FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ............11 Important TS1 Installation Issues 1. The sender must not be mounted closer than 150mm from the centre of the sender to sides of the tank, baffles or other intrusions. 2. Only use on tanks greater than 200mm in depth.
Liquids that have higher viscosities than water (e.g. oil) may not propagate liquid ripples that create a strong return signal. This will also have a tank depth de-rating effect. Don’t use on tanks shallower than 200mm in depth as angular reflections will reduce accuracy. Page 3 INST-TS1-V13 18/11/10...
2 full turns. Maximum torque for the mounting screws is 0.5 Newton meter. Note: Drawing is not to scale. Please use the tank gasket as a template and make sure the tank hole is 42mm. Page 5 INST-TS1-V13 18/11/10...
It is recommended the sender is mounted in the middle of the tank, this is particularly important on low or no baffled tanks that are mounted in moving vehicles or vessels. This allows the TS1 to average waves of fluid to the correct level when the depth is varying due to wave slop.
