6. Pokyny na nastavenie

6.1. Inštalácia batérie

1. Prijímacia jednotka: Open the battery compartment on the back of the receiver. Insert 2 x AA 1.5V alkaline batteries, ensuring correct polarity. Close the compartment.
2. Transmitter Unit (Sensor): Open the battery compartment on the sensor unit. Insert 6 x AAA 1.5V lithium batteries, observing correct polarity. Close the compartment securely to maintain water resistance.

6.2. Transmitter (Sensor) Installation

The transmitter should be installed on top of the tank, directly above the liquid surface, ensuring a clear path for the ultrasonic signal. Refer to the 'Installation Sketch and Examples' image for visual guidance.

• miesto: Choose a location on the tank where the sensor can be mounted vertically and stably. Avoid areas with obstructions directly below the sensor that could interfere with the ultrasonic beam.
• vyrovnávanie: Use the integrated balance bubble on the top of the sensor to ensure it is perfectly level. An unlevel installation can lead to inaccurate readings.
• Klírens: Ensure there is at least 0.5 meters (H1) of clear space between the sensor and the maximum liquid level. The sensor should also be at least 20 cm (R) away from the tank walls or any internal structures to prevent false readings.
• Montáž: Secure the transmitter using the provided screws or other suitable mounting hardware. Ensure it is firmly attached and will not shift.
• Typ kvapaliny: This sensor is suitable for any non-corrosive liquid. Do not use with corrosive substances.

6.3. Receiver Unit Placement

Place the receiver unit indoors within the 100-meter transmission range of the transmitter. Consider the following:

• Sila signálu: Position the receiver where it can receive a strong RF signal from the transmitter. Walls and other obstacles can reduce the effective range.
• Viditeľnosť: Place the receiver in a location where the display is easily visible for monitoring.
• Montáž: The receiver can stand on a flat surface (e.g., desk) using its integrated stand or be mounted on a wall using the slots on its back.

7. Návod na obsluhu

7.1. Počiatočné zapnutie a synchronizácia

Once batteries are installed in both units, they should automatically attempt to synchronize. The receiver's display will show the current liquid level and temperatures after successful synchronization.

7.2. Zobrazené hodnoty

LCD displej zobrazuje nasledujúce informácie:

• Hladina kvapaliny: Shown as a numerical value (in meters) and a 10-segment bar graph.
• Teplota nádrže: The temperature of the liquid in the tank.
• Vnútorná teplota: The ambient temperature at the receiver's location.
• čas: Zobrazenie aktuálneho času.
• Indikátor RF signálu: Shows the strength of the wireless connection.
• Indikátory batérie: Alerts for low battery in either the receiver or transmitter.

7.3. Nastavenie budíkov

The device allows setting high and low liquid level alarms, as well as an empty tank alert. Refer to the receiver's buttons (SET, MAX/MIN, TANK, ALARM) for navigation and adjustment. Detailed programming steps are typically found in the full product manual, but generally involve:

1. Stlačením tlačidla ALARM tlačidlo na prepínanie medzi nastaveniami budíka.
2. Používanie SET or other navigation buttons to adjust the desired high/low level thresholds.
3. Confirming settings to activate the alarms.

7.4. Min/Max Records

The device automatically records the minimum and maximum liquid levels. Press the MAX/MIN tlačidlo na view these recorded values.

8. Údržba

• Výmena batérie: Replace batteries in both the receiver and transmitter units when the low battery indicator appears on the display. Ensure to use the specified battery types (AA for receiver, AAA for transmitter).
• Čistenie: Wipe the receiver display and sensor unit with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the units in water.
• Kontrola snímača: Periodically inspect the transmitter unit for any debris or buildup that might obstruct the ultrasonic sensor. Clean gently if necessary.
• Podmienky prostredia: Ensure the transmitter is not exposed to extreme conditions beyond its operating temperature range (-40 ~ 60 °C) or corrosive environments.

9. Riešenie problémov

• Bez displeja/napájania: Skontrolujte, či sú batérie správne vložené a či sú dostatočne nabité. V prípade potreby ich vymeňte.
• No Signal/Inaccurate Readings:
  • Ensure the transmitter and receiver are within the 100m range and there are no major obstructions (e.g., thick walls) between them.
  • Verify the transmitter is installed level using the balance bubble.
  • Check for obstructions directly below the sensor inside the tank.
  • Ensure the sensor is not too close to the tank walls (minimum 20cm clearance).
  • Confirm the liquid is non-corrosive.
  • If the tank has a high dome (e.g., 60cm), ensure the sensor is positioned correctly to avoid measuring the tank entrance rim instead of the liquid surface.
• Difficulty with Programming/Settings: The programming interface can be complex. Refer to the detailed instructions in the complete product manual for specific button sequences and menu options.
• Alarmy sa nespúšťajú: Check that the high/low alarm thresholds are set correctly and are within the expected operating range.
