2.2 Theory of Operation

The TLM100 operates by directing a pulse of ultrasonic sound from the sensor component at
the top of the tank down to the surface of the liquid in the tank. The TLM100 then measures
the time it takes this pulse to travel down to the surface of the liquid, be reflected back up, and
then be received back at the sensor component. Using the speed of sound, it uses this time to
calculate the distance between the face of the sensor component and the surface of the liquid
