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.
Operating Modes
The RTM has four basic operating modes, only one of which is used during normal
operation. The other three modes are used for installation, configuration, or storage
purposes. The four modes are selected by the installer using one or two small round
programming magnets. The magnets are placed in the programming magnet recesses on
the ends of the RTM enclosure when selecting different operating modes. One
programming magnet is supplied with each RTM – it is recommended to keep a few extra
magnets on hand for use when configuring a RTM.
OFF Mode: (One programming magnet in OFF position.)
Off mode is used for storage of the RTM. This is the mode the RTM will be in when
shipped from the factory. When in Off mode, the RTM will wake up once per second and
check the position of the programming magnets. If the installer has moved the
programming magnet position(s) the RTM will switch to the newly selected mode. If not,
the RTM will resume sleeping for another second. Always leave the RTM in the Off mode
to minimize battery drain and to minimize cellular data charges when a RTM is not in use.
