- WEMScontroller3.
- Run Channel Setup Wizard To Configure Analogue Input.
- Configure Fuel Tank Control Points.
This guide covers the first-time setup of an Fuel Tank, and assumes that a WEMScontroller3 has already been through .
- Select the channel type as Analogue Input in order to configure the input.
- Select Multifunction Sensor 1, and then click Next.
- Select Temperature Sensor, and then click Next.
- Choose the properties for the channel, and then click Next.

- Desired Range: Only applicable
when reading a 0–10 voltage in the analogue input. This is the
maximum value of the unit being measured or what the reading will
be at 10 volts. Example: for a CO2 sensor that reads
0–2000 ppm (parts per million), the desired range would be set
to 2000. The unit depends on what is being measured.
- Desired Offset: Only applicable
when reading a 0–10 voltage in the analogue input. This is the
minimum value of the unit being measured or what the reading will
be at 0 volts. Usually set to 0 unless the lowest reading is not
0. The unit depends on what is being measured
- Desired Sample Rate: The number
of seconds between each read of the analogue value being measured
(temperature, light etc.).
- Desired Average Value: The number
of analogue reads over which the average is calculated. Example:
a temperature sensor will read every 5 seconds and then after
30 readings it will display the average temperature of those 1–30
readings. When the next sample read comes in (reading 31) it will
then average readings 2–31 so it becomes a rolling average. These
average values are not visible in the system. The calculations
and data are kept locally on the device PCB.
- Set the Object type to Fuel Level, and then click Next.
- Enter a description for the Fuel Level Object, and then click Next.
- Choose a location, and then click Next.
- Click Next to the confirmation message.
- No other channels need to be configured, so click Finish to exit the Channel Setup Wizard.
The Channel Setup Wizard is now complete and control is returned to the Floorplan.
A new Fuel Tank icon appears in the Safety/Metering Layer of the Floorplan.
