TLS Console Setup for MAG-XL Flex Probe

With the TLS RF System powered on and the Mag-XL Probes recognized by the TLS Console, begin the console setup for each Mag-XL Probe(s). Figure 17 lists in-tank setup examples for a Mag-XL Probe.

Height Reading Adjustment

A MAG-XL Flex Probe cannot measure fuel on the bottom of the tank as the minimum height reading is between 7 and 22 inches. Also, depending on the length of the MAG-XL Flex Probe, a clearance distance between the probe and tank bottom is required to compensate for the thermal expansion of the probe. To account for the loss of clearance height, the fuel height reading of the MAG-XL Flex Probe must be adjusted on the TLS Console.

Use a tape measure to determine the height of fuel inside the tank. On the TLS Console enter a probe offset value to match the height of the fuel float on the MAG-XL Flex Probe to the fuel height inside the tank. The probe offset is typically a number (in inches) greater than, or equal to, the clearance between the end of the probe and the bottom of the tank.

Setting the offset value for a 20’ MAG-XL Flex Probe:

• Mechanical Gage Reading 187 inches

• MAG-XL Flex Probe on TLS 181 inches

• Set the TLS probe offset 6.0 inches (positive 6” difference)

• After programming the offset value into the TLS Console, the respective fuel height now matches the

mechanical gage reading.

TLS Limit Calculations

To calculate the gallons per inch (GPI) for each tank, install the MAG-XL Flex Probe and call for a delivery. Record the current fuel height at the TLS, make the delivery and after waiting a few minutes for the tank level to stabilize take a second fuel height measurement. Divide the delivered volume in gallons by the recorded fuel height change in inches to get your tank’s gallons per inch value.

LIMIT CALCULATION EXAMPLE

1. Fuel height reading before the delivery = 48 inches. Fuel height reading after the delivery = 72 inches

2. Ticketed delivered fuel amount was 6050 gallons.

3. Difference in fuel height recordings = 24 inches.

4. Divide the delivered fuel volume by the fuel height change = 6050/24 = 252.08 gallons per inch (GPI).

5. If the tank is 30 feet high, then 30 x 12 inches per foot = 360 (the tank’s height in inches) then the 30-foot tank’s full volume would be 252.083 GPI x 360 inches = 90750 gallons.

6. Also, if applicable, you must consider the 12” null zone at the top of the probe. If the probe riser pipe is longer than 9 inches, the null zone can be ignored. If the probe riser is 9 inches or less subtract the riser length from 12” to calculate the non-working top section of the probe. For example, you have a 5-inch riser: 12” – 5” = 7” and 7” X 252.08 gallons is 1765 gallons that cannot be measured by the MAG-XL Flex Probe. This reduces the 100% or full volume to: 90,750 – 1765 = 88,985 gallons.

7. To calculate the various alarm limits using the above example 30 foot tank having a 5-inch riser and a discharge port that is 24 inches from the bottom of the tank (ref Figure ):

• 100% 88,895 gallons Full Volume

• 95% 84,450 gallons High Product

• 90% 80,005 gallons Overfill Limit

• 20% 17,779 gallons Delivery Limit

• 10% 8889 gallons Low Product

• Minimum Volume is the volume that is below the bottom of the discharge port (calculated by multiplying the distance from the tank bottom to the bottom of the discharge port by the GPI. In this example, 24” X

252.08 GAL. = 6050 gallons).

Into the Tank Deliveries

Vertical Tank Volume Calibration

Enter the full tank volume based on the volume specification provided by the tank manufacturer referred to as the nominal tank volume in the following examples. If a vertical tank’s volume to height ratio is known, use the most precise full tank volume available and enter that volume into the TLS Console.

Over time, calibrate the tank’s volume by comparing volume from each delivery ticket to the delivery volumes recorded by the TLS Console. Use several deliveries to calculate the average volume error (as a percentage of the total volume). The calculated tank volume is an adjustment to the full tank volume based an average of the delivery volumes. On the TLS Console, adjust the full tank volume to compensate for this error as demonstrated in examples 1 and 2 in Figure 19 below using the calculated tank volume as the new full tank volume.

