 .Calibration and measurement of level in the range 5 to 40 cm using LOAD Cell.

APPARATUS:
1. Power Supply
2. Signal Condition and Amplifying
3. Analog to digital converter

THEORY:

PROCEDURE:
1.Connect the Load cell to the instrument.
Connect the power supply card to 230v 50 Hz power.
3 Fill the source tank with approximately 25 liters (2 bucket) of water.
4 Close the drain valveconnected at the bottom of the Accralic Tank.
5 Switch on the instrument and allow the instrument in ON position 10 minutes for
initial warm-up.
6. Switch on the MOTOR ON Switch the pump start pumping the water. Stop the
MOTOR hen the water level reaches 5 cm. (Minimum Level)
7. Adjust the zero pot on the instrument panel till the display reads "000".
8. Switch on the MOTOR and switch OFF as soon as the water level reaches 50 cm.
9. Adjust the SPAN pot on the instrument pancl so that the display reads 50 cm.
10. Release the water, tillthe minimum level 5cm is reached. The instrument should
read "00". If the display does not come to zero, repeat the procedure 7 to 10or
two to three timnes.
11.Drain out the water till 5 cm. The display willbe reading "000" switch on the
motor and take the readings in steps of 5 cm.
12. Tabulate the readings in tabular column the actual level read by scale and the
instrument reading.
13. Plot the graph Actual reading v/s instrument reading.Calculation can be made for
linearity, hysteresis and accuracy of the instrument.
