Please read through the entire set of instructions and verify that you have all of the

Items Included with your Remote Display
(1) ION-9100 Remote Tank Level Display Module
(2) ION-9422 Display Module USB Wall-plug Power Adapter
SETTING UP YOUR DISPLAY
To begin using your new Remote Tank Display, you must associate or “pair” your display with your
IONIT fluid level sensor (ION-9071) located on your oil tank. Follow Step 1 below to associate your
display to your oil level sensor. By default, your display is setup for the most common oil tank type
and size, a Granby type 275 gallon standard vertical oil tank. If you have a different type/size tank
please follow Step 2 below. Also, your display is setup by default to operate as a display only.
There are several other operating modes for advanced functionality. Please see Step 3 for
configuring the operating modes of your 9100.
STEP 1: Associate (“pair”) Your 9071 Fluid Level Sensor to Your 9100
Remote Tank Display
1.
Plug the 9100 into its wall-plug USB power adapter and into an outlet near your 9071 level sensor
2.
The 9100 will power on and every other LED will be flashing RED (meaning, not associated with a 9071)
3.
Place the 9071 into fast mode by swiping a magnet over the black dot on the 9071. The 9071 will remain
in fast mode for about 4 minutes.
4.
Once the 9071 is in fast mode, after about 10 seconds the 9100 will lock onto
the 9071’s signal be paired with it, then the 9100 will display the fluid level
from the 9071.
5.
With the 9071 in fast mode, unplug the 9100 and its power supply and move it
to a convenient location in your home where you want to view your tank level
remotely. Plug in the power supply to a live un-switched electrical outlet, and
then plug the 9100 in to it. The 9100 will display the Received Signal Strength
Indicator (RSSI) and fluid level.
6.
While the 9071 remains in fast mode, the 9100 will display the RSSI between the 9071 and 9100 in
ORANGE LED bars with a RED bar at top, then display the tank level in GREEN, alternating until the
9071 exits fast mode.
7.
Once the 9071 has exited fast mode, the 9100 will display the tank level. Since the 9071 transmits the
tank level once per hour, the 9100 will display the fluid level in the tank as reported by the 9071 during
its last transmission.
8.
On each subsequent hourly 9071 transmission, the 9100 will display the RSSI for about 1 second, and then display the tank level.
STEP2: Select the Your Correct Tank Type and Size
Your 9100 is setup by default for a Granby 275 gallon vertical tank. To select a different tank:
1.
Hold the magnet to the upper LEFT side of the 9100 display module lined up with the “i” in IONIT’s logo (shown
by the red arrow), until the display flashes
2.
Remove the magnet
3.
Swipe magnet at the same spot each time to increment the ORANGE LED bar from the first bar position at the
bottom (position 1) to the top bar (position 10), per the Tank Type/Size table below.
4.
Once the correct tank is selected, place and hold the magnet on the left side of the 9100 again until the display
returns to normal. Your selected tank is locked in to your 9100 now.
Note: The unit will revert to normal operation using the previously selected tank size if there is no activity for 10 seconds