Example 1 - Manual Tank Calibration for a Positive Error

Nominal Tank Volume: 125,000

Calculated Tank Volume: 115,925

D1 D2 D3 D4 D5

Metered Volume Delivered (Input) 2,774 3,812 2,344 2,802 1,699

Delivery Volume Reported by TLS 2,985 4,062 2,525 2,981 1,835

Volume Difference (positive error) 7.61% 6.55% 7.73% 6.39% 8.00%

Average of the Volume Difference 7.26% (125,000 x .0726 = 9,075)

Adjust the tank volume downward by this Difference: Nominal Tank Volume minus 9,075

Calculated Tank Volume 125,000 - 9,075 = 115,925

Example 2 - Manual Tank Calibration for a Negative Error

Nominal Tank Volume: 500,000

Calculated Tank Volume: 547,050

D1 D2 D3 D4 D5

Metered Volume Delivered (Input) 4,772 3,650 5,391 4,446 4,822

Delivery Volume Reported by TLS 4,363 3,259 4,923 3,980 4,408

Volume Difference (negative error) -8.58% -10.71% -8.68% -10.49% -8.59%

Average of the Volume Difference -9.41% (500,000 x .0941 = 47,050)

Adjust the tank volume upward by this Difference: Nominal Tank Volume plus 47,050

Calculated Tank Volume 500,000 + 47,050 = 547,050

MAG-XL Flex Probe Troubleshooting

The following diagnostics are for the MAG-XL Flex Probe. For wireless troubleshooting and/or additional probe troubleshooting information, refer to the TLS RF Wireless 2 System (W2) Installation and Maintenance Guide, part number 577013-964.

Troubleshooting

Use the TLS Console to check the probe height and temperature readings. If the probe is communicating properly with the console but either the height or temperature are reading 999's, check for the symptoms listed below. If the Console is receiving data, the product height level is equal to the position of the float on the probe tube. A level reading error will occur if the offset (Mag Probe Offset) for the probe is incorrect, see the previous description for making height reading adjustments.

If the probe is installed in an empty tank, the product float will be resting on the weight at the bottom of the tank. In an empty tank, the product level height reading may vary because of temperature changes even though there is no liquid product in the tank. The probe does not measure the product level until the float becomes buoyant.

PROBE OUT OR NO PROBE DETECTED

1. Check the probe part number to be sure the correct probe is installed.

2. Be sure that each TLS RF box and the TLS Console have a good Earth Ground.

3. Using the appropriate torx driver remove the cover of the suspect transmitter. Note that water should not be present inside the transmitter enclosure.

4. Check the 3-conductor wiring between the transmitter and the probe to ensure that each connection is secured in the appropriate terminal (ref. Figure 16 on page 24). Verify that all wire connections are secure and free of shorts.

5. Check the input voltage from the battery going into the TLS XL-Transmitter, it should measure between 2.4 and 3.8 volts.

6. Check that the two cable cord grips are tight.

7. Replace the transmitter cover and the torque the securing screws to 10 inch-pounds.

8. If necessary, refer to the TLS RF Wireless 2 System (W2) Installation and Maintenance Guide, part number 577013-964.

INCORRECT PRODUCT HEIGHT READING

Product Height Reading Error: 999.99 The product float magnet is in the null zone (ref. Table 1 on page 11) or the probe is malfunctioning.

Temperature Reading Error: -99.9 The working temperature range of the probe is -40°F through +122°F.

A MAG-XL Flex Probe is designed to work with one float only, make sure the float is installed and moving freely on the probe tube. If the product float is located in either the dead band (bottom) or the null zone (top) of the probe, the product height on the TLS Console will be incorrect.

MAG-XL Flex Probe Troubleshooting Troubleshooting

Once installed, the MAG-XL Flex Probe must not contact any other object, such as: the bottom of the tank, ladders, the side wall or piping.

Electrical noise or magnetic interference can cause reading errors. Also, physically inspect the probe tube for kinks or bends as the surface of the tube must be smooth and straight. Contact Veeder-Root Technical Support for assistance with these issues.
