Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1403522A1] A first pressure is measured at a first time interval, a second pressure is measured at a second time interval and the second pressure is then corrected using the first pressure as a reference. An Independent claim is also included for a pump system with a level sensor comprising a pressure sensor for providing an absolute pressure value, a control device for turning the pump on and off depending on this pressure value and a calibration device for regulating the pump so that the level of fluid is lowered beneath the pressure sensor in order to subject it to ambient pressure during calibration.
