Installing Batteries Your LP Gas Tank Level System requires 2 AA batteries and 2 AAA batteries (not supplied) for power – Two AA batteries for the remote transmitter and 2 AAA batteries for the base station.

Do not mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries, or rechargeable batteries of different capacities.
Mounting the Remote Transmitter Please contact your local propane dealer for professional installation. To mount the remote transmitter on the propane supply line, you will need two small zip ties (not supplied) that fit through the 4 holes in the back of the supplied mounting bracket. 1. Secure the bracket to the supply line by using the zip ties as shown. 2. Slide the remote transmitter into the mounting bracket. 3. Install the R3D level sensor in to the existing R3D LP level gauge assembly.
Forcing a signal search If the base station looses connection with the remote transmitter, the base station display will begin to flash %5 and all of the level bars will be on. You should repeat the battery installation procedure to re-synchronize the units. Horizontal vs. Vertical tank configuration There are many configurations of LP tanks on the market today. The RS-228 is compatible with most.
