Setup the pressure chamber
Below is an illustration on how to connect the pressure
chamber using the provided clamp, bushing, and tube.
After the PTLevel is mounted, run the black tube through
any necessary holes before proceeding to the next step.
Depending on the device you are using, find where you
can see the list of available WiFi signals. If you need
more help with this, see our YouTube videos.
Lower the pressure chamber
Once the black tubing is fully connected and sealed
tight, lower the pressure chamber into the liquid volume
and allow it to lower to the bottom slowly.
See the Overview on the other side.
Note: Do not drop the chamber in an empty tank or it
could break.
Note: You can cut the black tube shorter if you need, just
pull it out of the liquid before you disconnect any of the
tubing.
Check the wireless connection
Press the connect button on the side of the PTLevel
transmitter. If the status LED blinks three times slowly,
you are connected! See the troubleshooting on the other
side if the LED does not blink three times slowly.

Final setup!
If everything setup properly, you should see a level
reading online. Press the connect button on the
transmitter for a more recent reading.
After you have selected the “Add my device” button, you
should see a “Waiting for device to connect” screen. If
the PTLevel receiver is all setup properly, the waiting
screen should disappear within a minute. If it does not,
click on the “Remove this” and try adding it again. If it
still does not work, try connecting the WiFi again.
Click on the “Please Setup” button near the level
reading. Enter in the full depth of the tank and configure
anything else.
Congratulations!
You should be all setup. See the calibration section on
the other side to do your first calibration.
