10 MSI OTM Installation and Operation Manual
Control Theory
The Oil Tank Monitor measures and displays the number of inches of oil in a tank, and can activate an alarm if the oil level falls below
a user‐configured number of inches. The unit is designed to transmit the tank level (via the MSI Hub) to the Platinum Control, which
then sends the information to the Internet Control Management System (ICMS). This allows remote users to monitor the level of the
tank and send out alarms if the tank level is outside the desired range.
The Oil Tank Monitor has a pump for automatic pressure compensation. An internal timer energizes the pump at regular intervals to
ensure correct operation. The pump can also be programmed to activate immediately for testing or after maintenance.
The Oil Tank Monitor's internal programming mode allows adjustment of the Alarm value (in inches) and provides an offset for tube
placement in the oil tank. Once programmed, these values will not be lost if power is interrupted or lost. The program values are
displayed, allowing precise adjustment for each setting.
