Water Level Display

The current water level for each tank will be shown in cm. Where no probe is attached the corresponding 
tank level will not be shown. 

Note that if an output has been set to use a probe which is not present, a fault will be registered 

accordingly as that probe will be assumed to be faulty, or unintentionally disconnected. If no outputs are 
set to use a particular probe, then it's absence will not be registered as a fault.

Accessing the Menu Options

The last line of the display always shows up to four menu options, which can be selected by pressing one of 
the four corresponding buttons beneath the display. The menu options displayed will change as you enter 

different areas of the software.

Status Screen

This is the screen that will show during normal operation, and is where the system defaults to after power-
on. While this screen is showing the system operates as normal, water level displays are continuously 

updated and any outputs which have been configured will operate as needed. 

Note that if MENU or STOP are pressed, all operation will halt until the user returns to this main status 
screen. The operator must therefore decide whether halting the system for configuration is appropriate 

and for how long.

Main Menu

3 options are available, 
Setup – allows the operator to configure the operation of the system.

Diags (Diagnostics) – Allows the user to review and clear any logged faults from the system, test the status 
of all inputs and test all outputs.

Run – returns to the main status screen and resumes operation.

Setup Menu (Menu>Setup)

4 options are available

Virtual – sets the conditions that will operate each virtual output.
Outputs – sets the conditions that will operate each physical output.

Alarms – sets high and low level alarm levels for each tank which will trigger the BMS output.
Exits – returns to the Main Menu.

Virtual Output Setup (Menu>Setup>Virtual)

Unless you are controlling 2 tanks and want an output to operate depending on the conditions in both 

tanks this setting can be skipped.

3 options are available :-
I/O 1 – sets the range for probe 1 – currently this function is unused.
