3Activation
3.1 2G/GPRS
To activate the sensor, hold the supplied magnet to the
hot spot, a beep will be heard to indicate correct
placement of magnet.
Keep the magnet held to the hot spot until a second
beep is heard, remove magnet from hot spot once this
has been achieved.
A series of beeps will now be heard. This indicates the
GPRS is registering onto the GSM network.
Upon successful registration to the GSM network the sensor will attempt to
initiate a GPRS connection to the myTecalemit server. This is indicated by
higher pitched beeping.
The successful activation of the sensor is indicated by two successive short
beeps two seconds apart. This will wake the sensor from dormant mode and
activate it to make a join-request to the server.
It is recommended to log in to myTecalemit to check whether the sensor
readings are received on the server and whether the readings are OK before
leaving the installation site.
3.2 4G/LTE
To activate the sensor, hold the supplied magnet to the
hot spot which can be found directly below the LED.
As the magnet is held to the hot spot, the LED will first
flash Green then flash Red, after this the Red LED will
light continuously, remove magnet from hot spot once
this has been achieved.
A series of beeps will be heard while this Red LED remains illuminated. This
indicates the GSM/GPRS is registering onto the cellular network.
After successful registration in the cellular network, the sensor attempts to
establish a connection to the myTecalemit server.
After successful activation of the sensor, the green LED lights up and a double
beep pattern sounds. This will wake the sensor from dormant mode and
activate it to make a join-request to the server.
It is recommended to log in to myTecalemit to check whether the sensor
readings are received on the server and whether the readings are OK before
leaving the installation site.

4Installation
The Ultrasonic GSM works in conjunction with the myTecalemit server.
The following outlines the sensor mounting options.
The sensor must sit in a vertical position on top of the tank and be fitted such
that the sensor has a clear path to the tank contents. Position it so that there
are no internal obstructions that may interfere with the ultrasonic signal.
If obstacles cannot be avoided, then a waveguide may be required. More
detailed information see chapter Waveguide on page 13.
Locate a suitably positioned threaded opening on the top of the tank to hold
the sensor.
The sensor will fit directly into threaded 1 ¼”, 1 ½” or 2” BSP (British
Standard Pipe) existing tank connections.
Ensure that the gasket is placed, and that the sensor is screwed correctly into
the tank.

5Login
The device is operated in combination with our myTecalemit
web software.
Open the website mytecalemit.com in any browser and log
in using your account information. If you do not yet have an
account, please register and create a new company in
myTecalemit for your company.
For a newly created company, the mytecalemit fill level
module will first need to be activated. You can start with the
14-day trial version of the level module.
For permanent activation please contact:
Ingo Fischer, Tel.: [phone], E-Mail: [e-mail]
Steffen Klatt, Tel.: [phone], E-Mail: steffen[email protected]
Once your company has been activated, you can add a new device.
Once the TecSonic is activated, please refer to chapter see chapter 3 on page 7, you
can add a new device in the menu Master data –Level sensors.
In this menu, enter a description and select the type "TecSonic mobile". In the next
step, enter the 15-digit serial number (under the barcode on the device).
You can now save the information or perform the configuration for the tank right
away before saving.

The device is now ready for use.

7Disposal
7.1 Disposing of the device
Upon being decommissioned, the device is to be completely emptied and the fluid(s)
disposed of properly. Upon being taken out of service permanently, the device is to
be dismantled by specialist personnel and disposed of properly:
-Dispose of used metal parts at a recycling facility for metal.
-Bring plastic parts to a recycling center.
-Bring electrical scrap to a recycling center.
-Batteries and lamps which are not permanently sealed, glued shut,
or installed must first be removed and disposed of separately.
The end user is responsible for deleting personal data stored on the old device.
Further information on the disposal of electrical appliances can be found on our
homepage in the download section.
Observe all legal regulations concerning water protection.
7.2 Disposal of batteries
Batteries must not be disposed of with the domestic waste. Batteries can be returned
free of charge via a suitable collecting point or to the dispatch stores. Consumers are
legally obliged to return used batteries.
Batteries that contain harmful substances are marked with a crossed out dustbin (see
above) and the chemical symbol (Cd, Hg or Pb) of the heavy metal that is decisive
for the classification as containing harmful substances:
1. “Cd” stands for cadmium.
2. “Pb” stands for lead.
3. “Hg” stands for mercury.

9Waveguide
The default sensor configuration is non-waveguide mode and the
measurements will be inaccurate unless a waveguide configuration mode
is used.
Source a suitable pipe to act as the waveguide. This pipe should conform the
dimensions in the figure below in order to fit the sensor. The recommended pipe
material is PVC (domestic waste pipe is often used). Other materials are possible
but should be checked for chemical resistance to fuel oil.
Cross-section of waveguide pipe assembly:
The pipe should be cleanly cut to length. The length required
should be measured from the top of the tank (where the sensor
is to be mounted) to that of the fuel outlet point (as shown).
Note: The bottom of the pipe should be a minimum of 5cm from the base (floor) of
the tank to prevent it from touching in the case of tank dimensional changes due to
temperature etc.
Maximum outer diameter of pipe 36 mm
Minimum outer diameter of pipe 34 mm
Nominal inner pipe diameter 32 mm/1,25 inch
(Minimum inner pipe diameter 31 mm)

The waveguide pipe should be securely attached via the two grub screws and hand
tightened with an M1.5 Allen key (Note: over-tightening the grub screws can
damage the plastic). Care should be taken to keep the sensor and pipe vertically
aligned and supported, while fitting during the installation.
Depending on the weight, length and surface finish of the pipe, it may be
necessary to glue it into position. In this case a hole should be drilled
near the top of the waveguide pipe, just below the adapter, to ensure that
any trapped air can exit.
Insert the correctly sized rubber seal ring, as required for the tank opening
(supplied), and position it on the face of the adapter that is screwed onto the top of
the tank.
Insert the whole assembly carefully into the tank, taking care not to loosen the
pipe, and fit into position. Hand tighten the assembly until the rubber seal locks
into position.
