high tank level warning screen to the PC when the
tank level reaches 10% capacity, alerting the Sys-

vice fluids and the High setting is for used oil tanks.
This field is alpha/numeric. For 1 - 99 TLMs use
the following numbering 01, 02, 03, … 09. For 100
- 999 TLMs use the following numbering 001, 002,
003, … 010, 011, 012. This ensures the tanks will
be listed in the correct sequence in the Matrix sys-
tem. To avoid issues with the reporting function, do
not use commas in data fields.
