MAG-XL Flex Probe Installation
Installing the TLS XL-Transmitter

6.
Holding the brass cap, not the probe cable, lower the brass riser cap (and probe) onto the brass ring already
on the riser. Raise the two cap locking levers into place on top of the cap.
7.
Raise the conduit hangers up the 4-inch riser pipe until the top one is several inches below the cap and brass
ring. Tighten the bolts (items 3 and 6 in the Figure 6) that hold the mounting bracket in place.
8.
Lower the battery pack into its support bracket (see Figure 13). Do not connect battery cable to battery pack
at this time.
PROBE INSTALLATION - TOP OF TANK 2-INCH PIPE FITTING
IMPORTANT! Installing the MAG-XL Flex Probe requires two people.
1.
When lifting the coiled probe prior to installation, the stainless steel weight must always hang straight down
(see Figure 11). DO NOT BEND THE TUBING. Do not let the radius of the coiled probe become less than
23” or the brass tube may kink.
KINKING THE PROBE IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY!
CAUTION! Do not let one person lower the probe into the tank to avoid bends in the tube or twists
to the coils!
2.
Using two people as shown in Figure 11, lower the weight into the tank. Do not drop the weight the full length
of the probe or it may damage the end of the probe. Slowly feed the probe into the riser, cutting the remaining
tie wraps, one by one, as you go. Do not cut all of the tie wraps at once. They have been sequentially marked.
Start with tie wrap number 1 at the bottom end of the probe.
3.
When all but the last couple of feet of the probe tubing is in the tank, one person must continue to hold the
top of the probe tubing while the second person applies pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to threads of the
threaded fitting at the top of the probe and then screws the probe fitting into the 3/4” end of the Adapter/Re-
ducer. The entire probe assembly is supported by this connection, so the probe’s top fitting must be tight-
ened securely in the Adapter/Reducer.
4.
Apply pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the threads of the 2-inch tank fitting. Holding the Adapter/Reducer,
not the probe cable, lower the Adapter/Reducer (and probe) onto the tank fitting and screw on the Adapter/
Reducer and tighten it using the strap wrench.
Installing the TLS XL-Transmitter
TLS XL-TRANSMITTER INSTALLATION - MANWAY 4-INCH RISER PIPE (ref. Figure 13
1.
Make sure the battery/dc power cable is not connected to the battery pack or dc power source at this time.
WARNING! To prevent ignition of flammable or combustible atmosphere the battery cable must
be disconnected from the battery pack.
2.
Get the pre-assembled junction box/conduit assembly. Remove the cover of the junction box. Feed the probe
cable into the bottom threaded opening of the junction box/conduit and screw the junction box/conduit onto
the probe’s threaded fitting in the top of the riser cap until tight. Coil up the probe cable and hang it out of the
way.
3.
Feed the end of the cable up through the reducing bushing, the 1/2” nipple and out the 1/2” brass hex adapt-
er. Coil up about 12 inches of cable in the junction box (for a service loop) and then replace and tighten the
cover on the junction box.
4.
Get the TLS XL-Transmitter. Looking at the cover of the transmitter, notice that one of the cord grips is la-
belled to receive the probe cable and the other to receive the battery pack/dc power cable. Remove the nut
from the probe cable cord grip and notice that the rubber bushing is marked with a white dot (the bushing for
the battery cable has a larger opening and is not marked). Using a T-10 Torx driver, remove the cover of the
