2 Series 90 Introduction Overview The Series 90 are wireless communication devices that provide quick and easy access to remote tank information such as product level and volume. Intended for supplier-managed inventory programs, the Series 90 utilizes the latest internet and cellular technologies to provide instant access to inventory information around the globe.
3 Theory of Operation Figure 1 Page 8
Transfer of Data The Series 90 communicates to the TankLink® Data Center using a wireless cellular technology called GSM Short Message Service. This technology allows the unit to transmit digital data to the TankLink ® Data Center using the existing network of GSM cellular towers deployed throughout North America and around the globe. In order to transmit a data packet, the local GSM cellular carrier must provide SMS (Short Message Service).
GENERAL Warnings! Caution: The battery pack used in this device may present a fire or chemical burn hazard if mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100°C (212°F) or dispose of in fire. Replace the battery pack with Telular part number 394-00023 only. Use of another battery pack or power source may present a risk of fire or explosion. Do not install Series 90 battery pack where hazardous vapors are present. Do not use the Series 90 where blasting is in progress.
If a tank contains a pump at the bottom with a pipe diameter large enough for the sensor to enter it, it will be necessary to suspend the probe slightly above the bottom of the tank. The same is true if the drain pipe is large enough for the sensor to slip into it. The cable may be coiled up in large diameter coils and secured with a fastener such as a plastic Tywrap. Whatever is used must be appropriate for the chemical in the tank.
Verify the key calibration parameters are properly configured via the Tank Data Online web portal and verify the level. Outside the hazardous area call TANKLINK Customer Support at 1(888)TANKLINK (option 3) or email TelemetrySupport@telular.com. When all tank parameters have been verified and the level is correct you may close the lid and tighten the two Philips screws securely. This is required to ensure the unit is weather tight.
