Important TS1 Installation Issues

1. The sender must not be mounted closer than 150mm from the
centre of the sender to sides of the tank, baffles or other intrusions.

2. Only use on tanks greater than 200mm in depth.

3. Sender must be mounted parallel to the surface of the liquid.

4. Do not install on flexible tanks that may bulge/distort as fluid levels
change.

5. Check unit is calibrated to suit tank shape, depth and fluid type.

6. Make sure that sender protrusion is NOT in contact with any
object including sealants when mounted.

7. Use gasket and fittings as provided.

8. Mount above deepest point of the tank.

Maximum Tank depths

 Operating distance of 0mm to 1100mm for Petrol tanks
 Operating distance of 0mm to 2000mm for Water tanks
 Operating distance of 0mm to 2000mm for Diesel tanks
 Operating distance of 0mm to 1500mm at 55°c

Note: Liquids that may have a sound absorbing surface will limit tank depth or in the worst
case provide no return signal eg. foam bubbles or porous sludge.

Permanent liquid surfaces that are more than 3 degree’s off level will have a tank depth de­rating effect.

Liquids that have higher viscosities than water (e.g. oil) may not propagate liquid ripples that
create a strong return signal. This will also have a tank depth de-rating effect.

Don’t use on tanks shallower than 200mm in depth as angular reflections will reduce
accuracy.
