WESROC Residential LTE Cellular Tank Monitor - Operation Manual Safety Information Hazardous Environments The WESROC Residential LTE Cellular Tank Monitor (RTM) is designed for safe use in environments containing hazardous vapors. However, certain precautions need to be taken to ensure the safety of the person(s) working with the RTM, the tank, and any associated equipment.
WESROC Residential LTE Cellular Tank Monitor - Operation Manual Overview Device Characteristics The WESROC Residential LTE Cellular Tank Monitor (RTM) is used to remotely monitor the level of the contents of a tank. The tank level and additional event and status information are reported to the WESROC Host system (Host) at scheduled intervals. In addition, the RTM will report to the Host immediately to track tank events in real time.
WESROC Residential LTE Cellular Tank Monitor - Operation Manual Installation Mounting Location The WESROC Residential LTE Cellular Tank Monitor (RTM) is designed to be installed directly on the tank to be monitored. The RTM is connected to the tank gauge by the tank level sensor and sensor cable. The RTM itself may be attached to the tank with the supplied mounting magnet. The RTM may also be located a few feet away from the tank if necessary to improve cellular reception.
WESROC Residential LTE Cellular Tank Monitor - Operation Manual Host Information The customer information, installation location, and tank configuration for the installation site must be entered into the WESROC Host system (Host) BEFORE the RTM is installed on the tank. A RTM Installation Information Worksheet outlining the required information is included in the box and is also available from your host administrator, or from WESROC Monitoring Solutions.
WESROC Residential LTE Cellular Tank Monitor - Operation Manual 6] 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.
WESROC Residential LTE Cellular Tank Monitor - Operation Manual Operation General After the WESROC Residential LTE Cellular Tank Monitor (RTM) has been installed on the tank to be monitored; it will periodically report tank level and activity data, and system status information to the WESROC Host system (Host). Reports can be triggered by expiration of a scheduled report interval timer, or by tank level events or conditions.
WESROC Residential LTE Cellular Tank Monitor - Operation Manual NORMAL Mode: (No programming magnets.) Normal mode is used while the RTM is monitoring the level of the tank. This is the default operating mode of the RTM once it has been installed. While in this mode, the RTM will wake up once per minute and measure the level of the tank contents. The RTM will then go back to sleep or will take the appropriate action if the tank level has changed since the last measurement.
WESROC Residential LTE Cellular Tank Monitor - Operation Manual Tank Level Measurement The RTM wakes up and measures the level of the tank contents once per minute. This enables the RTM to be very responsive to changing tank level conditions and to more accurately qualify events such as tank fills or tank draws. The tank level is reported in a number ranging from 0 to 99, representing the tank level in percent full.
WESROC Residential LTE Cellular Tank Monitor - Operation Manual Tank Critical Low Condition: A tank critical low condition will be qualified by the RTM when the tank level has dropped below the configured tank critical low threshold. Missing Sensor Condition: A bad or missing sensor condition will be qualified by the RTM when the tank level has dropped to 0% for a pre-determined amount of time. The qualification of this condition is not configurable.
WESROC Residential LTE Cellular Tank Monitor - Operation Manual Portable Diagnostic Unit General The handheld WESROC Portable Diagnostic Unit (PDU) is used to configure and monitor the status of the WESROC Residential LTE Cellular Tank Monitor (RTM). This valuable device should be considered an essential part of any installation tool kit. The following is a summary of the sections of the PDU interface that are designed for use with the RTM.
WESROC Residential LTE Cellular Tank Monitor - Operation Manual PDU Screens Logo Screen: This is the first screen displayed when the PDU is powered up. This screen will contain the WESROC logo, or may contain your company logo if arrangements have been made for a custom logo. Press the right arrow key on the PDU to move to the Device List Screen. This screen will only be displayed once when the PDU is powered on.
WESROC Residential LTE Cellular Tank Monitor - Operation Manual Main Menu Screen: This screen contains a list of screens that can be selected depending on what type of action you want to take. Press the up arrow or down arrow keys to select the desired screen. Press the right arrow key to move to the selected screen. Press the left arrow key to return to the Device List Screen.
WESROC Residential LTE Cellular Tank Monitor - Operation Manual System Configuration Screen: This screen contains a list of RTM system configuration parameters. Press the up arrow and down arrow keys to select a configuration parameter to change. Not all of the system configuration parameters are visible on the screen at the same time. Press the right arrow key to move to the selected configuration parameter editing screen. Press the left arrow key to return to the Main Menu Screen.
WESROC Residential LTE Cellular Tank Monitor - Operation Manual Details Screens: This is a series of screens that can be used to view detailed information about the RTM system status, the tank level status and history, and information about the cellular network during the last report to the Host. Press the up arrow and down arrow keys to move between the various detail screens. Press the left arrow key to return to the Main Menu Screen.
WESROC Residential LTE Cellular Tank Monitor - Operation Manual Command List Screen: This screen contains a list of commands that can be used to control or configure the RTM. Press the up arrow and down arrow keys to move between the various commands. Press the right arrow key to execute a command or to configure a parameter on the RTM. Press the left arrow key to return to the Main Menu Screen. NOTE: A PDU with firmware earlier than version 5.
WESROC Residential LTE Cellular Tank Monitor - Operation Manual System Configuration Parameters General The WESROC Residential LTE Cellular Tank Monitor (RTM) system configuration parameters can be modified using the WESROC Portable Diagnostic Unit (PDU). These configuration parameters can also be modified by the WESROC Host system (Host) during a report. Parameter List Base ID: Used to identify a particular RTM device in the Host database.
WESROC Residential LTE Cellular Tank Monitor - Operation Manual Local Display Mode: Enable Local Display mode to configure the RTM to transmit ISM radio data packets to a local display device. Disable if not used to maximize battery life. Range: Enable or Disable Default: Disabled ISM Transmitter Number: Sets the transmitter number of the RTM. The local display device will display this number next to the displayed tank level. This feature is very useful in multiple tank applications.
WESROC Residential LTE Cellular Tank Monitor - Operation Manual Tank Fill Threshold: The tank fill event qualification amount in percent full. Min: 3%; Max: 95% Default: 10%; Disable: 0% Tank Draw Threshold: The tank draw event qualification amount in percent full. Min: 3%; Max: 95% Default: 15%; Disable: 0% Critical High Threshold: The tank critical high condition level in percent full. Min: 5%; Max: 95% Default: 0%; Disable: 0% Warning High Threshold: The tank warning high condition level in percent full.
WESROC Residential LTE Cellular Tank Monitor - Operation Manual Battery Replacement The WESROC Residential LTE Cellular Tank Monitor (RTM) uses a field replaceable 3.6V lithium thionyl chloride battery supplied by WESROC Monitoring Solutions. The RTM operates on a very small amount of power, but eventually the battery will need replacement.
