Package
- 1x ultrasonic fuel sensor
- 1x 8 meter extension cable
- 1x installation bracket with screws
- 1xabrasive paper
- 5x plastic ribbon for wire fixing
- 1x display for liquid height display (optional)
Before Installation
Please make sure take display and power bank for sensor installation.
Display Usage
Display is connected with sensor head and powered by power bank so as to show
current tanker fuel height. If the displayed height is same as current fuel
amount height, it means the current installation spot is right.
Before installation
- Park vehicle on flat road
- The height of current fuel amount in tank should be higher than 6cm, for construction vehicle or boat, the height must be higher than 12cm
- The installation spot is advised to be at the middle bottom of tank.
- The installation spot must be smooth, clean and clear.
Installation
Locate installation spot
- Put some couplant in the middle of sensor head
- Couplant is in the circle area
- Check if height display is right ,otherwise make sure the tank is smooth, clean and clear.
S ensor installation
Bracket installation
3.4 Paste waterproof glue
- area among sensor and bracket, paste waterproof glue
- area outside of the bracket, paste AB glue to strength bracket
- Display is always connected during the installation.
Power sensor and connect device
- Sensor Black for GND, Red for Power.
- Yellow: 0 5V is to connect with GPS speed limiter UT04s Grey wire.
