Remove the four fixing screws (#2 Philips) that secure the sensor to the tank
Lift the sensor up from the tank
Press the READ button on the underside of the sensor unit, and check the status LED
The status LED and buzzer should follow this sequence:
blinking GREEN (connecting to cellular network)
blinking BLUE + single beep (connecting to the server)
solid BLUE + single beep (successful connection to the server)
blinking ORANGE + short beep x 10 (delay before the sensor reads) -> place the sensor back down on the tank to take a tank level reading
If the sensor blinks RED after trying to connect - this indicates that the network connection was not successful
If NO LED light is seen: open the sensor unit (see below) and check the batteries
Remove the four M4 machine screws (#1 Philips) that secure the enclosure lid to the base
If a battery clip is fitted - remove this by releasing the sides of the clip with a flat screwdriver
Carefully seperate the lid from the base
Take care when lifting the lid - as the internal antenna is attached to the underside of the enclosure lid. Do not pull or twist the antenna cable.
Turn the unit off using the slide switch
Remove one of the batteries for 1 minute - to perform a hard reset on the sensor unit
If possible, check the battery cell voltage with a multimeter. It should be above 1.2V
Return the battery (if good) and turn the unit ON. Press the READ button under the unit
