TLS Console Setup for MAG-XL Flex Probe
With the TLS RF System powered on and the Mag-XL Probes recognized by the TLS Console, begin the console
setup for each Mag-XL Probe(s). Figure 17 lists in-tank setup examples for a Mag-XL Probe.
Height Reading Adjustment
A MAG-XL Flex Probe cannot measure fuel on the bottom of the tank as the minimum height reading is between 7
and 22 inches. Also, depending on the length of the MAG-XL Flex Probe, a clearance distance between the probe
and tank bottom is required to compensate for the thermal expansion of the probe. To account for the loss of
clearance height, the fuel height reading of the MAG-XL Flex Probe must be adjusted on the TLS Console.
Use a tape measure to determine the height of fuel inside the tank. On the TLS Console enter a probe offset value
to match the height of the fuel float on the MAG-XL Flex Probe to the fuel height inside the tank. The probe offset
is typically a number (in inches) greater than, or equal to, the clearance between the end of the probe and the
bottom of the tank.
Setting the offset value for a 20’ MAG-XL Flex Probe:
• Mechanical Gage Reading
187 inches
• MAG-XL Flex Probe on TLS 181 inches
• Set the TLS probe offset
6.0 inches (positive 6” difference)
• After programming the offset value into the TLS Console, the respective fuel height now matches the
mechanical gage reading.
