TankScan W-Series WL20 Level Monitor Installation Manual Version 99L16m ID#11683 8/2000 The TankScan Wireless Level System has four main components:
Monitor, Controller, Fill Indicator, and PC Host Software. The Monitor consists of an electronics housing and a "waveguide" probe for measuring tank fluid level. The Controller includes a Radio/Modem enclosure, an antenna, and an AC power adapter. The Fill Indicator assembly includes a local display (to view level during fill), an audible alarm, and the option of relay alarm outputs. The Software features, operation, and installation are covered in the software user manual. System Installation Steps Install controller (distance & line-of-sight location predetermined). Install monitor(s) on the tank(s) Install fill indicator(s) at a accessible location near the fill point. Install software on host PC Power up and configure the controller Power up the monitor(s) and overfill unit(s). Monitor Installation Precautions A. Ensure the bottom of the probe (weight) does not rest Battery on the bottom of the tank, because the wavequide wire Compartment may become slack resulting in measurement errors. mm OO >
B. Ensure the probe waveguide wire does not touch anything inside the tank (e.g., riser) NPT if it does, it could cause false readings. Connector 1. Unpack Monitor assembly (carefully un-wind the probe's waveguide wire/weight), then carefully hand-straighten the wire making sure not to kink or damage the wire. 2. Install Monitor screw bottom of monitor into a 1-1/2 or 2 inch female NPT connection hand tighten only. 3. After installing and configuring the TankScan Controller, install Monitor's Battery Pack (included). Remove the Monitor's compartment cover by unscrewing the (2) screws (w/small bladed screwdriver). Insert battery pack into compart-
ment and plug keyed connector into the socket
(on right). Finally, position the wires to prevent damage, then reattach the cover. apne Specifications one WL20 Level Monitor . ti Measurement Method ..............
