Tank Gauge Water Level Monitoring Device User Manual

Produkt overview

The Rain Harvesting Tank Gauge is an essential tool designed to provide clear and simple monitoring of water levels in your tank. Featuring an easy-to-read dial with "Empty" and "Full" indicators, it allows for quick determination of your current water supply. This device is suitable for all vented above-ground and below-ground tanks up to 8 feet (2.5 meters) in height, making it versatile for various rainwater harvesting systems.

Nøglefunktioner:

• Letlæselig urskive: Features "Empty" and "Full" indicators for immediate water level assessment.
• Enkel installation: Requires only a single hole in the tank for setup.
• Adjustable Calibration: Easily calibrate the gauge to match your specific tank height.
• Alsidig kompatibilitet: Suitable for vented above-ground and below-ground tanks up to 8 feet (2.5 meters) in height.
• No Power Required: Operates mechanically without the need for batteries or electricity.

Opsætning og installation

The Tank Gauge is designed for straightforward installation, requiring minimal effort. Follow these steps for proper setup:

1. Klargør tanken: Identify a suitable location on the top of your tank. A single hole is required for installation. Ensure the area is clean and free from debris. The gauge is suitable for tanks up to 8 feet (2.5 meters) in height.
2. Bor hullet: Carefully drill a hole in the tank lid or top surface large enough for the float mechanism to pass through. Refer to the included installation guide for the precise diameter.

3. Attach the Float Weight: The float weight is attached to a string that connects to the gauge mechanism. Ensure the string is securely fastened to the float weight.

4. Insert the Float: Carefully lower the float weight through the drilled hole into the tank. Ensure the string unwinds freely as the float descends to the bottom of the tank.
5. Placer måleren: Place the main gauge unit over the hole, ensuring the float line passes through the center. The included gasket should be positioned between the gauge base and the tank surface to create a seal. Secure the gauge unit to the tank using appropriate fasteners (not included, typically screws or bolts, depending on tank material).
6. Calibrate the Gauge: Calibration is crucial for accurate readings.
   • Remove the clear plastic face cover. This may require careful prying, as it is designed to fit snugly.
   • With the float at the bottom of the tank (empty), adjust the red "EMPTY" hand on the dial to align with the current position of the black indicator needle.
   • If the tank is full, or can be filled, adjust the green "FULL" hand to align with the black indicator needle when the tank is at its maximum level.
   • The hands can be moved independently to set the "Empty" and "Full" points according to your tank's specific depth and your desired reference points.
   • Once calibrated, carefully reattach the clear plastic face cover, ensuring it snaps securely into place.

Betjeningsvejledning

The Tank Gauge operates mechanically and requires no power. To read the water level:

• Simply observe the black indicator needle on the dial.
• The needle will point to the current water level relative to the "Empty" (red) and "Full" (green) indicators you set during calibration.
• A quick glance is all that is needed to determine your tank's water status.

Opretholdelse

To ensure the longevity and accuracy of your Tank Gauge, consider the following maintenance tips:

• Regelmæssig rengøring: Periodically wipe the exterior of the gauge with a soft, damp klud til at fjerne støv og snavs.
• Tjek for kondens: In some environments, condensation may form inside the dial face. If this occurs, carefully remove the face cover (as done during calibration) and allow it to air dry before reattaching.
• Inspect Float Line: Occasionally check the float line for any signs of wear or entanglement. Ensure it moves freely within the tank.
• UV eksponering: Prolonged direct sunlight exposure may cause the plastic lens to yellow or cloud over time. While this is a natural process for plastics, positioning the tank in a shaded area or using a protective cover can help mitigate this.

Fejlfinding

If you encounter issues with your Tank Gauge, try the following:

• Unøjagtig aflæsning:
  • Verify that the float line is not tangled or obstructed inside the tank.
  • Re-calibrate the gauge by adjusting the "Empty" and "Full" hands as described in the Setup section.
• Nålen bevæger sig ikke:
  • Check if the float weight is stuck at the bottom or top of the tank.
  • Ensure the float line is properly connected to both the float and the gauge mechanism.
• Kondens inde i drejeknappen:
  • Remove the clear face cover and allow it to dry completely before reattaching. Ensure the gasket is properly seated upon reassembly.
