TankScan W-Series WL2 Level Monitor Installation Manual Version 99L16wz ID#11683 4/2001 PRELIMINARY The TankScan Wireless Level System WL2 Monitor consists of an electronics housing and a "waveguide" probe for measuring tank fluid level. System Installation Steps A. B. C. D. E. Power up and configure the controller F. Power up the monitor(s) and fill unit(s). Monitor Installation 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 Precautions A. Ensure the bottom of the probe (weight) does not rest on the bottom of the tank, because the waveguide wire may become slack resulting in measurement errors. Battery Compartment B. Ensure the probe waveguide wire does not touch anything inside the tank (e.g., riser) if it does, it could cause false readings. NPT Connector C. DO NOT install the monitor in a riser unless it has a blank length (optional non-active coax probe exten-
sion) greater than the riser height. 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. Install Monitor screw bottom of monitor into a 1-1/2 or 2 inch female NPT connection hand tighten only. 2. 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. Socket 1 Specifications WL2x Level Monitor Measurement Method ..............
