to resolve problems after the upgrade, refer to the LevelMaster user manual or see 
the contact information in the back of this guide to call for support.  

5.1  Errors observed on the MasterLink 

The following are common errors displayed when using the MasterLink software to 
connect with the LevelMaster. 

5.1.1  Communication when using MasterLink (local connection) 

The errors described in Table 3 display when communication cannot be established 
with the LevelMaster. 

Table 3: Communication errors on MasterLink 

Description 

Cause 

Solution 

Device did not 
respond 

MasterLink is unable to 
establish communication with 
the unit for the following 
reasons: 
 
Incorrect port (Comm. Port) 
selected 
 
Incorrect baud rate selected 
 
Faulty cabling 
 
USB port not assigned to 
virtual COM port on laptop 

Select correct comm port and 
baud rate 
 
Verify wiring. 
 
Check cabling:  
 
Verify converter cable and 
adaptors are securely attached. 
 
Verify batteries on converter cable 
are charged and connected 
correctly (positive voltage terminal 
must be connected to red wire) 
 
Install drivers for the serial-to-USB 
adapter and verify that a virtual 
serial port is assigned. USB ports 
are usually identified as COM 4 or 
higher. Legacy serial ports are 
normally assigned COM3 or lower. 

The following 
message is displayed: 
"The COM port you 
selected does not 
exist or is used by 
another application"  

MasterLink did not find the 
laptop communication port to 
communicate with. 

On the main MasterLink screen: 
Make sure the com port is 
detected 
Select the correct port.

The errors described in Table 4 display on the monitor tab. 

Table 4: Measurement errors on MasterLink 

Description 

Cause 

Solution 

Incorrect Tank Level measurement

Incorrect float configuration 
(wrong configuration 
chosen or wrong default 
file downloaded) 

Select Setup tab, 
select Hardware
