If a tank contains a pump at the bottom with a pipe diameter large enough for the sensor to enter it, it
will be necessary to suspend the probe slightly above the bottom of the tank. The same is true if the
drain pipe is large enough for the sensor to slip into it. The cable may be coiled up in large diameter
coils and secured with a fastener such as a plastic Tywrap. Whatever is used must be appropriate for
the chemical in the tank. The coil can be carefully compressed just enough to get through the bung
opening. The cable must not be crimped.
4.3.1 Installation of the Series 90
 If you installing a Host and Client(s) proceed to install the Host first followed by the
Client.
 Without removing the Series 90 electronics, carefully connect the battery cable to its
mating connector (see Fig. 1).
At this point, the Series 90 electronics is in an active state. The Inventory Request
Button (S1) remains active in this state and can be used to request an inventory
update at any time.
 Upon plugging in the battery the green LED on the circuit card should begin to flash.
Examine the LED sequence and verify proper communications with the TankLink
Data Center. (Refer to section 7 which explains the LED light sequence)
 Allow the Series 90 to complete the communications process. This could take several
minutes and the LEDs will go dark when the process is complete. If the red LED
lights then an error has occurred. See section 7 for error code definitions.
Install the Sensor.
 Identify the appropriate 2” NPT bung opening designated to receive the sensor
assembly.
 Ensure the designated level gauge is properly rated to be installed in the storage
vessel based on the commodity stored in the vessel. The cable must be long
enough to reach the bottom of the tank.
 Remove the bung opening plug or existing level gauge.
 Carefully lower the sensor to the bottom of the tank and secure the excess cable if
required. The sensor must not be dropped!
 Verify the Series 90 makes a proper seal in the bung opening. It is recommended
to use Teflon tape around the threads of the Series 90.
 Momentarily press the Inventory Request pushbutton (S1). This will initiate a new
call sequence. Verify the green LED pattern and let the Series 90 electronics
complete the call sequence.
 From an area known to be free of hazardous material, call TankLink Customer
Support or access the Tank Data Online web portal to verify the tank level and
that the initialization process has successfully completed. Be ready with all
applicable tank parameters and desired call data so that customer support can
ensure the website is setup properly.
