Product Bulletin #252a
Serial-to-Wireless USConverters Modem
for Tank Monitor to FMU Communications
Modems will come preconfigured from Syntech. Each kit contains two
CAUTION
modems that are paired to one another.
The USConverters S2B2232FEV2 Modem is an RS232-to-Bluetooth device that
converts a wired connection between a Fuel Management Unit (FMU) and a Tank
Monitor Unit (TMU) (or Automatic Tank Guage) console to a wireless connection.
Equipment
The device includes AC/DC adapters that may be plugged into a 120VAC power
outlet. Alternatively, if a standard USB connection exists, you may plug the antenna
into said port.
The radio modem is operable in temperature ranges from -13° F to 185° F and must
be installed either inside an FMU or in a weatherproof box attached to, or near to, the
FMU. The radio is not approved for installation in Class I, Division 1 or Division 2
locations, so it must be installed no closer than 18 inches from a Class I Division 1 or
Division 2 fuel dispenser and at least 18 inches above grade level when installed
within 20 feet of a Class I Division 1 or Division 2 fuel dispenser. The radio modem is
certified by the FCC and CE.
The external antenna supplied with the radio modem has supported communication
to 150 feet when the radio modem is installed inside an FMU cabinet, but the
manufacturer reports line-of-sight range of 328 feet (100 meters).
