9-5452-01 1 TEK 561 TEKELEK LPG LEVEL MONITOR • The Tekelek LPG Level Monitor measures the level of usable LPG in your tank in 10 graduations of the tank height. • We give a full 3 year warranty subject to normal conditions. Supplied with long life no service lithium battery The warranty becomes invalid if the sealed unit is opened. • Suitable for use in tanks for the storage of LPG, Propane or Butane. Check with the manufacturer and/or supplier before using with any other fluids. • The TEKELEK LPG will fit easily to most standard storage tanks using a standard Rochester type gauge head. • 400 meters ‘line of sight’ transmission range. Please note that the radio transmission distance will be reduced by the proximity of metal, e.g., steel in buildings, metal domestic appliances etc that are effectively between the transmitter and receiver. • -30°C to 45°C operating temperature range. Please note that the battery operating lifetime may be reduced at higher temperatures We reserve the right to change or improve the performance and specification. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS First, Read the essential health and safety notice. • Tools required: Star/Philips head screwdriver 1 SETTING RECEIVER • The multi switches are located in a recess at the back of the receiver above the pins. If the tank is a vertical tank then set switch 1 on (up), if it’s horizontal set switch 1 off (down) Your TEKELEK LPG receiver is now programmed to your tank height. 2 MATCHING RECEIVER AND TRANSMITTER You should match the receiver with the transmitter so that the system code is unique to your tank. You only need to do this once. • Plug receiver into a suitable and convenient electrical socket and switch on. The display screen on the front of the receiver will show a flashing top bar as shown in diagram. This indicates that the receiver is awaiting a unique code. The bar will continue to flash for 2 minutes during which time you can match the transmitter to the receiver. • Hold the transmitter against the receiver right hand side, as shown, so that the black dots are touching each other (important!) for about 20 seconds to allow unique code to be transferred. Bars will increase up the display screen. When all 10 bars are shown they will flash to indicate that the unique code is transferred. 3 FITTING TRANSMITTER This unit is only to be fitted to a tank with a compatible Rochester twin-site gauge head. • Check that the existing tank gauge is of the same design as the one on the end of the cable from the TEKELEK LPG Monitor. Then check and note the reading on the existing gauge and remove the gauge display only – This is held in place with two securing screws. Dispose of the old gauge according to local environmental guidelines. • Fit the new gauge to the tank using the same screws. And check that the level on the gauge is the same as before. • Locate the transmitter on a wall (with screws) or drain pipe (with cable ties) in a position that is unlikely to be subject to impact causing damage to the equipment. • Tidy up the cable so as not to cause an obstruction. • Do not fit the unit to the LPG feed pipe from the tank. The unit may only be fitted to a non LPG carrying pipe. The TEKELEK LPG Level Monitor is now fully installed and signals should be received every hour. After initial installation it may take one hour for the correct level indication to be displayed on the receiver. NOTE: In the event of a power failure or if the receiver is switched off or moved to a new socket: When power returns again or unit is switched on, the receiver display will show the top bar flashing. There is no need to repeat the matching instruction. The top bar will continue to flash for 2 minutes, after which time the display will show the last reading, whilst the unique signal is located. This may take up to one hour. 4 ESSENTIAL HEALTH AND SAFETY NOTICE Declaration: This apparatus is designed to:- Not to give rise to physical injury or other harm due to contact.
