Calibration Instructions

Units will be supplied calibrated for diesel.
Full Point:

  1. Install sensor in the tank and power on.
  2. Fill tank to required full level.
  3. Depress “CAL” button. Hold for 5 seconds to set full point. Release button. Check output for full point.

Calibration Instructions

Empty Point (if required):

  1. Fill tank to required level or, for Min. Empty Level, remove from tank and shake to remove excess liquid.
  2. Disconnect power.
  3. Depress “CAL” button then reconnect power whilst depressing calibration button. Continue to depress for a further 5 seconds to set empty point. Release button. Check output for empty point.
