Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your water level monitor:

1. Receiver Power-On and Initial Settings:
   1. Power the receiver unit using either the provided USB to Type-C cable or by inserting 3 AAA batteries (not included).
   2. The receiver will enter tank depth setting mode. The setting range is 0.5m to 5m (1.64ft to 16.4ft). Adjust as needed.
2. Set Air Gap Value:
   1. Press the "SET" button on the receiver to configure the air gap value. The default display is "0.50".
   2. The setting range for the air gap is 0.5m to 5m (1.64ft to 16.4ft). Adjust this value to match the distance from the top of your tank to the maximum water level.
3. Set Automatic Water Filling Level (Optional):
   1. Press the "SET" button again to set the value for automatic water filling level.
   2. The setting range is 10% to 50%. This feature can be used to trigger an alert or action when the water level drops below a certain percentage.
4. Transmitter Power-On and Installation:
   1. Ensure the transmitter unit has 6 AAA 1.2V NiMH 900mAh rechargeable batteries installed (included).
   2. Install the transmitter on top of your water tank. For optimal solar charging, position the solar panel on the sunny side of the tank.
   3. Ensure the transmitter is installed correctly, with the ultrasonic sensor facing downwards into the tank and clear of obstructions. Avoid faulty installations where the sensor is submerged or obstructed.

Operating Instructions

Once set up, the monitor will continuously display the water level and temperature. Here are key operational aspects:

• Water Level Display: The receiver shows the current water level numerically and with a dynamic bar graph.
• Temperature Display: Both indoor ambient temperature and water tank temperature are displayed.
• High/Low Level Alarms: The device will sound an alarm for 120 seconds if the water level reaches predefined high or low thresholds, or if the tank is empty.
• Time Alarm: A configurable time alarm function is available.
• Backlight: The receiver display includes a backlight for improved visibility in low light conditions.

Maintenance

• Battery Management: The transmitter's NiMH batteries are charged by the solar panel. Ensure the solar panel is clean and exposed to sunlight for optimal charging. Replace batteries if they no longer hold a charge.
• Cleaning: Periodically clean the solar panel on the transmitter and the display screen of the receiver with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Transmitter Placement: Regularly check the transmitter's mounting to ensure it remains secure and correctly positioned over the tank.
• Environmental Conditions: While the transmitter is IP65 waterproof, avoid prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions if possible to extend product lifespan.
