Setup and Installation
1. Choosing an Installation Location
Select a location directly above the water tank where the ultrasonic sensor will have a clear, unobstructed path to the liquid surface. Avoid areas with excessive turbulence or foam.
2. Mounting the Sensor
- Using the provided mounting hardware, securely attach the sensor unit to a stable surface directly above the tank opening.
- Ensure the sensor is level and pointing vertically downwards towards the liquid surface.
- Maintain a minimum distance of 20 cm from the tank walls to prevent false readings.
3. Power Connection
Connect the power supply to the designated input port on the device. Ensure the power source matches the device's voltage requirements (refer to specifications). Once connected, the device will power on and begin initialization.
4. Initial Calibration (if applicable)
Some models may require initial calibration to set the tank depth or empty level. Refer to the on-screen prompts or specific instructions provided with your unit for calibration procedures. Typically, this involves setting the maximum and minimum water levels.
Operating Instructions
1. Power On
Once connected to power, the device will automatically power on. The digital display will show the current liquid level.
2. Reading the Display
The display typically shows the water level in a chosen unit (e.g., cm, inches, percentage). Refer to the display indicators for current readings.
3. Setting Alarms
The TS-FT007 features high and low-level alarms. To set these:
- Access the alarm settings menu (refer to device buttons or interface).
- Set the desired high-level threshold. When the water level exceeds this, an alarm will activate.
- Set the desired low-level threshold. When the water level drops below this, an alarm will activate.
- Confirm and save your settings.
4. Alarm Indication
When an alarm condition is met, the device will typically emit an audible alert and/or display a visual indicator (e.g., flashing light, on-screen message). Acknowledge or address the alarm as necessary.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the sensor surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or debris that may affect readings. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the mounting and wiring for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Environmental Conditions: Ensure the operating environment remains within the specified temperature and humidity ranges to prolong the device's lifespan.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No Power/Display Off | Power cable disconnected; Faulty power supply. | Check power connections; Test power supply. |
| Inaccurate Readings | Sensor obstructed; Incorrect calibration; Excessive turbulence. | Clear sensor path; Recalibrate device; Relocate sensor if turbulence is an issue. |
| Alarm Not Triggering | Alarm thresholds set incorrectly; Alarm function disabled. | Verify alarm settings; Ensure alarm function is enabled. |
| Constant Alarm | Water level consistently above/below threshold; Faulty sensor. | Adjust alarm thresholds; Check actual water level; Contact support if sensor is suspected faulty. |
