CAP10G
This document is applied for the following products
1. Introduction
2. Notes
3. Safety

Be careful while drilling, cutting, grinding, etc. The fuel tank or other flammable fluid.
Daviteq is not responsible for compensation in case of explosion to bodily injury or property damage.
Read specifications thoroughly and make sure that its output are suitable to reading devices.
Power supply must be in the permitted range.
Do not take out the label and take off the lid as this will lead to the instability of the sensor and manufacturer
could deny warranty. (except cutting of sensor length within the allowed range).
Make sure all the necessary tools are ready before the installation.
CAP10G be equipped with screws. We advise customers should use stainless steel rivets to fasten
the plastic flange onto tank for all type of tanks and only using screws for the thick and hard ones.
Sensor length
Standard 700mm, 1000mm, optional 1200 or 1500mm. Cuttable down to

Step
Discription
Note
1
Remove fuel: Remove all fuel from the tank.
Some tank have been welded with oil filter and
have float level sensor installed, so it is
necessary to take out the float level sensor
before removing the fuel.
2
Clean the tank
Must clean the tank thoroughly.
3
Central hole locating: The hole will be in the
center of tank's up-per side or closest to
center.
This is an important step as it will directly
affect the stability of the fuel level data.
4
Drilling the central hole:
After determining the center of the oil
tank, we clean the surface and use a 38
mm drill to make a hole on the oil tank.
Remove any burrs from the drilled hole
by a file.
Before drilling, it is vital to check whether the
hole is affected by the internal metal frame or
obstacles at the bottom the tank.
5
Flange installation:
Place the 4 mm rubber gasket at the
center of the tank's upper side.
Place the plastic flange onto the rubber
gasket (4 mm).
Mark 4 points at the bolt hole.
Use screws /rivets to fasten the 4 mm
rubber gasket and the plastic flange
onto tank.
Only using screws for the thick and hard
tanks.
Unplug the screw/ rivet symmetrically.
8. Sensor Installation Guidance

6
Sensor cutting:
After flange installation, we determine the length of the sensor to be installed as picture below:
C = L+20+20-(H+14) => C = L+26-H (mm)
C: Length to be cut.
L: Original length of the sensor.
H: Height of the tank.
*Example:
Sensor length is L = 2000, H = 1700 mm => C = 326 mm => Cut the sensor pipe length of 326
mm.
7
Calibration:
After cutting, make sure the sensor tube is clean.
Re-plug the Filter footer and tighten the screw.
Turn on the sensor in at least 30 seconds in order for the sensor to automatically
recognize its new length.

8
Final:
Place the O-ring on the top of the threads, ensure that it can touch the aluminum housing
of the sensor (as below picture):
Install sensor into the threads of flange and turn it in clockwise direction.
Using the O-ring enables to rotate the sensor within 180 degrees from final tighten
position and assuring that the oil will be not spilled (as below picture):
Use the 2mm Allen key to lock the hex bolt to protect the sensor rotate backwards.
Connect the sensor with the cable.
Use sensor head seal to cover the sensor and then use plastic and then use plastic twister
seal to lock the head seal and connector seal to protect the sensor.
Please follow the below steps:
Note
Step 1: Remove the cover
Step 2: Remove the terminal connector
Step 3: Use the 2 mm Allen key to unlock the hex bolt
Step 4: Turn the sensor in counter-clockwise direction
Do not hold the male connector to rotate sensor directly, that
can make the male connector broken.
Do not use locking pliers, pipe wrenches, etc. to twist the sensor
as this cause damages the structure of the sensor such as cast
aluminium housing, label, signal cables (connector), circuit
board, ect. and it will not be covered under warranty.
9. Disassembly Guidance
10. Wiring

Each cable includes wires which are marked labels according to types of connection. (user should not cut these labels
before installation to avoid confusing)
White: PWR+(8...50VDC)
Blue: PWR-(OVDC)
Black: Resistive Output (240.33 Ohm)
Recommend to use 24VDC power.
The signal cable from sensor should be protected by corrugated hose or the Φ16 plastic tube, keep the cable avoid
high temperature areas.
10.1 Follow Labels in Wires:
10.2 Follow Wire Colors:

1. Periodically clean the oil tank 2, 3 or 6 months depending on usage and contamination.
2. Periodically clean the sensor and filter footer 2, 3 or 6 months by:
Cover a sensor's vent before using the air sprayer for another.
Remove and clean the filter footer.
No.
Phenomena
Reasons
Solutions
1
No output
Sensor's powering wire is
damaged
Check out on the sensor's
powering wire
Overpowering has burnt the signal
cable and circuit board
Send to manufacturer
Being tampered
Check the seal again before
sending back to manufacturer
2
Signal interference
Sensor was installed too far from
central hole of tank
Install sensor as closest as
possible to the central hole of tank
(the common point of 02
diagonals)
11. Periodic Cleaning Guidance
12. Troubleshooting

3
Unstable output with many
significant strikes
Accesories burnt or there is liquid
inside of board
Send to manufacturer
Connection to power supply is
loose
Check the connection wire
There are impurities in oil tank,
such as: boil, mud, sand, water,...
Clean tank as well as sensor
