Where drilling is required to t the transmitter, choose a at level
point that is at the same level and no lower than any opening at
the top of the tank (lling point etc.) (See Picture 3)
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 4)

Ensure before you start your install that the tank the Watchman Sonic
Advanced is to be tted:
On a at level base.
Within a 200 metre range from receiver position.
A maximum actual tank height of 3 metres.
50 metre eective range (200 metre clear line of sight).

For tanks with window corrugations or internal braces ensure
that the Watchman Sonic Advanced is not positioned above or
within 15cm of the area of the WINDOW or the edge of the tank.
If the Watchman Sonic Advanced is positioned over or close to the
WINDOWED area it transmits incorrect readings to the receiver.
When installed incorrectly on some windowed
tanks the unit can experience false alarms as the oil level drops. It is
important to ensure that the unit is positioned so that the ultrasonic
beam has a 30cm diameter clear area to the bottom of the tank.
Positioning the unit too close to the tank wall or near a tank window
may cause false alarms.

• Only drill the tank where permissible
(Please consult the tank manufacturer
before drilling the tank)
• Ensure that the unit is tted to the inner tank
if it is a bunded tank
