   Xact Small Tank Monitoring System

 

 

Troubleshooting 

 

In the event the Xact calibration process fails, it will report one of two results: 
The first screen shown at right indicates that

 

calibration failed because 

the fill level measured is different than the expected fill level entered by the 
installer.    This  usually  means  that  the  value  entered  by  the  installer  was  in 
error due to incorrect readings from the float gauge on the tank. 

If  a  fill  percentage  was  used  during  the  calibration,  deselect  this  and 

check  the 

Fill  level  unknown

  box  and  re-run  the  calibration  cycle.    If  the 

calibration result is again unsuccessful, follow the instructions below. 

The  second  screen  shown  indicates  that  calibration  failed  with  no  fill 

level detected. 

1.

 

Verify  that  the  tank  is  at  least  20%  full.    Calibration  should  not  be 
performed on tanks with less than 20% fill. 

2.

 

Loosen the strap and remove the sensor.  Ensure that the tank is free of 
debris  at  the  installation  point,  and  that  the  tank  is  level  from  end  to 
end.    Clean the  gel  off  of  the  lens,  reapply  the  correct  amount  of  gel, 
then re-install the sensor, making sure  that the sensor is installed with 
the correct alignment.  Tighten strap and run the calibration cycle. 

3.

 

If  the  calibration  result  is  again 

unsuccessful

,  it  may  be  necessary  to 

move  the  Xact  System  to  a  new  location  on  the  tank  and  try  again.  
Repeat the installation process until you achieve a 

successful

 calibration.  

Some  tanks  are  more  difficult  to  set  up  and  the  Xact  System  will  only 
allow a successful calibration at a good installation point on the tank. 

 
During  the  installation  process  you  might  enc

ounter  various  “Error” 

notices  in  the  application  software.    These  notices  generally  deal  with  low 
power issues, or disconnected wires.  Follow the prompts to resolve problems.  
Adherence to these suggestions will help achieve a successful installation.
