3.2 Properties
The hydrostatic level measurement system consists of a control unit
with digital display and a submersible probe with integrated pressure
measuring cell. The system displays the level in litres, cubic metres,
percent or liquid level in millimetres. When the level falls below or
exceeds an adjustable minimum or maximum value, the control unit
triggers visual and, if desired, audible (can be muted) alarms. Two
additional relay contacts are available for external alarm devices, for
level control or for connection to telecommunication or building con-
trol systems. An integrated microprocessor records, stores and dis-
plays important information such as fuel consumption or calculation
of reach (based on past consumption values).

7Submersible probe
Fig. 4: Cable connection control unit and submersible probe
7. A transparent hose sticks out from the cable end of the sub-
mersible probe. This hose supplies the pressure sensor with
atmospheric pressure; it must not be closed or bent.
Do not completely close the junction box in order to prevent in-
correct measurements.
8. Connect the unit electrically as described in chapter 6.1 on
page 16.
9. Connect the control unit.

Installation
16 TankControl 01
6.1 Electrical connection
The probe cable for the submersible probe is factory-connected.
;
Mains voltage is interrupted and cannot be switched on by acci-
dent.
Fig. 5: Wiring diagram
Connecting a relay
1. Route the relay cable through the centre screw connection.
2. Connect the relay cable to "Relay A" or "Relay B":
If no error condition is present, the relay is de-energised. In the
case of an alarm, the relay is energised.
NO Relay – Normally Open Not connected to connection A or B
NC Relay – Normally Closed Connected to connection A or B
Connecting the unit to mains
1. Route the mains cable trough the right screw connection.
2. The phase must be connected to terminal L1, the neutral con-
ductor to terminal N and the protective conductor to terminal .

Installation
TankControl 01 17
6.2 Zero calibration of the submersible probe
;
The submersible probe is in air.
;
Submersible probe and control unit are connected.
;
Mains voltage is connected and on.
X Set the current level to „000000 mm“, refer to fig. 11, page 23.
ª
The zero point of the submersible probe was set.
6.3 Installing the submersible probe
1Spacer
2Star
3Pressure sensor
1. Plug the star onto the pressure sensor. Watch out for the posi-
tion of the fins on the star.
2. Use the spacer to screw the star to the pressure sensor.
3. Suspend the submersible probe into the tank from the top.
4. Adjust the cable seat in the screw connection in such a way that
the probe tip just reaches the tank bottom. The measurement
hole in the submersible probe must not be in the oil sludge.
The amount of oil below the measurement hole of the sub-
mersible probe is not detected.
