Revision 6/22/10 Confidential – ATEK Products, LLC TankScan TS Series Hardware Installation and User Manual TankScan TS Series Hardware Installation Install the TS Series Controller o Determine the best Controller location
Ensure shortest possible distance between all the Monitor locations and the Controller with no obstructions in the path (line of sight).
Location should be within a building and near a connection for the mode of communication desired (analog dial up, USB, Ethernet, etc.). o Mount the Controller at the desired location
Attach the antenna to the back of the Controller. (Note: the antenna connection is a left-hand thread)
Connect power using the wall plug transformer supplied. The LCD panel on the front of the unit should be on after power is applied.
Connect the Controller to the desired mode of communication. Install the TS Series Monitor(s) o Determine the desired length of the Monitor probe, cut it to length and attach the supplied weight. o Mount the Monitor onto the tank by threading it onto the 1-1/2” or 2” threaded hole. o Remove the battery compartment door using the supplied screwdriver, insert the battery into the compartment and plug it in. The Monitor will take a measurement and send the information to the Controller within about 10 seconds.
Swiping the magnet end of the supplied screwdriver over the “Swipe Magnet Here” label on the Monitor will put the Monitor into “Test” mode. • In “Test” mode the Monitor will continue to take and send measurements approximately every 30 seconds for ten minutes. o Determine and add the “Offset”. The Offset is a function of how and where the monitor is mounted relative to the full level of the tank
Manually measure the level in the tank.
Calculate the Offset as: Offset = Manual Reading - Monitor Reading
Add the calibration Offset to the monitoring software. o Repeat for each Monitor being installed. Refer to the TankScan 2 User Interface Map for viewing data on the LCD panel. Revision 6/22/10 Confidential – ATEK Products, LLC FCC Notes This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. “This device has been designed to operate with the antenna supplied, and having a maximum gain of 3 dB. Antennas not included or having a gain greater than 3 dB are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.” “To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.” “To comply with FCC and Industry Canada RF radiation exposure limits for general population, the antennas used for these transmitters must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20cm from all persons and they must not be collocated or operated in conjunction with any other antennas or transmitters.” “Changes or modifications not expressly approved by ATEK Products, LLC could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.”

Document Revision: 4.00 Page: 1 of 5 TANKSCAN 2 USER INTERFACE MAP Button Behavior The front panel interface on the ATEK TankScan product consists of a 16x2 character LCD and six pushbuttons. The buttons are mapped as follows: The buttons are intended to behave in a consistent fashion throughout the user interface. The up/down buttons are used to select a particular item in a menu. When editing the value of a field, they are used to increase/decrease the value, or cycle through the available options. The left/right buttons are not used at the main level of the menu system, but are used in the tank status viewer to select a different probe. When editing certain types of fields, the buttons are used to move the cursor left/right. The menu button is used primarily to “go back” one level in the menu, or abort the current operation. The select/enter button is used to select an item to “drill down” in a menu, to select a field for editing, or when editing a field, to commit a change. In one instance, the front panel buttons are used as a password entry field, and the keys take on slightly different meanings. The values 1-5 and enter are shown in the button mapping above. Refer to the user interface map at the end of this document for a quick reference. ATEK Manufacturing, Brainerd, MN 56401-0408 USA Error! Reference source not found.

The product is the Tank Scan II Controller. It is a transmitter that operates in the range 902-928MHz. We found that the product met the above requirements with modification (see details in Comments for Statement of Compliance Section). Brad Cole from ATEK Products, LLC. was present during the testing. The test sample was received in good condition. Test Methodology Radiated emission and AC Line conducted testing was performed according to the procedures specified in ANSI C63.4 (2009) and RSS-GEN. Radiated Emissions were maximized by rotating the device around three orthogonal axes as well as varying the test antenna’s height and polarity. The device antenna cannot be maximized separately. Conducted emission at the antenna port was performed, as required by rule section. Spurious emissions from 30-1000MHz were performed outside of the plastic enclosure, presenting a worst case radiation level. AC mains line conducted emission were performed using a 50Ω/50μH LISN. The EUT operating voltage is 120Vac 60Hz. The following bandwidths were…
