Measuring Fill Height and Fill Gap for G2 Fill Level Sensor

For accurate bin fullness levels, the Fill Height, Fill Gap and Asset Volume must be correctly recorded.  This article shows you how to take a Fill Height and Fill Gap measurement of a Container/Bin.

FILL HEIGHT

• Measure the distance from the top of the internal bin to the base of the internal bin (i.e. to where the bin will be considered ‘100% full’). This is the Fill Height.

FILL GAP

• Measure the distance from the face of the G2 Sensor to the top of the internal bin. This is the Fill Gap.

Measure the installation position
Measure the internal height (Y) and depth (X) of the bin. If the bin height (Y) of the back wall is less than the bin depth (X), install the sensor in Position 1, if greater, install in Position 2. 
The bin sensor should be installed as close to the top edge of bin as possible (Z), however, consideration needs to be made for access and fixings through the bin wall, avoiding any hinges or obstructions.

Fill Height is the measurement from the bottom of the bin to where you establish 100% fullness would be (see red line below). The Fill Height is the measurement of the blue line and the Fill Gap is the measurement of the green line.
