Wesroc® RMS Mini-Base Unit Overview
Wesroc® RMS Mini-Base
The Wesroc
®
Remote Monitoring System Mini-Base Unit is a reduced cost Base
Unit that is used to receive transmissions from a Wesroc® RMS Tank
Transmitter. It also uses the Public Switched Telephone Network to then
communicate with the Wesroc® RMS Host Computer system. It functions just
like the Regular Base Unit with a few exceptions. Just like the regular Base Unit,
the Mini-Base will only listen to Tank Transmitters. Additionally it can only be
initialized to one Tank Transmitter, unlike the Regular Base Unit which can be
initialized to up to six Tank Transmitters. For applications requiring other types of
Wesroc® RMS transmitters like Temperature, Switch Closure and Gas Meter
Transmitters, the Wesroc® RMS Deluxe Base Unit will be needed.
Installation
Installing the Wesroc® RMS Tank Transmitter
First install the Wesroc® RMS Tank Transmitter on the tank to be monitored. For
complete installation instructions for the Tank Transmitter, please refer to the
Tank Transmitter manual.
Once the Tank Transmitter has been installed, be sure to remove the
programming magnet from the “Off” position and place the magnet on the “Init”
position. This will cause the Tank Transmitter to transmit initialization packets
once every 15 seconds for one hour. After one hour, the Tank Transmitter will
return to normal operation even if the programming magnet is left in the “Init”
position.
Installing the Wesroc® Mini-Base Unit
With the Tank Transmitter installed and the programming magnet in the “Init”
position, install the Wesroc® Mini-Base unit inside.
Locate a position inside within reach of phone line connection. This location must
also be close enough to the Tank Transmitter for the Mini-Base to receive an
adequate radio frequency signal from the Tank Transmitter. It is recommended to
use a Wesroc® RMS Portable Diagnostic Unit to first find a suitable location for
the MiniBase.
