1218CT Fuel Management System Translator Kit
Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Instructions
The 1218CT Fuel Management System Translator Kit is designed as an add-on to the 1218C Electronic Tank Gauge (also
referred to as the 1218C Console), providing an interface between the 1218C Console and any fuel management system
(FMS) that utilizes TLS protocol. This kit will include all electrical components and housings required to power the 1218CT
Communication Module using the same power source already installed for the 1218C Console. The 1218CT is capable of
receiving commands from any FMS communicating with TLS protocol and responding with live or historic data from the
1218C Console in real time.
Failure to follow any or all of the warnings and instructions in this document could result in a hazardous liquid spill,
!
which could result in property damage, environmental contamination, fire, explosion, serious injury or death.

Page 10: Operation
• In the event of malfunction, remove from service immediately and contact Morrison Bros. Customer Service. The 1218CT allows a Fuel Management System to query the 1218C Electronic Tank Gauge for current inventory. Inventory changes are not reported to the FMS in real-time and must never be relied upon to prevent a tank overfill. -
Page 11: Maintenance
Maintenance WARNINGS • Any modification of this unit beyond what is outlined in this instruction will void product warranty. • For your safety, it is important to follow local, state, federal and/or OSHA rules that apply to working inside, above, or around the storage tank and piping area. - Page 12 Note: The 1218CT Communication Module will keep this log stored in its own internal memory created from data sent over from the 1218C, storing up to 100 alarm reports. When these reports are pulled by the FMS, the 1218CT Communi- cation Module will automatically clear the log of alarm reports.
