1. Connect Mag-Probe/Mag-Sump-sensor wires to the left con­nector and battery connections to the right connector.

2. Verify that green LED (Fig.12) flashes every 6 seconds fol­lowed by the adjacent red LED.

3. Make sure the LED closest to J3 connector in RCVR also
flashes with an interval of 6 seconds or smaller. Make sure
both the RS485 Transmit & Receive LEDs flash.

4. Close the lid.

Make sure the rubber gasket (O-ring) is properly placed
on the inner lining of lid and on screws that secure lid.
Overtightening lid screws may result in plastic damage
resulting in water infiltration.

5. Similarly install all other transmitters.

G. Repeater Installation

Install repeater with clear line of sight to maximum number of transmitters as possible. You can give
power to repeater (Item 1 Figs. 14/15) either:

• From Receiver (Item 2 Fig. 14), or

• From a 15V/100mA power adapter (Item 2 Fig. 15)

1. Mount TLS-RF unit indoors on 4 holes separated vertically by 5.7 inches/
145 mm and horizontally by 6.7 inches/170mm and using screws up to

0.187 inch/4.7mm diameter (dimensions shown in Fig. 1 are maximums).

2. Install 0.5 inch/12.7mm metal conduit on upper knockout on TLS-RF and
15A circuit breaker in power panel, or a 5A switched fuse spur with neon
indication.

3. Turn off all the 8 DIP switches inside TLS-RF.

4. Make arrow in rotary switch point to “1”.

5. Connect 2nd end of RS-485 cable to RS-

C. Connect Power to TLS-RF, check PWR LED inside RCVR

1. From an independent 24 hour power supply at the distri­bution panel, run three 2.5 mm2 (minimum) standard color
coded wires (item 1 in Fig. 4); two for ac power and one
for earth to the fused spur.

2. Run one #12AWG (4 mm2) barrier ground wire (color
coded green/ yellow) from the earth bus bar at the distri­bution panel direct to the console location. Leave at least
1 meter of free cable for connection to the console.

3. Turn on power.

4. Near the left-lower corner inside TLS-RF, verify that
POWER LED is on and RX-485 TX LED is flashing at a
fast rate (10 times a second).

5. Near the top-central part inside Receiver, verify that PWR
LED is ON and RECEIVE LED is also flashing at the
same rate. Else check RS-485 wire connection.

Antenna is a sensitive part, please don’t try to rotate, unscrew or bend it and handle carefully. For
best communication quality, transmitter antenna should be horizontal and point in the direction of
receiver.
