GENERAL The electronical tank content display device of LX-Serie is to be used for monitoring of tank levels in pressureless liquid tanks. This documentation is to be used for the devices LX-GSM, LX-Q-GSM and LX-NET, LX-Q-NET. Beside the liter monitoring several other functions are available, in most cases with an extra module or adaptor.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS Only qualified persons are allowed to install the measuring probe and to connect the display de- vice. Follow the regulation for each liquid, especially for the risk of water pollution and for flam- mable liquids. Condition for proper operation of measuring device is a professional installation. Follow the tech- nical rules for planning, construction and operation of the entire facility.
Probe box : To be used - outdoors - in manhole pit (buried tanks) - in damp locations. The probe box must be wa- tertight and ventilated (for pressure balance of the hydrostatic level probe). ELECTRIC INSTALLATION Interconnection of measuring probe to display device Probe supply: Low-voltage DC Connection: Connect the 2-wire probe cable as follows:...
CONNECTION CLAMPS If LX-GSM and LX-NET Relay connection: The LX-GSM and LX-NET devices do have a double output relay. By this relay two separate elec- tric circuits can be switched simultaneously, e.g. a signalling device on/off and an electric valve off/on too. Under initial conditions the relay contacts 7-8 are closed and relay contacts 9-10 are opened.
For LX-Q-GSM : pushbuttons SIM card Measuring probes 1 ( to 4 ) 230 V supply For LX-GSM / LX-Q-GSM : DEVICE MESSAGES (SMS) See additional documention: “ Messages, Commands a. Parameters ati GSM-Messenger, LX-GSM, LX-Q-GSM “ If the device will be linked to the www.oilview.de system for remote management then these communication details via mobile phone are not relevant.
INITIAL SETUP The initial setup is carried out after completed mounting. Determine the tank data and enter them into the mode: You find 3 push buttons (blue) on the PCB positioned between the connection clamps. Press ENTER => Device enters the setup mode Displayed step „1.
FUNCTION CHECK After fueling or once a year please check if the displayed liters are correct. MAINTANCE It is recommended to check once year if the displayed liters are correct. For a simple check lift the level probe by the cable so that the probe is above the liquid level.
For LX-NET / LX-Q-NET : NETWORK CONNECTION Netzwork connection: The LX-(Q)-NET device has a directly connectivety to LAN/Ethernet network with 10 / 100 Mbit TCP/IP protocol. Inside the housing you find the RJ45 jack for connecting a CAT-5 network cable. The plug of the network cable has to be pushed through the inlet at bottom side of the housing.

ERROR CODES Error code Meaning Error E 1 Invalid value setup. Error E 2 Measuring value of the probe is too low ! If current is less than 3.5 mA => Probe error. Measuring value too high for probe offset/zero calibration. The probe must not be Error E 3 plunged! A probe’s current above 4.5 mA is invalid as zero point.
