Warnings

Warnings

The following warnings are for the setup, use, grounding, maintenance, and repair of this equipment. The exclama­tion point symbol alerts you to a general warning and the hazard symbol refers to procedure-specific risk. Refer back
to these warnings. Additional, product-specific warnings may be found throughout the body of this manual where
applicable.

WARNING

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

When flammable fluids are present in the work area, such as gasoline and windshield wiper fluid, be
aware that flammable fumes can ignite or explode. To help prevent fire and explosion:

• Use equipment only in well ventilated area.

• Eliminate all ignition sources, such as cigarettes and portable electric lamps.

• Keep work area free of debris, including rags and spilled or open containers of solvent and gasoline.

• Do not plug or unplug power cords or turn lights on or off when flammable fumes are present.

• Ground all equipment in the work area.

• Use only grounded hoses.

• If there is static sparking or you feel a shock, stop operation immediately. Do not use equipment
until you identify and correct the problem.

• Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.

EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD

Misuse can cause death or serious injury.

• Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

• Do not exceed the maximum working pressure or temperature rating of the lowest rated system
component. See Technical Data in all equipment manuals.

• Do not leave the work area while equipment is energized or under pressure. Turn off all equipment
and follow the Pressure Relief Procedure in this manual when equipment is not in use.

• Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately with genuine manu­facturer’s replacement parts only.

• Do not alter or modify equipment.

• Use equipment only for its intended purpose. Call your distributor for information.

• Route hoses and cables away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and hot surfaces.

• Do not kink or over bend hoses or use hoses to pull equipment.

• Keep children and animals away from work area.

• Comply with all applicable safety regulations.

BATTERY SAFETY

The battery may leak, explode, cause burns, or cause an explosion if mishandled:

• You must use the battery type specified for use with the equipment.

• Sparking can occur when changing batteries. Only replace the battery in a non-hazardous location,
away from flammable fluids or fumes.

• Handle and dispose of battery properly - do not short circuit, charge, force over discharge, disas­semble, crush, penetrate, incinerate, or heat the battery to a temperature exceeding 185° F (85° C).

Set Up

• Do not install or service this equipment unless you
are trained and qualified. Installing and servicing
this equipment requires access to parts which may
cause fire, explosion, and serious injury if work is
not performed properly. Read warnings, page 2.

Set Up

There are 8 Network ID's and 8 Transceiver ID's possi­ble by changing the position of the dipswitches. The
eight positions are identified as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
See F

IG. 2 and FIG. 3 on pages 4 and 5.

Setting the S1 and S2 Dipswitches

(Unless otherwise indicated, for the following instruc­tions Refer to F

IG. 1 and FIG. 2)

• Do not use the TLM with pressurized tanks.

NOTICE

• Do not over tighten tank level monitor into tank
bung! Over tightening can cause permanent dam-

age and result in inaccurate readings.

• Do not use thread sealant or adhesive. Many of
these products are chemically incompatible with the
PC/ABS plastic.

• Use the Graco-supplied down tube 15U731 only. Do
not replace down tube with any other tube.

Dipswitch Settings

The TLM has two, 4 - position dipswitches labeled S1
and S2. TLM dipswitches must be set to match those of
the transceiver the TLM will be communicating with. The
factory default setting for all TLM’s is (‘1’ ‘1’). The first ‘1’
refers to the Network ID and the second ‘1’ refers to the
Transceiver ID.

• Network ID (S1): The RF identification setting
assigned to a Matrix installation. All compo­nents in the system use this same Network ID.
For example, if one dealership is using Network
ID (1), the dealership across the street would
require Network ID (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8) to avoid
RF interference between the two systems.

• Transceiver ID (S2): The RF identification set-
ting assigned to a Matrix Transceiver(s). Matrix
system components are then assigned to the
Transceiver’s ID as desired for RF communica­tion. For example, if a system required two
Transceivers, some components would be
assigned to one Transceiver and other compo­nents would be assigned to the second Trans­ceiver.

1. Remove the protective plastic over cover (5) on the
TLM display that was used for shipping and discard.

2. Remove the four screws (3) holding the tank monitor
cover (7) in place.

3. Remove the cover (7).

4. Remove the insulating foam (4) to access the circuit
board.

5. If installed, remove batteries (1).

6. Set the S1 and S2 settings to match those of the
transceiver that this TLM will communicate with
(F

IG. 2 and FIG. 3).

NOTICE

Wait at least 30 seconds after the dipswitch settings
are made before installing the batteries. If you do not
wait the 30 seconds, the software will not recognize
the new settings.

Set Up

7. Install two, 9-volt alkaline batteries (1). Be sure that
the batteries fully engage the mounting clips by
pushing on the bottom of each battery with your
thumb.

It will take about 30 seconds for the monitor to dis­play information after pressing the Display button
on the initial power-up. This time will decrease
thereafter to a few seconds

8. Replace insulating foam (4).

Make sure the gasket (2) is not damaged and is in
the correct location.

9. Replace cover (7) and secure it with the four screws
(3).

Make sure the cover screws are tightened securely
(18-22 in-lb) to avoid water leakage into the TLM
electronics. If a torque wrench is not used, verify
there are no gaps under the screw heads and no
gaps under the cover flange. This will ensure
proper compression of the gasket for a water-tight
seal.

Registering the TLM

Graco recommends registering TLM prior to installa­tion.

The TLM operating parameters are controlled by the
Matrix PC Software and setup by the System Adminis­trator. See the Matrix 3 Software instruction manual for
the PC setup instructions.

To register the TLM:

1. Set TLM to correct NETWORK ID and TRANS­CEIVER ID (see Dipswitch Settings, page 5).

2. Press and hold the Display button (A, F

IG. 4) until

display (B) says “Register Mode”.

3. Display reads “Registration Complete” when the
TLM is registered with the PC software.

See FIG. 4 for display messages you will see during
Registration Mode.
