Installing the TSP-K4A Probe Installation Kit
Installing the TSP-K4A Riser Cap Adapter
Apply pipe dope or pipe sealant to the riser cap adapter. Screw the riser cap
adapter into the top of the 4 inch (101.6 mm) riser pipe (reference Figure 6-1).
Attaching the Probe Support Plate
Locate the TSP-K4A steel support plate containing a rubber grommet and
insulating shoulder washer (reference Figure 6-1). Place the adjustment eyebolt
through the hole in the insulated nylon shoulder washer located in the center of the
support plate (with the insulated shoulder washer’s insulation side up). Thread the
wing nut onto the adjustment eyebolt. Finally, pull the probe cable through the
rubber grommet as shown in Figure 6-1.
Test the level probe to make sure that the Tank Sentinel console is receiving the
level readings before you actually position it within the tank. To do this, skip the
Positioning the Level Probe in a Tank, Adjusting Probe Height, and the last
step in Final Level Probe Installation Steps until all probes are tested.
Positioning the Level Probe in a Tank
Carefully lower the probe assembly into the tank. Allow the support plate to enter
the riser cap adapter and seat itself on the shoulder of the cap adapter (reference
Figure 6-1). Push the probe cable through the compression (cord grip) fitting at the
riser cap.
Adjusting the Probe Height
Make sure the probe is sitting on the bottom of the tank by loosening the wing nut
until you feel slack in the chain (the probe is resting on the bottom of the tank).
Then turn the wing nut clockwise until you feel that there is no slack in the
suspension chain. Hold the end of the adjustment rod and turn the wing nut
clockwise, 2 to 4 full turns (only). This will raise the probe approximately 1/8" to 1/4"
(3.2 to 6.4 mm) above the bottom of the tank (see Figure 6-1).
CAUTION The probe must not rest on the bottom of the tank ! Incorrect
volume and level readings, and erratic operation could result if the end of the probe
shaft rests on the bottom of the tank.
