2 Series 90 Introduction

Overview

The Series 90 are wireless communication devices that provide quick and easy access to
remote tank information such as product level and volume. Intended for supplier-managed
inventory programs, the Series 90 utilizes the latest internet and cellular technologies to
provide instant access to inventory information around the globe. Coupled with the
TankLink® information website, the Series 90 can provide a tremendous advantage over
conventional systems for inventory management, asset control, or information exchange.

The Series 90 is also available in Host and Client Model configurations. This is
advantageous where a number of tanks are collocated together such that a single Host unit
may communicate with several Clients. The advantage is that only one Cellular radio can
perform all communications with the TankLink Data Center for itself and its Clients. Thus
simplifing installation and maintenance. Contact TankLink sales for more information.

For Your Safety

Read these installation and operation instructions carefully. Failure to follow these
instructions may be dangerous or illegal.

Only qualified service personnel must install or service this
equipment.
