displacement elements with defined mass a predefined rotational movement of the measurement drum is provided, and their ascertained weights are provided as a calibration values for the weight measuring system.
