Using Instruction
-
Step 1: Setting your receiver plug
Measure your tank height, from the base of the tank to the base of the Apollo transmitter location. Using the Setting table provided on the right, select the height closest to your tank height.NB. On a bunded tank measure the inner tank height Refer to the lower height available. E.g. if your tank height is 975mm choose the setting of 950mm on the table. Set your pins to the required setting. E.g. 1400 mm height pins 1,3,5,6,8 in the up position.
Always set switch 1 up to enable the low level audible warning. -
Step 2: Choosing a suitable electrical socket
Choose a suitable electrical socket, located in closest proximity to the tank. The area should be free of other electrical appliances, wiring and any large steel or metal devices which could hinder the FM signal between the tank transmitter and receiver. Plug your receiver plug into the socket and switch on – the top bar will flash to indicate the unit is in learn mode and ready for matching. This bar will continue to flash for a period of 2 Minutes. -
Step 3: Matching the units
Note the black dot on the right hand side of the receiver. Note the black dot on the left hand side of the tank transmitter. Whilst the top bar is flashing on the receiver hold the tank transmitter against the receiver as shown, so that the black dots are aligned with the display screens facing you, as shown. Hold together. The bars will increase up the display screens. ONLY when all 10 bars are shown, will they flash to indicate that, the unique code is transferred and the units are matched. Remove the transmitter from the monitor immediately once all 10 of bars are reached -
Step 4 – Fitting the transmitter (after matching)
The procedure is the same for fitting to both old and new tanks. -
For Tank with pre-drilled 30/32mm hole
- Remove the cap from the hole and insert transmitter, ensuring the weather seal is securely in place.
- Ensure the transmitter is vertical on top of the tank
- fighten on to the tank using the 2 stainless steel 19mm long self – tapping screws supplied. Do not use longer screws. Do not over tighten.
-
For a Tank without a predrilled hole
- If a tank is not predrilled, then using a 30/32mm hole saw, drill a hole in the top of tank in suitable area to allow ease of fitting the transmitter and in an area that the transmitter can see the tanks contents. Position so that there are no internal obstructions. (i.e. ribs, stays, side of tank, internal equipment) that might interfere with the ultrasonic signal. Ensure the transmitter is a minimum of 10cm from any tank wall or edge.
- Use the Install Help diagram to insure suitable fitting.
- Ensure the transmitter is vertical on top of the tank.
- Tighten on to the tank using the 2 stainless steel 19mm long self – tapping screws supplied. Do not use longer screws. Do not over tighten. You have now completed the installation
Changing the battery
Only change the battery when a low battery warning is showing i.e. STATIC triangle with correct number of bars showing.
- Remove the transmitter from the tank.
- The battery can be accessed by removing 4 screws from the base of the unit.
- Remove battery noting the orientation (“+” mark facing outwards). Replace new battery (3V- CR2450)
- Reassemble, ensuring the O ring is undamaged and secured in position.
- Re-position the transmitter on the tank.
There is no need to rematch. Recycle the old battery do not place in household waste
