Programming the Tank Level Monitor, Recommendations

Programming the Tank Level Monitor

1.In the Action column of the tank record you want to program, click Program. The Tank Level Monitor setup timeout notice appears. See FIG. 52.

2.When the screen appears, you will have up to 5 min- utes to program the TLM or you will need to reclick on Program. After 5 minutes, this window needs to be manually closed. To stay in program mode at the PC, the program link must be clicked again. Press the blue button on the TLM until Program Mode is displayed on the TLM screen (about 15 seconds). The text on the screen will change from “PC in pro- gramming mode” to “Program Complete” indicating the TLM has been programmed. For more informa- tion on the TLM see instruction manual 309500.

Remove the protective plastic covering from the tank level monitor display.

3.Click Cancel Programming to return to the Tank Setup Screen and start over.

After programming is completed, label each moni- tor with the tank number and fluid name (i.e., Tank 1, 5W30). The label can be removed after the mon- itor is installed in the tank. See FIG. 53.

If a programmed TLM is moved to another tank location or if the parameters change, it must be re-programmed.

Recommendations

1.Verify that the serial link between the PC and trans- ceiver is working. See the Confirm PC/Transceiver Communication section on how to do this. If this link is not working, nothing else will.

2.Tank level monitors come from the factory with exactly the same factory default configura- tion—including the RF settings the tank level moni- tors use to communicate to the PC via the transceiver. Therefore, when trying to program one tank level monitor, another tank level monitor may interfere. Particularly when commissioning a system for the first time, remove the batteries from all tank level monitors except the one you’re programming.

3.Do not program another tank level monitor until you get the Programming complete! message shown in FIG. 54. If you program a tank level monitor and it appears to be successfully programmed at the tank but you didn’t get the programming complete mes- sage at the PC, Graco recommends you reprogram the tank level monitor. This ensures that you do not get two tank level monitors programmed with dupli- cate parameters, which will cause unpredictable system behavior.
