Base Unit & Transmitter Installation Guide

BASE UNIT INSTALLATION (continued)

Initialize Base Unit

• Enter the Installation Menu, as described at the beginning of the Base Unit installation section,

and select “1 IN”, INITIALIZATION Mode. The Base Unit should display “1 IN” - (Option 1 =

Initialization). Press the MODE button to display a column of flashing dashes. The Base Unit will

now accept transmissions from any tank transmitter that is in INITIALIZATION mode, and will

display the tank number and level percentage. Transmissions from any other tank transmitters

will not be displayed while in this mode.

• When the Base Unit receives any transmitter’s initialization packet, it will record its unique

transmitter serial number along with its tank number. The Base Unit should show the tank number

(1-8) and the level percentage in that tank. Confirm the level percentage is the same as recorded

earlier from the tank gauge (+/- 2% is acceptable).

• On completion of INITIALIZATION, the Base Unit will accept transmissions only from tank

transmitters that have been initialized to it.

• Signal Strength: While in INITIALIZATION Mode, momentarily press the MODE button to display

Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI). The right side tank icon will turn off, and the signal

strength will be displayed as a number from 00 to 99 for any transmitter in INITIALIZATION mode

and within range of the Base Unit. The higher the number, the stronger the signal from the tank

transmitter.

• Position the Base Unit, and its antenna for optimal reception. Observe the RSSI level for the

highest possible signal strength.

• Press and hold the Base Unit MODE button for one second to return to Tank Level Display mode.

NOTE 1: Marginal signal strength is indicated by an RSSI level lower than 30. Either the Base

Unit, transmitter, or both should be repositioned to increase the signal strength.

NOTE 2: The displayed tank level or signal strength will be updated every 15 seconds while the

transmitter is in INITIALIZATION Mode.

NOTE 3: The Base Unit will return to Tank Level Display if it has not received any tank

transmitter initialization packets within 10 minutes.
