Page 4: Introduction
INTRODUCTION Overview The FRC TankVisionPro indicator shows the actual volume of liquid in a tank. The liquid in the tank exerts a pressure that is measured by a sensor. As the amount of liquid changes, the pressure it exerts on the sensor changes proportionally. The pressure change is used to calculate the exact volume of liquid in the tank. - Page 5 WLA300 Rev170606 Adjustable/Programmable Brightness Levels—10 adjustable brightness control levels Tri-Color LEDs (Red, Green and Blue)—Programmable in various light patterns.

Page 7: General Description
The electrical connector is waterproof and molded into the pressure sensor housing. The standard pressure sensor is used on tanks between 1 and 10 feet in vertical height. For tanks taller than 10 feet contact FRC for options. - Page 8 The buzzer provides an audio alarm when the tank volume drops to 25%. The buzzer resets when the tank volume goes above 25%. Note: When the TankVisionPro WLA300 primary display is used to control an Auto Tank ATA400 system, pin 5 does not provide a ground for the buzzer.

Page 9: Installation
WLA300 Rev170606 INSTALLATION The TankVisionPro primary display module is connected to the pressure sensor and is the only module that needs to be calibrated. Note: The calibration procedure needs to be performed every time a primary display module is installed. Install Display Module The full size display modules all have the same mounting dimensions. -

Page 11: Install Pressure Sensor
Install Pressure Sensor The pressure sensor is mounted on one of the tank sides approximately 2 inches from the bottom. If the tank has a vertical height greater than 10 feet contact FRC, a different sensor may be required. Pressure sensors are interchangeable. It is recommended that the calibration procedure be performed if the pressure sensor is changed. -

WLA300 Rev170606 Install Pressure/Vacuum Foam Tank Vent A pressure/vacuum foam tank vent is supplied for use on sealed foam tanks. The recommended location to mount the vent is in the cover of the foam tank fill tower. If there is no fill tower, mount the vent at the highest point of the tank top so that it is not immersed in foam. -

Page 15: Install Maxvision Led Tank Display
WLA300 Rev170606 Install MaxVision LED Tank Display The LED display is waterproof to allow for flexibility in the mounting location. Ensure that the light is mounted with the rear against a flat surface. Mount the display so that the raised MaxVision logo on the lens and the drain notch on the rubber gasket are at the bottom and is mounted with the rear against a flat surface. - Page 16 WLA300 Rev170606 3. Wait 5 seconds to enter the program. 4. Each swipe changes the LEDs brightness—ten levels that are stepped through and then repeated. 5. Hold the magnet over the calibration point for five seconds to load the new setting.

Page 20: Operation
WLA300 Rev170606 OPERATION No operator input is required for the TankVisionPro to be operational. When power is on, the display is operating. The signal from the pressure sensor is processed and the volume of liquid in the tank shows on the display. Note: Calibrating the TankVisionPro display to the tank is required before operations. - Page 21 WLA300 Rev170606 Remote Light Driver When power is applied, the remote light driver runs a lamp test function. The lamp test starts at the 1/4 light and cycles each remote light on and off. At the completion of the lamp test, the remote light driver turns on the correct light(s) to show the tank water or foam volume.

Page 22: Calibration
WLA300 Rev170606 CALIBRATION The TankVisionPro has unique calibration programs that enable it to be used on tanks of all shapes and sizes. Note: The standard pressure sensor is limited to a maximum tank height of ten feet. Overview Magnet Sensor The calibration programs are accessed by activating the C 1 and C 2 magnet sensors that are located on the front of the display module. -
