3.2 Properties
TankControl 10 consists of a control unit with graphical display and a
submersible probe with integrated pressure measuring cell. The level
can be displayed in litres, cubic metres, percent or liquid level in mil-
limetres. When the level falls below or exceeds an adjustable mini-
mum or maximum value, the control unit triggers visual and, if de-
sired, audible (can be acknowledged) alarms.
Two additional relay contacts are available for external alarm devic-
es, for level control or for connection to telecommunication or build-
ing control systems. An integrated microprocessor records, stores
and displays important information such as consumption or calcula-
tion of remaining range (based consumption history).
TankControl 10 ZT extras
The differential alarm of the second submersible probe is used to de-
tect different liquid levels in communicating tanks. In the case of mul-
tiple tanks, the first submersible probe should be installed in the first
tank, the second submersible probe in the last tank. If, for example,
the communicating connection between the tanks is clogged, this re-
sults in unwanted, different liquid levels in the tanks. This condition
triggers an alarm.
TankControl 10 ZS extras
The additional floating probe can be used, for example, for backflow
alarms.

6 Mounting
6.1 Preparing mounting

Only use the control unit indoors.

Protect the control unit from humidity.

Mount the control unit to a plane, rigid and dry wall at eye level.

Mount the control unit in such a way that it is accessible and
easy to oversee at all times.

The enclosed moisture-proof junction box is not suitable for out-
door applications. Use the outdoor junction box for outdoor ap-
plications, see chapter 11, page 41.
6.2 Mounting the control unit
1. Open the control unit.

Mounting
TankControl 10 19
2. Mount the control unit to the wall.
A 1 Mount the screw to the wall. B
Drill the fixing holes in the bottom
part with a Ø 5 mm drill.
Mount the bottom part to the wall
with the screws shipped with the
unit.
2 Fit the control unit.
3
Fixate the control unit by screwing the
bottom lug to the wall.
3. Mount the junction box for connecting the cable of the submers-
ible probe and the cable of the control unit at the desired posi-
tion.
4. Route the cable of the control unit into the junction box.
5. Push the cable gland required for the tank (cable gland kit or
mounting kit, see chapter 6.6, page 23) onto the cable of the
submersible probe; verify correct orientation.

6. Route the cable of the submersible probe to the junction box
and connect the two cables using the enclosed terminal strip.
Only connect identical wire colours.

7. A transparent hose protrudes from the cable end of the pressure
sensor. This hose provides the pressure sensor with the atmos-
pheric pressure. Do not close or bend the hose. If the hose is
closed or bent, this results in incorrect measurements.
Sealing the junction box in such a way that it is airtight also
causes incorrect measurements.
Close the junction box in such a way that it is not completely air-
tight.
8. Connect the unit electrically, see chapter 6.3, page 21.
9. Close the control unit.
