Page 4: Introduction
INTRODUCTION Overview The FRC TankVision 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 6: 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 7 WLA200 Rev140407 Pressure/Vacuum Foam Tank Vent The pressure/vacuum foam tank vent is supplied for use on sealed foam tanks. The vent compensates for changes in tank pressure due to thermal expansion or when withdrawing foam concentrate from the tank. Internal passageways provide a path for air to move between the tank and a center cavity in the vent.

WLA200 Rev140407 INSTALLATION The TankVision 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. -

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. -

Page 17: Operation
WLA200 Rev140407 OPERATION No operator input is required for the TankVision 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 TankVision display to the tank is required before operations. -
Page 18: Calibration
WLA200 Rev140407 CALIBRATION The TankVision 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 CAL. -
Page 19: Non-Linear Calibration
WLA200 Rev140407 Non-Linear Calibration This non-linear calibration procedure can be used for any shape or size tank. The calibration process requires that the tank be empty at the start of the procedure and then filled at a steady rate of flow. The term ‘swipe’... -
Page 20: Linear Calibration
WLA200 Rev140407 Linear Calibration This linear calibration procedure can only be used for square or rectangular shape tanks with no irregularities. The calibration process requires that the tank be full at the start of the procedure. The term ‘swipe’ means to move the magnet up to and then away from the CAL. sensor at the bottom of the display. -
