7] Connect the sensor at the end of the sensor cable to the remote ready dial. This is
accomplished by sliding the sensor into the sensor slot on the top of the dial. Slide the
sensor from the side towards the center of the dial until it is fully seated. You will hear or
feel a small “snap” once it is fully seated. To remove the sensor from the dial, gently lift
up on the end of the sensor before attempting to slide it out of the dial.
Large dial installations use an in-line connector to attach the CTM to the dial. When
attaching an in-line connector, make sure the connector is fully seated and that the
locking ring has been turned to ensure a weather tight seal.
8] (Optional.) If you are going to be using a WESROC
®
RMS Base Unit (Base Unit) as a
local display device, now is the time to initialize the CMT to the Base Unit. See section
“Operation” of this document for details. The Local Display configuration parameter on
the CTM must be enabled for this feature to work.
9] This step assumes that the installation site information has already been entered into
the Host and that this particular installation does not require any unusual configuration
of the CTM. Remove the programming magnet from the OFF position on the CTM
enclosure and step away from the CTM. (Do not degrade the CTM cellular signal quality
by leaning over it while it is attempting to report.)
At this time, the CTM will attempt a configuration report to the Host. The report is
typically completed in about 30 seconds, but can take up to 3 minutes to complete
under adverse cellular signal conditions.
The CTM does not provide any direct feedback regarding report success or failure;
therefore it is highly recommended to make use of a handheld WESROC
®
RMS
Portable Diagnostic Unit (PDU) when performing CTM installations. The PDU will
provide the installer with a wealth of information regarding report status, tank level
status, CTM system status, and cellular network performance. See section “Portable
Diagnostic Unit” of this document, or the WESROC
®
RMS Portable Diagnostic Unit
Operation Manual for more information on operating the PDU.
Another option for checking report status is to have the Host send a text alert message
to the installer’s cell phone once a successful report has completed. This of course
requires that the host administrator enter the installer’s texting address into the Host
before installation time. Once installation is completed, the installer will want to have
their texting address taken off of the alert list for this site to prevent the Host from
sending the installer future tank activity alerts.
10] Once a successful report has completed, secure the sensor cable using appropriate
fasteners (cable ties, etc.). Route the sensor cable to make sure the cable will not be
damaged by a moving object such as a tank dome or hood. Before leaving the
installation site, make sure any programming magnets are removed from the CTM
enclosure. Normal operating mode is with NO programming magnets installed.
