To display the percentage level correctly, select under "Measurement
loop - Linearization curve" the entry "Horiz. cylindrical tank".
To display the volume in litres, you have to enter "Volume" as the unit
in litres under "Measurement loop - Scaling". The allocation is then
carried out, in this example 100 % ≙ 10000 litres and 0 % ≙ 0 litres.
Percent is selected as reference value for the relays. The mode of
