LPG FUEL LEVEL AND INDOOR TEMPERATURE MONITORING SYSTEM CUSTOMER’S MANUAL FOR MODEL NUMBER: PRO-1 YOUR PROPANE SERVICE RETAILER IS:
FEATURES _____________________________ Congratulations. By now your new propane and temperature monitoring system has been installed by your local propane retailer or service representative. We suggest you read this manual to become familiar with the operation of this system. The system is maintenance free and will provide you many years of service and security against the damage and discomfort associated with a fuel outage or extreme temperature conditions. NOTE: ONLY QUALIFIED PROPANE SERVICE PER-SONNEL CAN INSTALL AND SERVICE THIS PRODUCT. THE HIGH TEMPERATURE ALARM FEATURE OF THIS PRODUCT IS NOT TO BE USED AS A FIRE ALARM.
FEATURES _____________________________ After installation of your monitoring system, the unit will not require any additional effort or maintenance from you. System Operation The system consists of a transmitter unit located at the propane tank and a receiver unit located within the house or building. When connected to the phone line the monitoring system is complete. Each transmitter and receiver is a unique pair and, therefore, will not operate with another transmitter/receiver. This prevents interference from other neighborhood propane monitoring systems. In addition, you will enjoy the maintenance-free solar-powered features of this system.
FEATURES _____________________________ Programmability Your propane service installer has programmed the unit to optimize system operation. These program features include: • A variable rate at which to phone in and download fuel levels based on the amount of fuel in the tank. The minimum rate is every two weeks and the maximum is once a day. • The time of day in which the unit calls in. Your installer will usually program this call-in for the early morning hours. • An emergency call to the propane retailer. These immediate calls occur when the building temperature reaches either the low or high threshold settings or when the tank fuel level reaches its emergency threshold.
FEATURES _____________________________ Your propane retailer can provide you with these emergency settings and reprogram the unit without having to make a service call to your home or facility. Phone Operation The phone operation of your monitoring system will be indiscernible to your normal operations. Your unit does not have the electronics to receive a phone call, only to dial out. All calls are to a toll free number, so no additional phone charges will be incurred by you. If you are on the phone during the systems scheduled calling session, it will recognize that a dial tone is not present and immediately hang up. It will then try again up to seven additional times over the next 24 hours.
FEATURES _____________________________ Display Operation upon Initial Power - Alarm Settings Whenever the power on your monitor is cycled, it will display your three alarm settings. This display sequence will be repeated five times. If an alarm setting is not programmed the display will be “--”. Two Character LED Display Description 7 Fuel level alarm percentage Held for 5 seconds Three second pause 38 Cold temperature alarm, °F Held for 2 seconds One second pause -- Hot temperature not programmed Held for 2 seconds One second pause, cycle repeated
FEATURES _____________________________ Normal Display Operation Your fuel level is the primary display. If you have a single tank, your fuel level will display for 30 seconds followed by a brief pause and a three second display of the indoor temperature. If you have multiple fuel tanks, the tank identifier will precede each reading. This sequence is continuously repeated. Alarm Display Operation If your fuel level should ever reach or fall below the alarm threshold, your monitor will continuously flash during this low fuel period.
DIAGNOSTICS AND SERVICING _____________________________ Diagnostics For your convenience and security there are two key diagnostic features built into your system to monitor that the unit is operating properly. First, the unit tracks the consistency in the number of tank transmissions each day and the moving rate of the fuel level. Secondly, your LPG retailer is notified if a unit fails to call in as scheduled, signaling that a service action is required. In the event you experience a power outage, do not be concerned. The unit will call automatically in less than 30 minutes and the unit clock will be corrected during this call.
