with the manufacturer and/or supplier before using with any
other fluids.
Ensure before you start your install that the tank the
WatchmanAlarm is to be fitted to is:
1.
Level
(See Picture 1)
2.
Within a 200-metre range of the line of sight of receiver position.
3.
A maximum height of 3 meters

TANK PREPARATION
Please note- it is important to keep all items dry
during installation.
A) PRE-DRILLED TANKS.
There may already be a 32mm pre-drilled opening in the
tank top and possibly a tube fitted. If so, remove the cover
by undoing the two screws holding it in place, and dispose
of the tube in accordance with local government guidelines.
NB – Ensure the hole is a minimum DIAMETER 30mm.
B) UN-DRILLED TANKS.
Where drilling is required to fit the
transmitter, choose a flat level point
that is at the same level and no higher
than any opening at the top of the
tank (filling point etc.). (
See Picture 2)
The Transmitter can’t sit at an
angle as this gives an incorrect
level reading on the receiver. Take
care not to choose an area on
which water could gather i.e.
a dent/depression or a position
directly above any restricted area
inside the tank. (
See Picture 3)
NB: For Windowed Tanks ensure
that the WatchmanAlarm is not
positioned above the area of the
WINDOW. If the WatchmanAlarm
is positioned over the WINDOWED
area it transmits faulty readings
to the receiver.
(See Picture 4)
Drill a hole in the place that you
have selected on the tank’s top
surface using a 32mm hole-saw.

shown in Picture 5)

.
• Tighten the WatchmanAlarm base
(Part D)
on to the tank with
2 stainless steel self-tapping, counter sunkscrews supplied
(Part B)
. Do not over tighten!

OIl AlARM
In the event of the oil level in the tank dropping at a rate that is not
common for a domestic oil tank the receiver will emit a siren type sound
that indicates a theft/leak is occurring.The siren will continue to go off even
after the level has stabilized and can only be reset by turning on and off the
power to the receiver.
This product is to be used only on domestic oil tanks within the parameters
outlined in the specifications. Any use of the product on applications that lie
outside a domestic environment is done so at users own risk.
