WESROC® RMS Cellular Tank Monitor - Operation Manual - Independent Technologies, Inc. Safety Information Hazardous Environments ® The WESROC RMS Cellular Tank Monitor (CTM) is designed for safe use in environments containing hazardous vapors. However, certain precautions need to be taken to ensure the safety of the person(s) working with the CTM, the tank, and any associated equipment.
WESROC® RMS Cellular Tank Monitor - Operation Manual - Independent Technologies, Inc. Overview Device Characteristics The WESROC® RMS Cellular Tank Monitor (CTM) is used to remotely monitor the level of the contents of a tank. The tank level and additional event and status information are reported to the WESROC® RMS Host System (Host) at scheduled intervals. In addition, the CTM will report to the Host immediately to track tank events in real time.
WESROC® RMS Cellular Tank Monitor - Operation Manual - Independent Technologies, Inc. Installation Mounting Location The WESROC® RMS Cellular Tank Monitor (CTM) is designed to be installed directly on the tank to be monitored. The CTM is connected to the tank gauge by the tank level sensor and sensor cable. The CTM itself may be attached to the tank by the supplied mounting magnets or by a mounting bracket. The CTM may also be located away from the tank if necessary to improve cellular reception.
WESROC® RMS Cellular Tank Monitor - Operation Manual - Independent Technologies, Inc. Host Information The customer information, installation location, and tank configuration for the proposed installation site must be entered into the WESROC® RMS Host System (Host) BEFORE the CTM is installed on the tank. A WESROC® RMS Installation Information Worksheet outlining the required information fields is available from your host administrator or from Independent Technologies, Inc.
WESROC® RMS Cellular Tank Monitor - Operation Manual - Independent Technologies, Inc. 7] Connect the sensor at the end of the sensor cable to the remote ready dial. This is accomplished by sliding the sensor into the sensor slot on the top of the dial. Slide the sensor from the side towards the center of the dial until it is fully seated. You will hear or feel a small “snap” once it is fully seated.
WESROC® RMS Cellular Tank Monitor - Operation Manual - Independent Technologies, Inc. Operation General After the WESROC® RMS Cellular Tank Monitor (CTM) has been installed on the tank to be monitored; it will periodically report tank level and activity data, and system status information to the WESROC® RMS Host System (Host). Reports can be triggered by expiration of a scheduled report interval timer, or by tank level events or conditions.
WESROC® RMS Cellular Tank Monitor - Operation Manual - Independent Technologies, Inc. changed since the last measurement. Actions may include starting or ending the qualification of a tank level event, reporting a tank level event to the Host, or reporting to the Host at a scheduled report time. While in Normal mode, the CTM is also constantly monitoring itself for any conditions that may require reporting to the Host.
WESROC® RMS Cellular Tank Monitor - Operation Manual - Independent Technologies, Inc. Tank Level Measurement The CTM wakes up and measures the level of the tank contents once per minute. This enables the CTM to be very responsive to changing tank level conditions and to more accurately qualify events such as tank fills or tank draws. The tank level is reported in a number ranging from 0 to 99, representing the tank level in percent full.
WESROC® RMS Cellular Tank Monitor - Operation Manual - Independent Technologies, Inc. Tank Critical Low Condition: A tank critical low condition will be qualified by the CTM when the tank level has dropped below the configured tank critical low threshold. Missing Sensor Condition: A bad or missing sensor condition will be qualified by the CTM when the tank level has dropped to 0% for a pre-determined amount of time. The qualification of this condition is not configurable.
WESROC® RMS Cellular Tank Monitor - Operation Manual - Independent Technologies, Inc. Portable Diagnostic Unit General The handheld WESROC® RMS Portable Diagnostic Unit (PDU) is used to configure and monitor the status of the WESROC® RMS Cellular Tank Monitor (CTM). This valuable device should be considered an essential part of any installation tool kit. The following is a summary of the sections of the PDU interface that are designed for use with the CTM.
