Monitor Installation
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.
B. Ensure the probe waveguide wire does not
touch anything inside the tank (e.g., riser) —
if it does, it could cause false readings.
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.
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.
