4Install Connect Tank
You can install the Connect Tank device directly on tanks with a 1-inch NPT threaded opening. Use the
optional adapter for tanks that have a 2-inch NPT threaded opening. Make sure:
nThe device is level (perpendicular to the liquid surface).
nThere are no obstructions between the sensor and the liquid.
nThe device is as close as possible to the center of the tank’s diameter.
Mounting the device vertically ensures proper orientation. If the device is not mounted vertically, it may send
incorrect readings.
