POWER STATUS

 

MAINS VERSION: The Power LED will remain illuminated to indicate that 
there is mains power to the unit 

 

BATTERY  VERSION:  The  Battery  LED  will  flash  every  2  seconds  to 
indicate  that  there  is  battery  power  to  the  unit.  If  the  battery  charge  is  too 
low then the sounder will activate intermittently to indicate this. 

 

ALARM CONDITION 

 

When a high or low-level alarm condition occurs the corresponding channel 
LED  on  the  tank  alarm  lid  is  illuminated  and  the  sounder/beacon  will 
activate. The external relay will also be activated.  
 

FLOAT SWITCH FAULT INDICATION

 

If  any  of  the  channel  LEDs  flashes  repeatedly  then  this  indicates  a  fault 
with the float switch. 
 

ALARM MUTE 

 

Pressing the mute button for 1.5 seconds will silence the sounder and stop 
the beacon flashing when an alarm condition is occurring. This will not de-
activate any relays (if fitted). The relays will only be de-activated when float 
switch returns to its normal position.  

If  the  mute  button  is  not  depressed  the  sounder  will  silence  after  20 
minutes leaving the beacon and channel LED on.  

 

The channel LED will remain on until the alarm condition has been rectified 
(float switch returns to its normal position).

 

 

  ALARM TEST

 

 

To test the Tank Alarm, push and hold the test button on the lid. If the Tank 
Alarm  is  functioning  correctly  the  sounder  should  activate,  the  beacon  will 
flash (if fitted) and all activated channel LEDs will illuminate.  
If  any  of  the  channel  LEDs  flashes  repeatedly  then  this  indicates  a  fault 
with the float switch. 

 

Battery version:

 If no sounder is heard and  no  channel LED’s illuminate, 

check batteries and change as necessary.  

 

NB: Always push the Tank Alarm test button before filling the tank.
