1218CT Fuel Management System Translator Kit

Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Instructions

The 1218CT Fuel Management System Translator Kit is designed as an add-on to the 1218C Electronic Tank Gauge (also 

referred to as the 1218C Console), providing an interface between the 1218C Console and any fuel management system 

(FMS) that utilizes TLS protocol. This kit will include all electrical components and housings required to power the 1218CT 

Communication Module using the same power source already installed for the 1218C Console. The 1218CT is capable of 

receiving commands from any FMS communicating with TLS protocol and responding with live or historic data from the 

1218C Console in real time. 

Failure to follow any or all of the warnings and instructions in this document could result in a hazardous liquid spill, 

which could result in property damage, environmental contamination, fire, explosion, serious injury or death.
