I have installed the TLM100 and see incorrect tank levels; what does this mean?
Estimated Reading Time: 1 MinutesThe 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 range for the TLMXXX modules are as follows:
TLM100 2" to 40"
TLM150 2" to 24"
TLM200 6" to 104"
The TLM100,TLM150, or TLM200 will transmit a dash if:
- Level is beyond the maximum allowed range
- Sensor signal is degraded or deflected by an object
- Fluid is in contact with the sensor
The TLM100,TLM150, or TLM200 will transmit a 100% if:
- Level is at the minimum allowed range
- Level is within the minimum allowed range
- There is no level and Tank depth exceeds range of the device.
The TLM100,TLM150, or TLM200 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.
