How to Use the Gallagher One Tank System with Desktop Display (G98133)

Connecting the Tank Unit to the Indoor Sensor

1. Plug the desktop display into mains power using the included power adapter.
2. Plug the sensor cable into the tank unit and lock it into position by turning the “thumb lock” on the connector body.
3. Confirm the display screen is showing “Waiting”, then press and hold the circular push button on the bottom of the tank unit. Note: The unit does not always pair the first time so, if you receive a RED flashing light, wait a moment, then hold the push-button again.
4. When the tank unit successfully connects to the system, the LED light next to the button will illuminate GREEN for 3 seconds.
5. The LCD module will beep, and the message “Tank Added” will be displayed on the display unit.
6. Press EXIT to enter the main menu.

Installation

Initially, the system needs to know the approximate height of your water tank before installation. Instrument Choice Scientists recommend that you physically measure your tank height. The correct height to measure is the height from the base of the water tank to the overflow outlet.

Once this height is known, reduce the measured value by 20cm and enter this calculated figure into the HEIGHT menu screen. For example, if your tank is 2.2m high, enter 2.0m into the HEIGHT settings screen. If the exact height is unknown, enter an approximate height using the lower side of the approximation.

Entering a reduced tank height allows the system to calibrate to the precise height more accurately.

1. After connecting your tank, the indoor console will automatically display the HEIGHT adjustment screen after pressing exit (step 5 above). If not – navigate to the height adjustment screen by pressing TANK > SETTINGS > HEIGHT.
2. Use the UP and DOWN arrows to adjust the height.
3. Press EXIT to save and return to the main menu.
4. Take the tank unit and the connected sensor cable to your tank and lower the sensor to the bottom. Ensure the sensor is located at the tank's base and away from the water outflow.
5. Position the tank unit on the top of the tank for maximum exposure to sunlight. Use the included 10mm x 25mm stainless steel screws to mount the tank unit to the top of your tank.
6. Attach the black multi-directional antenna to the top of the tank unit. Tighten the antenna until it is finger tight.

Menu Overview

1. Touch the MENU button on the main screen to access all menu options in the system.

      3. DENSITY: This submenu allows you to adjust the density fluids in individual tanks. The default factory density setting is 1.0 (water). The system will enable a range of Specific Gravities (SG) from 0.5 through to 2.0 to measure a range of liquids such as molasses. Use the UP and DOWN arrows to adjust the value, then press EXIT to return to the SETTINGS submenu.
      4. FILTER: This helpful feature will remind you when a tank filter needs to be replaced. Use the UP and DOWN arrows to select the number of months for replacement and touch SET. The FILTER REPLACE icon will be displayed when the timer expires.
   5. Press BACK twice to return to the MAIN menu.

   Pump Settings

3. Under TANK, the next option is PUMP. Use this menu to connect a Wireless Pump Controller (WPC) to the network. Once a wireless pump controller is added, additional menu items will illuminate, such as remove, control options and a host of pump specific settings.

   Indoor Console Settings

4. The third option on the main menu is SETTINGS. Press ENTER to view the four options in the SETTINGS submenu.
5. OPTIONS: Selecting OPTIONS under the settings menu allows to you enable/disable a selection of alerts and indicators. Touch each item you wish to switch on or off.

   3. ENABLE ABNORMAL USAGE ALERT: Enables/disables a warning feature that alerts the user if an abnormal amount of fluid has been used from any tank connected to the system.
   4. ENABLE TANK NOT RECEIVING ALERT: Enables a warning feature that alerts the user if communications with any tank unit on the network is lost.
6. DISPLAY: The next option under SETTINGS is DISPLAY. Use this to set the brightness of the display unit. Press the UP and DOWN arrows to adjust and press BACK once the desired level is achieved.
7. USAGE: The next option is USAGE. Under the USAGE submenu, you can reset the memory of historical usage for a tank connected to the system. Deleting the history cannot be reversed, so take care in using this function.
8. FACTORY: To restore the display unit keypad to the factory default settings, use this option. Performing this will also remove all tank units connected to the system.
9. Returning to the main menu, press MORE for additional MENU options.

   History Settings

10. HISTORY: This function displays the water level in the selected tank for the preceding 30 days in a graphical format. Touch the graph to scroll through any additional tanks connected to the system.

    Clean Setting

11. CLEAN: This clever function allows the Display Unit surface to be cleaned. The touchscreen “touch” function is disabled during this time to prevent unwanted button inputs. It is best to clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp cloth. The clean screen mode will cancel in 30 seconds. A count-down timer is displayed during this period for your convenience.
