YCLTSM7TankScan TS Series Monitor

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.”

Device has 2 operating modes. One as a 15.247 frequency hopper and the other as a 15.249 low power device. Device can not operate in two modes at the same time. 15.249 operation as a low power communication device is categorically excluded from RF exposure evaluation. The following is for 15.247 operation. Prediction of MPE limit at a given distance Equation from page 18 of OET Bulletin 65, Edition 97-01 where: S = power density P = power input to the antenna G = power gain of the antenna in the direction of interest relative to an isotropic radiator R = distance to the center of radiation of the antenna Maximum peak output power at the antenna terminal: 3.57(dBm) Maximum peak output power at the antenna terminal:2.276145393(mW) Antenna gain(typical):3(dBi) Maximum antenna gain:1.995262315(numeric) Prediction distance:20(cm) Prediction frequency:915(MHz) MPE limit for uncontrolled exposure at prediction frequency:0.6(mW/cm^2) Power density at prediction frequency:0.000904(mW/cm^2) Therefore device complies with FCC and Industry Canada RF radiation exposure limits for gereral population as a mobile device (distance > 20cm) 2 4R PG S π =

The product is the Tank Scan II Monitor. It is a transmitter that operates in the range 902-928MHz We found that the product met the above requirements without modifications. Brad Cole from ATEK Products, LLC was present during the testing. The test sample was received in good condition. The EUT has two modes of operation, 15.247 frequency hopping and 15.249. When the product is turned on, it initially operates under the frequency hopping mode and scans for the controller. If the controller is not found, it switches to 15.249 single frequency mode. While in single frequency mode, it radiates a transmission at 916.45MHz at 0dBm. The digital circuitry was evaluated under report EK0419-4. Test Methodology Radiated emission 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. The product was tested with modulation on and peak readings were compared against the average limit presented in section CFR 15.249. Conducted emissi…
