Hi.
This information is for you who want them in writing and not just on your phone.
You will get the same and more updated info when downloading the App, Gobius,
from Internet, Google play and App Store.
Please note that you must get the App before installing the sensor. You do all
settings from the App.
If you connect a panel like our Gobius fish with 2 LEDs in red and green,
you do not need your phone to use the sensor.
1
Download the Gobius App from Google Play or App Store.
Note: The first time you start the App, you will get a question
“Gobius Pro would like to use Bluetooth”. Please answer Ok.
Never “Don’t Allow”.
2
In the Gobius Pro box you get:
-1 sensor with 2 m cable
-1 tank surface 3M Cleaner
-1 extra 3M sensor tape
-1 panel (the Gobius fish) with
1 red and 1 green LED light
3
Check the tank wall thickness. If it is thicker than the specification,
Gobius Pro will not work.
-Stainless Steel & Steel, max 3 mm
-Polyethelene, max 12 mm
-Aluminium, max 5 mm
-Fibre Glass, max 8 mm
4
There are some more important things you have to consider
before mounting the sensor on the tank wall.
-Do not put the sensor closer than 35 mm from an edge,
or another sensor and always on a vertical side of the
tank.
-The tank wall temperature must be above + 20 C (+ 68 F).
If it is below the tape will not work satisfying.

2
A heat gun or a hair dryer can be useful when you need to
heat up the tank wall. After installation, the sensor will work
between -10 C and + 60 C.
5
If you are going to install more than one sensor on one the tank, always
start with the lowest. Repeat the Guide again for the next coming sensor.
You can have maximum 9 sensors on one tank and the App can manage
several tanks.
6
Mounting the sensor on the tank wall. Start with cleaning the place for
the sensor. Please use the 3M Cleaner. Check that the tank wall is not
concave, and that the temperature is above +20 C. Peal of the protective
paper on the tape and press firmly (hard) on the sensor some seconds
and wait a few minutes before proceeding with next step.
7
Each sensor has 2 digital outputs, (On & Off signal).
You can connect lamps, relays or buzzers to each
sensor. In the package you get the “Gobius fish”
panel with two LEDs, red and green. See also note 18.
8
Now it is time for connecting the sensor to the power,
+ is red cable and - is black. The sensor is supporting 12-24 volts.
(If you connect the other way, nothing will be damaged).
9
Your smart phone must have Bluetooth activated to get in contact with
the sensor. Please have a look in your phones Configuration. The Gobius App will
automatically connect to the sensor. You do not have to pair the sensor in your
phone’s configuration. No code is necessary for pairing the phone with the sensor.
