WARNING

Set Up

3A5411J 5

Set Up

1. Install four, AA alkaline batteries (9) in

the battery holder (8). See Replacing

Batteries, page 14, Steps 1 - 6.

It is recommended that the TLM be

registered prior to installation.

The TLM operating parameters are

controlled by the Pulse software and set up by

the System Administrator.

NOTE: Manual TLM readings taken prior to

TLM configuration will be incorrect.

To register the TLM:

1. On the Pulse web portal, set the Hub, or

the remote extender that the TLM

communicates with, to DISCOVERY

mode.

2. Press and hold the Display button (A)

until the display (B) reads REGISTER,

then release (FIG. 2). This may take up to

20 seconds.

NOTE: A TLM will only display REGISTER if

a Hub, or remote extender, is within range

and in DISCOVERY mode.

3. The display reads REGISTER OK (FIG.

3, page 6) when the TLM is registered

with the Pulse software. This may take

up to 20 seconds.

If the TLM did not register with the Pulse

software, the error message REGISTER

E7 displays (see Step 1, FIG. 3).

Do not install or service this equipment

unless you are trained and qualified.

Installing and servicing this equipment

requires access to parts which may cause

fire, explosion, and serious injury if work is

not performed properly. Read Warnings,

page 3.

NOTICE

Do not over tighten TLM into tank bung!

Over tightening can cause permanent

damage and result in inaccurate readings.

Do not use the TLM with pressurized

tanks. Using the TLM in a pressurized tank

will damage the TLM.

Do not use thread sealant or adhesive.

Many of these products are chemically

incompatible with the Pulse/ABS plastic.

PTFE tape is acceptable.

FIG. 1

FIG. 2

TLM Display

63A5411J

Configure the TLM

1. Press the Display button (A) again to

configure the TLM with a new profile.

2. The display reads CONFIG OK, as

shown in FIG. 4, page 6, after the TLM is

configured with the new profile.

If the TLM was not configured with a new

profile by the Pulse software, the error

message CONFIG E8 displays (Step 2,

FIG. 4).

TLM Registration Process

Step 1: Connect Device

Step 2: Load Initial Profile

TLM Display

Registration

Displays REGISTER. Successful registration

adds a second line: OK. Registration failure

adds a second line: ERROR.

Profile

Displays CONFIG. Successful TLM

configuration adds a second line OK.

Unsuccessful TLM configuration adds a

second line ERROR.

Measurement Reporting

Displays REPORT. If data is successfully

transmitted, adds a second line OK. If data is

not successfully transmitted, adds a second

line ERROR.

Sensor Communication Error

If the sensor does not respond to commands

before timeout, a communication error is

flagged. Displays COMM ERR.

Bad Measurement

If there is a communication error during a

read measurement (i.e., timeout), or the

status from the read measurement command

indicates there is an issue, SENSOR ERR #

is displayed. The # corresponds to the

following Sensor Error Table.

SENSOR ERROR TABLE

FIG. 3

FIG. 4

Error Description

Sensor E0 Invalid reading or sensor

communication error

Sensor E1 No sensor PCBA detected

(damaged circuit board)

Sensor E4 Invalid profile parameter

Sensor E5 Measurement exceeds maximum

length

Sensor E7 Registration error

Sensor E8 Profile error

Sensor E9 RF communication error (no

acknowledge or no signal)

Installation

3A5411J 7

Installation

1. Remove the bung fitting and screw in the

TLM hand-tight.

•Do not use a wrench to tighten as

this may damage the TLM.

•Do not use thread lock adhesive as

this may damage the TLM.

2. Mount the TLM as close as possible to

the center of the tank.

3. Do not mount any fittings or T connects

between TLM and the tank.

NOTICE

Do not over tighten TLM into tank bung!

Over tightening can cause permanent

damage and result in inaccurate readings.

Do not use thread sealant or adhesive!

Many of these products are chemically

incompatible with the ABS plastic. PTFE

tape is acceptable.

Do not locate TLM next to the tank wall.

The wall can interfere with the sensor’s 30

degree cone angle.

Do not install the TLM in the tank’s fill

port. Repeated removal of the TLM will

damage the unit and void the warranty.

NOTICE

The TLM will not operate correctly if tilted

more than 2° from the surface of the tank

liquid.

The TLM will not operate correctly if the

TLM is mounted less than 5 in. (127 mm)

from the maximum possible fill height of the

fluid being measured.

The TLM will not read properly if:

•Fluid in the tank is agitated (e.g. filling

a tank with oil or anti-freeze). Be sure

to take all TLM readings when the fluid

in the tank is calm.

•The TLM is mounted next to the tank

wall or in a corner.

•If there is any structural bracing or

obstruction between the TLM and the

surface of fluid in tank.

FIG. 5

TLM must be mounted within 2° from per-

pendicular to the surface of the fluid.

View Data

The TLM can be configured with the Pulse

software to take a reading at predefined

times.

Press and release the display button (A).

Data appears on the display (B) (FIG. 7); each

screen lasting a few seconds before going on

to the next.

FIG. 8 shows the order that the screens

display when taking a measurement.

FIG. 9, page 10 shows the order that the

screens display when taking a measurement

after a new profile is entered using the Pulse

software.

NOTE: The tank level data can also be

viewed remotely using the Pulse software.

Profile

Refill the Tank

After a tank is refilled from an oil distributor or

a waste oil tank is emptied by a waste oil

service provider, press the display button (A)

(FIG. 7) on the TLM to ensure that the TLM will

maintain the most current tank volume status.

If the display button is not pushed, the TLM

will automatically read correctly at the next

scheduled tank reading.

Daylight Savings Time

(DST) Change

The Pulse software automatically adjusts the

time when daylight savings time changes

occur (Spring and Fall).

NOTE: The first TLM reading will be one hour

earlier or later (depending on the season,

Spring or Fall time change). All subsequent

TLM readings will be accurate.

FIG. 9: *NOTE: TLM will take a measurement

after a new profile has been loaded
