Frequently Asked Questions

The DC3 TLM is designed for a wide range of tank types, including metal and non-metal tanks. It offers both invasive and non-invasive installation options, making it versatile for different tank setups. The radar sensor can mount externally on non-metal tanks without needing a new tank opening, saving time and costs.

Our radar-based TLM provides high precision, with accuracy down to 2mm (0.0787 inches). This accuracy ensures reliable monitoring for critical applications, such as chemicals and petroleum products.

Unlike ultrasonic sensors, DC3 Radar TLM is unaffected by temperature fluctuations and is resistant to dirt and buildup, making it ideal for harsh environments and a wider range of chemical applications. Radar technology offers better consistency and reliability in challenging conditions.

The DC3 TLM is designed for long-lasting performance with up to a 10-year battery life, depending on usage. The lithium battery is replaceable, ensuring that the monitor remains in service for extended periods without needing a full replacement.

Yes, the DC3 TLM includes data integration capabilities and can be configured to work with third-party data systems, allowing you to consolidate your tank level data with other monitoring tools in your operation. This integration is customizable to meet specific KPI requirements.

Yes, the DC3 TLM is equipped with programmable alarms. It can detect and automatically report tank fills or rapid depletions, allowing you to respond quickly to potential issues.

The DC3 TLM installs quickly and easily. For non-invasive installations, the process can take as little as 30 seconds. Just wipe the tank, remove the adhesive backing on the sensor, and place it on the tank. No extra drilling or tank modifications are needed.

Our TLM devices are built to withstand extreme environments, with an operating temperature range of -25°C to +50°C and IP68-rated water resistance. This makes them suitable for a variety of challenging field conditions.

Yes, the DC3 TLM is compatible with a broad range of chemicals, including corrosive and non-corrosive substances. This compatibility makes it ideal for monitoring tanks that hold chemicals, water, additives, and lubricants.

After installation, a supplied magnet is used to activate the TLM sensor. By holding the magnet over the device’s activation area for 5 seconds, the sensor will initiate communications, make measurements, and connect to the data server. This activation ensures the device is ready for operation with minimal setup.
