ABSTRACT:
A controller at a monitor location generates interrogate signals which are transmitted over a telephone line to a transmitting unit associated with a plurality of underground gasoline storage tanks. The transmitting unit responds to the interrogate signals to selectively couple pressure sensing lines to a pressure sensing transducer. Each line extends into a different one of the storage tanks and provides a pressure which is proportional to the depth of the liquid in the corresponding tank. As each line is coupled to the transducer in sequence, the transducer provides an output voltage corresponding to the sensed pressure. The output voltage controls a transmitter of the transmitting unit which generates an audio signal related in frequency to the sensed pressure, and the frequency signal is transmitted over the telephone line to the controller which detects and decodes the frequency signal and controls a display unit to provide a visual display of the liquid level in the selected tank.
