1CHECK LEVEL, DISTANCE AND HEIGHT
Suitable for use in tanks for the storage of diesel fuel, kerosene,
and gas oil types A2, C1, C2 and D as defined by BS 2869. Check
with the manufacturer and/or supplier before using with any
other fluids.
Ensure before you start your install that the tank the
WatchmanAlarm is to be fitted to is:
1. Level (See Picture 1)
2. Within a 200-metre range of the line of sight of receiver position.
3. A maximum height of 3 meters
2TANK PREPARATION
Please note- it is important to keep all items dry
during installation.
A) PRE-DRILLED TANKS.
There may already be a 32mm pre-drilled opening in the
tank top and possibly a tube fitted. If so, remove the cover
by undoing the two screws holding it in place, and dispose
of the tube in accordance with local government guidelines.
NB – Ensure the hole is a minimum DIAMETER 30mm.
B) UN-DRILLED TANKS.
Where drilling is required to fit the
transmitter, choose a flat level point
that is at the same level and no higher
than any opening at the top of the
tank (filling point etc.). (See Picture 2)
The Transmitter can’t sit at an
angle as this gives an incorrect
level reading on the receiver. Take
care not to choose an area on
which water could gather i.e.
a dent/depression or a position
directly above any restricted area
inside the tank. (See Picture 3)
NB: For Windowed Tanks ensure
that the WatchmanAlarm is not
positioned above the area of the
WINDOW. If the WatchmanAlarm
is positioned over the WINDOWED
area it transmits faulty readings
to the receiver. (See Picture 4)
Drill a hole in the place that you
have selected on the tank’s top
surface using a 32mm hole-saw.
(shown in Picture 5)

OIL ALARM
In the event of the oil level in the tank dropping at a rate that is not
common for a domestic oil tank the receiver will emit a siren type sound
that indicates a theft/leak is occurring.The siren will continue to go off even
after the level has stabilized and can only be reset by turning on and off the
power to the receiver.
This product is to be used only on domestic oil tanks within the parameters
outlined in the specications. Any use of the product on applications that lie
outside a domestic environment is done so at users own risk.

4DEFINE THE TANK HEIGHT
• Accuratelymeasuretheheightofyourtank.Maximumtank
height 3 Metres from the base of your tank to the position of the
WatchmanAlarm (which should be the same as the fill point).
• Thismeasurementisfromthebaseofyourtanktothe
WatchmanAlarm (which should be the same as the fill point).
(Seen in Picture 9)
5SETTING THE SWITCHES ON THE RECEIVER
Using the tank height chart (see section 11), read across to the
relevant multi switch settings. The multi switches are located
in a recess at the back of the receiver above the pins.
Using a screwdriver or tip of a ballpoint pen, flip the relevant
switch (e.g.) upwards (= ON). As an example, if the tank is
100 cm high, set switches 5 & 7 ON (Up). (See Picture 10)
NOTE: Dip switch one if set in the on (up) position will cause the
unit to bleep in the event of a low level reading. To deactivate this
set the dip switch to an off (down) position. Dip 1 position will not
affect the alarm function.
The receiver unit may be tested by setting all the dip switches to
an on (up) position and plugging in to a power outlet. When all 8
dip switches are set it in the on position (up) the audible alarm will
go off and can only be stopped by un-plugging or turning off the
power to the outlet. This feature is only designed to demonstrate
the alarm functionality and the device will not operate correctly if
the dip switches are left in this position.
MATCHING RECEIVER AND TRANSMITTER
You should match the receiver (Part A) with the transmitter (Part C)
so that the system code is unique to your tank. You only need to do
this once. Plug receiver into a suitable and convenient electrical
socket and switch on.
The display screen (Picture 11) on the front of
the receiver will show a flashing top bar as
shown in diagram. This indicates that the
receiver is waiting for the unique code. The
bar will continue to flash for 2 minutes during
which time you can match the transmitter to
the receiver.
Holdthetransmitteragainstthereceiverright
hand side, as shown (Picture 12), so that the
black dot on the transmitter is touching the
black dot on the receiver (important!) for
about 20 seconds to allow unique code to be
transferred. Bars will increase up the display
screen. When all 10 bars are shown they will
flash to indicate that the unique code
is transferred .
iThe receiver will wait for a code for 2 minutes when plugged in.
iIf you should want to change the height, just unplug the
receiver, change the dip switches and plug it back in.
iIf you are installing more than one WatchmanAlarm unit
please wait 9 minutes between each matching.
iIn the event of a power failure or if the receiver is switched off
or moved to a new socket: When power returns again or unit
is switched on, the receiver display screen will show the top
bar ashing. There is no need to repeat the matching instruction.
The top bar will continue to ash for 2 minutes, after which
time the last valid signal is displayed. It may take up to two
hours for the next transmission from the transmitter.
7FITTING THE TRANSMITTER TO THE BASE
Screw the transmitter (Part C) into the base (Part D). Ensure the
transmitter is vertical on top of the tank and level.
Ensure that the WatchmanAlarm unit is screwed correctly into the
base and that the threads have not crossed, to give a secure seal.
(See Picture 13)
8CHECK THE LEVEL OF OIL IN THE TANK
The bar graph represents the level of oil in your tank.
Note: It can take up to 2 hours for the first accurate reading
from the WatchmanAlarm to be displayed.
9TROUBLESHOOTING
CHANGING BATTERY
Though the lithium battery will have a very long service life,
it will eventually become exhausted and will need replacing.
Batteries can be purchased from a good photographic shop or
chemist.Thebatterymodelis:VARTACR2430.

If the receiver detects a low battery
the following warning message is
displayed on the LCD. The level of oil
in the tank plus a constantly flashing
warning triangle.
(Shown in picture 14)
If the receiver detects a transmission
not heard for a long time the following
message is displayed on the LCD.
Constantly flashing warning triangle.
This starts approximately 12 hours
from the last received good signal.
(Shown in picture 15)
If the receiver detects a connec-
tion fault the following message is
displayed on the LCD. Warning triangle
constantly flashing plus indication bar
5 on. (Shown in picture 16)
False Alarm:
This may be caused by the incorrect
tank height being entered into the unit.
Please refer to section 5 and ensure that
you have set the Dip switches to the
correct height of the tank.
Alternatively the tank on which the unit
is being used may be unsuitable. The oil
in the tank may be being used too fast.
The product is designed to monitor oil
tanks that provide an oil feed to standard
domestic oil burners under normal
domestic conditions.
