TANKMONITOR TCM4
Page 2 V2.3 - August 2011
1. INTRODUCTION
Dear customer,
thank you for buying the tankmonitor TCM 4. This digital unit is state of the art in tank monitoring
On the large, illuminated display you can read:
x the actual filling level of up to four tanks
You have the possibility of:
x adjusting an alarm threshold (full or empty alarm)
The tank levels are shown as a bar and in % or litres.
The TCM 4 is easy to operate and well readable. You have a quick overview of up to four tank levels.
For level-sensoring we recommend the sensors of our TGT / TGW - series, the ultrasonic sensors UTV and
the fresh water flow sensor DFS. These sensors are not part of the purchased parts package.
Sensors of other manufacturers can be connected as well; depending on the type you may need a hardware
adaption at our company.
In the SETUP- menu the display will be configurated to the connected sensors. Also you have the possibility
to adjust the tankmonitor to your given tank - geometry to show the real tank filling level correctly.
Please note: only when using the flow sensors DFS the shown display of litres is correct, because it mea-
sures the flowed litres. If you`re using other sensors, the TCM calculates the remaining tank capacity by
the tank volume and the actual level. Depending on the accuracy of the sensors it cannot be litre-correct.
EXTENDED ADJUSTMENT POSSIBILITIES starting from software 2A - May 2010:
the tank depth can be adjusted to the centimetre by using ultrasonic sensors UTV40 or
UTV80. If you`re using a distance ring to balance the off zone of the sensors, you can
compensate this value too! (please see page 9).
Please, read the Instruction Manual carefully and follow all instructions before putting the
equipment in operation.
1.1. PURPOSE
The tankmonitors of the TCM-series can only be used with suitable tank sensors for low voltage purposes
DC 10-30V. They were designed for the use on yachts or camper vans and must be used in an enclosed
environment which is protected against rain, moisture, dust and condensation.
Don`t use the TCM tankmonitors in places where there could be danger of explosion by gas or dust.
