Control Unit (TT/41, TT/42, TT/43 and TT/44)

The primary monitoring and control hardware for the Tanktronic system. The unit can

manage up to 4 x individual tank sensors, 8 x Tanktronic Servo Ceramic Valves, and 2 x

Tanktronic Control Valves plus additional third party devices.

S-Module (TT/2)

An optional expansion module that increases Tanktronic’s operational capacity. Each

S-Module provides 2 more VFCOs, 2 more VFCIs, 2 more SOLs, and will allow 2 x Control

Valves to be added, plus additional third party devices. Up to two S-Modules can be joined

to a single Control Unit.

Battery Module (TT/3)

An optional back-up power source to the mains supply, providing up to two days of normal

operation before power is expended (Depending on system and usage).

Repeater Unit (TT/100)

An optional interface extension to the Control Unit, allowing you to monitor and control

the Tanktronic system from another location. The Repeater Unit can be located up to 100m

from the Control Unit and does not require a separate power supply.

Tanktronic requires a 230v/50Hz single phase supply from a switched fused 3A supply.

Connect with a suitable spec power cable. First slide the cable through the safety sleeve,

then attach it to the socket.

Wiring:

For wiring specifications refer to back cover.

Do not power unit until installation is complete and wiring carried out to BS7671 IEE

regulations.

Isolate water supply before powering up.

Setup Wizard:

The Setup Wizard will start when the Control Unit is first powered up. It can also be

accessed from:

Main Menu > System > Config > Setup Wizard

The Setup Wizard will go through simple installation:

1. Enable/disable pin

2. Define type and number of tanks (1 Single Tank, 2 Single Tanks, Balanced Tanks)

3. Define tank area

4. Define level settings (see diagram and notes on the next page)

5. Define temperature alarms

Note: If sensors have previously been setup, you will get the option to reselect all sensors.

This is recommended to avoid confusion between sensors with multiple tanks.

For more advanced set up complete the wizard and use Main Menu > System > Config (see

Page 15).

Setting Date and Time:

To set the date and time (which is not included in the Setup Wizard) use:

Main Menu > System > Config > Set Clock

Levels

Note: Fill Delay = Close Level minus Open Level.

Note: Override is optional and found in Manual Config not the Setup Wizard (See Page 15).

Setting Levels

When setting tank levels, firstly define your valve Close Level depth measured from the

bottom of the tank.

Then, confirm your Fill Delay depth (from the valve Close Level), which will define your

valve Open Level.

Finally, set your levels for Alarm Level High and Override Level High (measured from the

Close Level), then Alarm Level Low and Override Level Low (measured from the Open

Level).

Prior to commissioning Tanktronic, it is recommended to list the settings you require by

using the Settings Log checklist on Page 24.

Monitoring Only:

When using Tanktronic for monitoring purposes only, the Fill Delay and Open Level is used

for setting Alarm Levels.

Filling Valves

Three types of filling valves are supported. All valves operate from the tank’s specified

Close Level and Fill Delay settings, as illustrated on Page 8.
