Installation of the Liquid-Check
Installation
1.
Find a suitable assembly place
Since the device is designed for indoor use, it is important to select a position from which
you can establish a hose connection to the measuring object (tank). As a rule, there is
already a pipe or hose connection from the house to a cistern or an earth tank, through
which one can establish a corresponding connection. Measuring hose lengths up to 50m
should not be a problem. A power outlet for the plug-in power supply should be in the
immediate vicinity. You should also be able to connect to the W-Lan router from the
installation site (See page 7). In advance, you can also check the Wi-Fi connection to your
router with your mobile phone.
2.
After a good position has been found, mount the Liquid-Check module with the enclosed
fastening material.
When drilling the dowel holes, pay attention to any cables or pipes that may be laid
in the wall. Use a wire tester or have the module mounted by a specialist.
3.
Route the hose connection from the measuring module to the corresponding tank. Plug the
hose on the measuring module onto the hose connector (4mm), which is outstanding at the
bottom, and fix the hose with the enclosed cable tie.
To make it easy to attach the hose
,
it is recommended to
heat it with a hair dryer.
Attention: Do not bend the hose.
Avoid abrasion points, possibly protect with protective tube.
Always use a protective tube for wall bushings.
In order to measure the correct filling height, the end of the hose must be guided to the
bottom of the tank in question and fixed there. This can be achieved, for example, with a
rod or with a weight at the end of the hose. Tanks that have an old measuring clock with
hand pump already have a submersible pipe up to the tank bottom, which can be used
accordingly. If the hose or the immersive tube does not end up to the bottom, but with a
little distance above the bottom of the container, this can be taken into account in the
settings of the liquid check.

Note
Otherwise, no special requirements are placed on the installation. Height differences are
not noticeable in the measurement result. The hose should not be left unnecessarily long,
this will prolong the pumping cycle of the performed during a measurement.
