Overview

  1. Function Description
  2. Usage Features
  3. Maintenance Features

The TD 100 is a device used for programming and configuring Titan Logix's SensorLink desktop-based software, which is designed for managing TD Series transmitters. This guide outlines the process for creating and modifying strapping tables, as well as setting key operational parameters and tank variations.

Function Description:

The primary function of the TD 100, in conjunction with SensorLink, is to facilitate the setup and configuration of TD Series transmitters. This involves several key stages:

  1. Initiate Programming: This initial phase focuses on establishing a connection between the computer running SensorLink and the TD100 transmitter. This can be done either through a direct connection or via a Finch II display. A checklist ensures all prerequisites are met, such as the absence of flammable gases, vehicle power off, drained tank, availability of tools, the SV Bus Programming Kit, SensorLink installation, and the tank manufacturer-provided strapping table.

  2. Strapping Table Setup: This is a core function where the user inputs detailed information to create or modify a strapping table.

    • Probe Settings: Users select the probe type (e.g., Dual-Rod Probe), detection mode (Performance mode is recommended), depth units (e.g., Inches), and volume units (e.g., Gallons (US)) to match the manufacturer's specifications.
    • Strapping Table Settings: Depth and volume values are manually entered into a table, typically sourced from the tank manufacturer's strapping table. The system allows for adding and deleting rows, and importing CSV data.
    • Offset Measurement Settings: This step accounts for mechanical installation details. Users input tank thickness and probe offset measurements, selecting appropriate units. A note clarifies that if the probe is installed on top of a riser, the riser height should be included in the probe offset measurement.
    • Alarm Settings: Users configure alarm thresholds. For dual-rod probes, the spill alarm level is automatically set. For Coax probes, the spill level can be adjusted. The "Spill Alarm Reset" mode is selected (Band-Clear for dual-rod, Band-Clear or Auto-Clear for Coax). The HH (High-High) alarm threshold is manually entered, ensuring it's above 2Lo and 2" below the spill level.
    • Display Settings: The number of decimal places for volume data (Display Resolution) is selected to optimize display resolution, aiming for a maximum value close to but not exceeding 9999 when the decimal point is removed.
    • Sump and Riser Settings (Optional): If the tank has a sump, its depth value is entered. For TD100 transmitters supporting a 4-20mA current loop interface, 4mA and 20mA set points can be entered, with specific restrictions on their values.
    • Verification and Saving: The strapping table is verified for errors, and then saved to a suitable location, preferably in the .stb format.
    • Programming the Transmitter: Once the strapping table is complete and saved, it is programmed onto the TD100 transmitter. This involves selecting the appropriate COM port, powering the transmitter off and on, and then clicking the 'Program' button.

  3. Importing the Strapping Table: The device supports importing existing strapping tables from .stb or .csv formats.

    • From .stb Format: Users open the TD100 utility, select 'Import File' from the 'File' menu, choose the .stb file, and then 'Open' to copy the data. Parameters like offset measurement and alarm settings can then be adjusted.
    • From .csv Format: Similar to .stb import, users select 'Import CSV File'. The CSV file must be closed before importing. The system auto-populates table values, but other necessary information needs manual entry.

  4. Cloning the Strapping Table (TD80 to TD100): This feature allows users to transfer strapping table data from an existing TD80 transmitter to a TD100.

    • The process involves connecting to the TD80, powering it on, opening the TD80 Utility in SensorLink, and clicking 'Read' to copy the data.
    • Probe Type, Depth Units, Volume Units, and Display Precision are manually selected.
    • The data is then saved as an .stb file.
    • Finally, the user switches to the TD100 utility and imports the saved .stb file. A notable point is that when importing a TD80 table, the Standard Detection Mode is automatically selected, and a total offset of 1.813" is added to account for probe alignment differences.

Usage Features:

  • User-friendly Interface: SensorLink provides a structured, step-by-step approach to programming, guiding users through various settings.
  • Checklists: Each major section begins with a checklist to ensure all necessary conditions and tools are in place before proceeding.
  • Error Highlighting: During verification, any errors in the strapping table are highlighted for easy correction.
  • Flexible Connection Options: Supports both direct connection to the TD100 and connection through a Finch II display.
  • Data Import Capabilities: Allows importing strapping table data from .stb and .csv files, streamlining the setup process for existing configurations.
  • Cloning Functionality: Enables efficient transfer of configurations from older TD80 transmitters to TD100 units.
  • Post-Installation Configuration: Includes steps for setting the rotary switch on the Finch II display to match the desired display resolution.
  • Alarm Configuration: Provides detailed settings for spill, HH, and (through Finch II) fill and fall alarms.

Maintenance Features:

  • Testing: The manual outlines a testing phase to ensure proper functionality after installation and programming. This includes visually inspecting mechanical and electrical installations, and verifying the Finch II display shows the current firmware revision, compartment numbers, and tests the HORN relay. It also describes potential display messages like "2 LO", tank volume, error codes ("E xxxx"), or "Display dash lines" indicating communication issues.
  • Clear Active Alarms: Users can clear most active alarms (except Spill and Fail) by pressing the "ACK" button on the display.
  • Troubleshooting: The guide implicitly supports troubleshooting by providing detailed steps and checklists, allowing users to identify and correct issues during the programming and configuration process. For instance, the "COM Port not working?" prompt links to driver downloads.
  • Technical Support: The offset measurement section explicitly mentions contacting technical support for further assistance, indicating a support structure for complex issues.
