12.BX-Sensor Control
Sensor Control:This page is used to
add or delete sensors. When replacing
a sensor, it is recommended to delete
the old sensor first so when you add
the new sensor it will take the sensor
assignment place of the old sensor.
This will be helpful to keep relay events
from being reprogrammed. (See Figure
12.1)
Adding a Sensor:
1. Turn off the unit and connect the new sensor.
2. Turn on the unit.
3. Go into SENSOR CONTROL in the SETUP MENU and select the FIND SENSORS button (See
Figure 12.2) for the system to install the new sensor. It may be necessary to repeat this
step for systems with multiple sensors. When the system confirms the new sensor, exit
SETUP and allow the system to reboot and save new changes. NOTE: as of Version 9,
the system will not auto-find newly installed sensors upon boot-up.
4. Go into BX-SENSOR PARAMETERS in the SETUP MENU to set the sensor’s labels.
Deleting a Sensor:
1. Turn off the unit and disconnect the sensor.
2. Turn on the unit and go to SETUP.
3. Go into SENSOR CONTROL and choose which sensor to delete.
4. Exit SETUP; system will reboot and save new changes.

f) Serial Number: Serial number that is programmed on each sensor.
g) Tank #: The tank number assigned to this sensor for labeling purposes.
h) Print Status on Shift Report: Enables/Disables sensor status for shift report.
Sensor Parameters: BX-TC-1
temperature sensor, designed to
monitor temperatures ranging from
-58°F to 302°F (-50°C to 150°C) with an
accuracy of ±2°F. (See Figure 13.2)
a) Temp – High: Temperature above this value will create a High Temperature alarm.
b) Temp – Low: Temperature below this value will create a Low Temperature alarm.
c) Temp – Offset: Temperature offset if needed.
Note: Temp High, Low, and Offset are for BX‐TC‐1 only.
