Install a thread-thread bushing in the bung to allow mounting of the Float Switch 
Assembly (if required). 

 
Step 3.

 

Carefully insert the Float Switch Assembly into the tank and tighten it. 
 

Step 4. 

Connect the Float Switch Assembly wiring harness to the Digital Two Channel Monitor 
using the supplied grease packet.  Place the Monitor on top of the tank.  A large magnet 
in the base will hold the Monitor securely on a steel tank.  Repeat Steps 1–4 for 
additional Monitors. 
 

Warning: For maximum Monitor reception, mount the Monitor within 500 feet of the 
Receiver, avoid mounting the Monitor or Receiver inside a fully closed metal building or 
in a metal enclosure, and avoid close proximity to large electrical equipment.

 

3.4 Activation 

Following Monitor mounting, the unit(s) can be activated. 
 

Step 5.

 

To activate the Monitor, pull the external slide magnet completely out of the top of the 
Monitor housing.  This will activate the Monitor to report switch transitions and to make 
supervisory radio transmissions on a pre-programmed interval.

 

 
Note:  Do not discard the magnet completely—keep it accessible for future use if needed.  
Do not store the magnet in the monitor upper housing slot since this will de-activate the 
monitor. 
 

• 

When the external slide magnet is removed from the Monitor, the High Level Alarm 
Panel or Controller lights should indicate that it is receiving a Monitor transmission.

 

 

Note: A second installer could verify this by watching the Receiver during Monitor 
activation.

 

 

Step 6. 

To activate additional Monitors, repeat Step 5. 

3.5 Site 

Survey 

Appendix B contains a Site Survey Form, which should be filled out by the installer.
