The TLM100
uses an ultrasonic signal to determine a distance measurement from sensor to
level.
The tank
application must be compatible with the TLMXXX measurement technology. If you
have already installed a TLMXXX and received unexpected results, the following
entries may shed light on the issue.
The operating
range for the TLMXXX modules are as follows:
TLM100 2"
to 40"
TLM150 2"
to 24"
TLM200 6"
to 104"
The TLMXXX will
transmit a dash if:
Level
is beyond 40" range.
Sensor
signal is degraded or deflected by an object.
Fluid
is in contact with the sensor.
The TLMXXX
will transmit a 100% if:
Level
is at the dead band limit of 2"
Level
is within the 2"dead band limit
There
is no level and Tank depth exceeds range of the device.
The TLMXXX
will transmit erratic readings if:
Tank
level table has duplicate distance entries equaling the same percentage output.
Foam
is present on the surface of the liquid.
Tank
Baffle Foam (cube form) is installed within the tank.
