Tank Level Sensing Processor and Sensors 7 Setup 7.1 Configuration 7.1.1 Sensor Inputs The TLSP has the ability to accept inputs from up to 12 sensors. In the majority of cases not all 12 will be used so the TLSP will require configuration in order that it should know which tank input controls - Lowrance HELM-1 Drive Unit | Tank Level Sensing Processor Sensors Manual - Page 15

If the text is changed, the sensor input associated with that text will change to display - Lowrance HELM-1 Drive Unit | Tank Level Sensing Processor Sensors Manual - Page 16
. 8.1 Basic Calibration The basic method of calibrating tank sensors is to instruct the TLSP when the tank is empty and what the volume is when use are set up before beginning your calibration (refer to Page 9 of this manual). To Calibrate 'EMPTY' • Scroll through the menu system to the desired tank. - Lowrance HELM-1 Drive Unit | Tank Level Sensing Processor Sensors Manual - Page 17
connections are secure; check that the yellow flame resistant tubing is connected to the Sensor Module, (refer to the Note on Page 12 of this manual). • Scroll to 'CAL VAL 3' (Full Vol). • Press ENTER, the default maximum value is displayed. • To set the maximum level, press ENTER and scroll up to - Lowrance HELM-1 Drive Unit | Tank Level Sensing Processor Sensors Manual - Page 18
Tank Level Sensing Processor and Sensors 8.2.3 Overview The software will support up to 10 incremental steps for calibrating the volume of your tank, however for the examples below, six stages have been chosen: Empty, Full and - Lowrance HELM-1 Drive Unit | Tank Level Sensing Processor Sensors Manual - Page 19

Tank Level Sensing Processor and Sensors 8.3 Calibration Procedure To start the PC utility: ú Ensure that the Tank Monitoring Processor is connected to one of the PC's COM ports (COM port numbers over 8 are not recognised by the software) ú Ensure that the B&G system power is switched on. ú Start - Lowrance HELM-1 Drive Unit | Tank Level Sensing Processor Sensors Manual - Page 21
box, and your selected values on the lines above. All volume boxes above your maximum value must be left blank. • Calibrate as per the instructions given previously, ensuring that 'Get Cal Val' is not pressed for any of the blank values. 8.3.3 Sending and Saving configuration data After calibration - Lowrance HELM-1 Drive Unit | Tank Level Sensing Processor Sensors Manual - Page 22
Tank Level Sensing Processor and Sensors 9 Alarms Once the system has been correctly calibrated the system will display the levels of the tanks in the units desired. The system allows the user to set alarms and alter the damping value. Each enabled tank sensor may have a minimum and maximum alarm - Lowrance HELM-1 Drive Unit | Tank Level Sensing Processor Sensors Manual - Page 23
Tank Level Sensing Processor and Sensors 11 NMEA Output To allow other equipment to interface with the TLSP, a NMEA sentence is transmitted showing the levels in the tanks. The messages are transmitted using the XDR sentence. Each tank output will have a separate NMEA message. The format for the XDR - Lowrance HELM-1 Drive Unit | Tank Level Sensing Processor Sensors Manual - Page 24
