Instructions
For Mk2 Water Level Meters (Push-Release Tape Connection)
1. Remove the battery (battery is located inside the reel hub of
a 102M Mini Water Level Meter. Remove the batttery after
Step 2).
2. Unscrew the three screws and remove the faceplate.
3. Press down on the white terminals of the push-release
fittings on the circuit board and pull out to remove the
tape/cable leads.
4. If you have an older style light (leads connected to Sonalert
terminals – see photos below), cut the red and black wires
connected to the light, and push the light out through the
front of the faceplate.

5. From the front of the faceplate, use the wrench to unscrew
the nut holding the test button and push the button back
out of the faceplate.
6. Unscrew and remove the two screws holding the circuit
board (and older style light leads) from the Sonalert.
7. Carefully lift the circuit board from the Sonalert so you have
better access to the circuit board.
8. If you have a newer style light, unsolder it from the circuit
board and remove as much of the old solder as possible.
9. If you had an older style light (or the lens needs replacing)
insert the new red lens through the front opening in the
faceplate and secure using the white nut.
10. For a Model 101 or 102 Water Level Meter, insert the
leads of the new light into the two positions labelled “D2”
on the circuit board and solder in place. See photo below.

11. For a Model 102M Mini Water Level Meter, insert the
leads of the new light into the two positions labelled “D4”
on the circuit board and solder in place (“D4” positions are
located next to “D2” positions). See photo above.
12. Place the circuit board assembly back into position on top
of the Sonalert, ensuring the sides marked +ve and -ve are
lined up with the corresponding terminals on the Sonalert
and the new light seated in the lens.
13. Reinstall the two screws to connect the bare wires from the
circuit board to the terminals on the Sonalert.
14. Insert the test button through the opening in the faceplate,
and secure it in place using the nut.
15. For 101 Water Level Meters, connect the tape to the circuit
board assembly by pressing down on the white terminals
on the circuit board and inserting the tape leads. Release
the terminals and the leads should be secured. The lead on
the bottom of the tape (numbers facing up, may be black
mark on lead) is inserted into the terminal with a white
square below it on the circuit board.

16. For 102 and 102M Water Level Meters, connect the cable
to the circuit board assembly by pressing down on the
white terminals on the circuit board and inserting the leads.
Release the terminals and the leads should be secured.
The positive lead is inserted into the terminal with a white
square below it on the circuit board. (The positive lead has
the pin connected to insulated wire, the negative pin is
connected to the braided wire).
17. Install the battery.
18. With the probe in a glass of tap water, turn the Water Level
Meter to the ‘ON’ position. If the connections are correct
the light will activate. If the light does not activate, check all
connections and the polarity of the battery.
19. Reattach the faceplate to the reel using the three screws.
