Introduction

This is a quick start guide designed for typical installations only. It is

recommended that inexperienced technicians consult the Totalflow

WellTell Wireless User's Manual for more detailed information while

performing the installation and start-up.

The Totalflow WellTell wireless product is designed to replace expensive

cable with robust and inexpensive radio links. Cable trenching presents

drawbacks related to expense, inconvenience, maintainability and safety.

Spread spectrum radio technologies have made it possible to install low-

cost, easily maintainable RF links between many of the system

components. Trenching can be minimized, and in some instances, done

away with entirely.

The WellTell-IS is a simple protocol transport incorporating an RS-485

compatible, intrinsically safe (IS) barrier. The WellTell-IS has a wide

range of uses to include providing an RF link to the LevelMaster

products.

Scan through the guide to see what information is available before

beginning the installation. If there are questions that are not answered in

the guide or other documentation, call a local Totalflow representative or

call the number listed on the back page of this guide. Alternate methods

of installation are acceptable and may save time; however, it is

recommended that inexperienced technicians perform these procedures

in this order.
