TLS-350R only--Entering a Tank Tilt value is not recommended if the system is performing automatic Business
Inventory Reconciliation and AccuChart.
If the probe is installed in the center of the tank, the value is 000.00 Metric.
Within Setup Mode, Press FUNCTION until you In-Tank Setup, then press STEP until you see the message:
Tank Tilt allows you to compensate for a difference between fuel height at the ideal probe location (on the centreline
of the tank with no striker plate underneath) and at the actual probe position (offset from the tank centreline and/or
over a striker plate).
TLS-350R only--Entering a Tank Tilt value is not recommended if the system is performing automatic Business
Inventory Reconciliation and AccuChart.
Table A-1 lists offset values for various tank diametres/probe offset combinations (used in determining Tank Tilt).
Vertical offset values given in Table A-1 were derived from the formula:
Where,
Oh
= vertical offset height
R
= tank radius
Od
= offset distance from centreline (C/L).
Figure A-1 illustrates the four possible Tank Tilt computational scenarios.
