INSTALLATION & SETUP

Prepare. Calibrate. Verify.

Use the full manual for installation. The steps below explain the workflow; dimensions and mounting allowances depend on the model and accessories.

  1. 01

    Plan the mounting position

    Measure the tank and choose a position close to its geometric centre, with room for the probe and mounting hardware.

  2. 02

    Prepare the probe

    Use the specified working length and model-specific clearance. Keep metal shavings out of the measuring tube and fit the supplied filter and accessories.

  3. 03

    Set the reference points

    Use the Portable Configurator to set empty and full reference points with the intended fuel. Verify the settings before connecting to the monitoring equipment.

  4. 04

    Mount and check the readings

    Fit the gasket, seal and secure the sensor as instructed. Check the signal and tank calibration in the connected system.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Before you get started.

Can this sensor measure water?

No. These capacitive fuel sensors are intended for non-conductive liquids. Water and other conductive liquids are not suitable.

Do fuel level readings equal litres?

Level and volume are different measurements. The monitoring system needs the correct data format and tank calibration to convert readings into volume for your tank.

Can I shorten the probe?

Yes. Follow the wired user guide for the cutting allowance and mounting arrangement, keep the probe free of debris and complete empty/full calibration after preparation.

Will it work with my tracker?

Your device needs a rs485 interface and support for the sensor output or protocol. Send us the tracker model to confirm compatibility before ordering.
