Install the Tank Gauge Plus on your tank
During setup take care not to drop the Tank Gauge or Float onto the ground as
it may damage the measurement device within the unit.
-
Drill a 38mm – 44mm (1 ½” – 1 ¾”) hole in the top of the tank. Select a location where the gauge will be easily viewable, and the center should at least 150mm / 6” from the tank wall.
-
Twist off the Mounting Plate from the Tank Gauge.
-
Position the Mounting Plate in the hole. The Rain Harvesting logo and small arrow will face the same way as the dial once it is installed.
TIP! The small arrows on the mounting plate indicate which way the gauge can face when installed. -
Screw the mounting plate to the top of the tank.
-
Holding the gauge, rotate the Empty Indicator to the tank height shown on the front label.
-
Gently lower the Float through the hole into the tank, until it rests on the water’s surface.
-
Insert the Tank Gauge into the mounting plate and twist it into position.
MAINTENANCE
Periodically you will need to replace the 2 x AA batteries (lithium or
alkaline). Lithium batteries will give the best performance.
To check if batteries need replacing, remove the rear cover and press the
button. If the light does not blink, replace the batteries.
If required, replace the batteries and then follow the instructions in the App
to recalibrate the gauge.
Replace the rear cover, ensuring it is properly seated and sealed.
If required, wipe the gauge clean with a damp cloth. Do not use any cleaning
products.
WARNINGS
- Only use AA Lithium or Alkaline batteries and ensure the batteries are inserted correctly (do not reverse polarity).
- Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of battery.
- Do not expose the batteries to excessive heat or fire.
- Remove batteries if they are flat or if the unit will not be used for a long time.
