INTRODUCTION
Overview
The FRC TankVision indicator shows the actual volume of liquid in a tank. The
liquid in the tank exerts a pressure that is measured by a sensor. As the amount of
liquid changes, the pressure it exerts on the sensor changes proportionally. The pressure
change is used to calculate the exact volume of liquid in the tank. The TankVision can
be calibration to accurately display the volume of liquid in tanks of all shapes and sizes.
The display module is able to communicate with other display modules over the
FRC datalink. This allows for one master display module to control multiple displays.
The module also provides an output for cab miniature displays, remote light drivers,
and a low level warning buzzer.
The TankVision indicator is a unique design made up of an extended wide view
lens with nine super bright LEDs mounted behind it. This allows the display to be
visible and clearly read from all line-of-sight angles for a full 180 degrees.
The pressure/vacuum foam tank vent is supplied for use on foam concentrate storage
tanks. These tanks should remain closed to the atmosphere. The FRC vent enables
the tank to compensate for changes in pressure or vacuum due to thermal expansion,
lling, or when withdrawing foam concentrate from the tank.
The MaxVision LED tank display provides a remote, wide angle view of how
much is in the tank in 1/8 tank level increments.
The remote light driver provides the option to have four 60 watt remote lights
controlled by the TankVision to show full, 3/4, 1/2, and 1/4 tank.
