Installation Guide

T5 Series

Important: The density float is very fragile. Do not to damage the float’s coating; it provides electrical character-

istics to avoid static discharge and prevent product absorption (which will cause incorrect readings).

Overview

T5 series consoles with magnetostrictive probes (TSP-LL2) serial # 6XXXXX can have the Density Measurement Option

enabled. This feature measures and reports the density of product in a tank using the same probe by adding an additional

float (called ‘density float’) that will be located around and below the product float (close to the surface of the product). The

Density Measurement Option can be useful to help a site determine the quality of the product deliveries that they receive

and whether or not they’ve been altered in any way.
Density is calculated based on the distance between the product float and the density float. Due to high accuracy require-

ments, the product float and the density float will be calibrated as a pair when they are shipped from the factory and must

not be separated in the field. If either float is damaged, both will have to be replaced at the same time. Each pair of floats will

be provided with a calibration constant that needs to be programmed into the ATG in addition to the probe gradient.
The float set will also include a water float, which does not affect density measurement and may or may not be installed.

All float sets will include one of each of the following:

3" product float

4" density float

4" water float
