38315 L&J Tankway Interface Module

3.1Features

•Supports up to 50 tanks

•Communicates using L&J Tankway protocol

•Interfaces to L&J Tankway compatible Tank Gauge transmitters

•ANSI/IEEE surge protection

The Model 8215 interface with tank gauge transmitters uses Whessoe-Varec’s Mark/ Space protocol to communicate. There are a number of transmitters that are Mark/Space compatible, including:

•L&J MCG 1000

•L&J MCG 1500

•L&J MCG 2000

Note! The 8315 TankGate uses the 8215 communications module.

The Model 8315 requires an external +48VDC power supply. It is also possible to use the +48VDC power supply of the TankGate to power the tank gauge transmitters, if there are fewer than 15 devices. The following figure illustrates how the Model 8315 appears when installed on the TankGate.
