2. Attach the sensor body to the desired height of the water tank or sump (water
supply start water level) with a magnet so that the cord faces directly upward.
The water level at the time of installation (current water level) must be lower than
the height of the water supply start water level to be set.
Attention
Make sure that the cord is facing straight up.
It will not work properly if it is oblique or upside down.
Also, the optical sensor needs to be kept away from
air bubbles.Bubbles may cause malfunction.
3. Attach a hose to the DC pump, add the DC pump and install it in a water container.
Fasten the hose to the hose clamp attached to the sump or tank.
At that time, make sure that the outlet of the hose does not come under the
water before or after water supply.

The dual optical sensor has
high accuracy and durability,
but it will affect by bubbles
and dirt.
Therefore, a malfunction may
occur. Be sure to use the sensor
cover and clean it regularly.
5. The automatic watering system starts automatically and starts setting the water
level. At the first time, water is supplied to the level at which the high level sensor
operates. At that time, the LED will turn green slowly. (Water supply will exceed
the water level of the water stop line, but this is not a malfunction.)
After that, the automatic water supply will be activated so that the water level is
automatically maintained, so do not move the position of the installed sensor
any more.
The setting is completed when the motor stops.

●Precautions before Using
●Indicator light display
Intelligent ATO displays the operating status using a lamp the inside of the sensor body.
Green light on At normal water level
Green light off High level sensor line is working. Activated during initial setup.
All light off Water level is lower than water supply start water level (water level cannot be detected)
Red light
flashing
Insufficient water in the water supply container
Sensor error
→Water level must be at least 1 cm higher than the set water level
→ (the sensor is less than 1 cm below the water surface)
→ DC pump operation time is too long
Error cancellation
method
Turn on the power again. For the procedure at that time,
refer to “4”of section “How to use”.
Right light on The sensor cannot detect the water level due to bubbles or dirt
Initial setting failed because the sensor was moved after initial setting
● Twin optical sensors are highly accurate and durable, but may malfunction due to
bubbles and dirt. Be sure to use the sensor cover and perform regular cleaning.
● Intelligent ATO knows the water level you set initially.
When changing the sump or aquarium, or disconnecting the power outlet or
connection cable, all settings must be reset.
● To prevent siphoning, add the hose inlet on the water supply side and make sure
that the water level is not higher than the sump or water tank level. (See the figure below)
To prevent malfunction due to bubbles, do not install the hose near the sensor.
If necessary, make a small hole in the non-soaked part of the hose inside the water tank.
