Install Sensor on Tank
6. The sensor mounts to the bottom center of the tank using the collar set.
7. When choosing the location on the bottom of the water tank, the sensor should be at least 2 inches away
from any side wall.
8. The collar set has pre-applied 2-sided adhesive. The tank must be properly prepared, or the collar will
not adhere.
9. The tank must be thoroughly cleaned with soap and water in the area of the sensor install.
10. Allow the water to dry, then clean the area with an alcohol pad or similar, to remove all grease.
11. Lay the collar set in the center of the tank bottom, and mark as needed to guide the final prep and
installation of the collar onto the tank.
12. In the area marked, where the adhesive will contact the tank, thoroughly apply the primer supplied with
the collar.
13. Separate the collar pieces, peel the backing paper from the base piece, and stick to the tank per your
markings. Thoroughly press the ring all the way around. Pressure is required to force the tape to adhere
to the tank.
14. Apply a generous amount of the supplied sonic grease directly to the rubber pad before attaching sensor
to the tank.
15. Install sensor inside the collar, rubber pad against tank.
16. Now snap the retaining ring onto the collar set.

Using the Pro Water Sensor in App
17. Clicking on a sensor in the main list takes you to the sensor’s own screen, where you can change
settings specific to that sensor. Click on the settings icon to modify. Common items to check are-
a. Enter the overall height of your tank (for % full calculations).
b. Rename the sensor as needed to recognize it.
c. Set how you wish the level to be displayed (% or actual height).
18. It is important to note the indicators on the sensor screen.
a. Signal = Bluetooth wireless signal strength from sensor to the device. Please note that this
symbol may change to a Cloud symbol when the phone is out of Bluetooth range. Please refer
to App Instructions on the Mopeka website for more detail.
b. The Quality indicator shown on a sensor’s home screen (3 star scale) is used to understand if
the sensor’s ultrasonic measurement system is working correctly. Typically, if quality is low, (1
star or less) the sensor is mounted poorly: poorly positioned on the center bottom of tank,
has debris on the tank in front of the rubber pad interfering with performance, or is lacking
adequate sonic grease. Therefore, it is important to check Quality, especially during the first
installation and setup. Typically, once installed correctly, with Quality at least 2 stars, it will
not need change unless tank is disturbed such that it is no longer standing upright & level.
