4. Permanently lock the device, repositioning the front screw (50%side).
Fig.5 Not make holes in any part of the tank. Note: the device bases its level measurement on the magnetic effect that is present between the existent probe and its respective coupling with the rod inside the tank. It is recommended to replace the level indicator with a new one, since the measurement could be influenced by the quality and/or wear of the indicator exists. Shitek Technology Srl is not responsible of the quality and/ or measurement error if the technical conditions are not in accordance with the requirements. ZERO RADIO RECEIVER: INSTALLATION PROCEDURE 1.Plug the receive into the electrical outlet. 2.Until the receiver does not receive data from a transmitter, it will periodically turn on all segments of the display by drawing a circle. 3.When the receiver receives the first valid data (level and battery),it displays the level with two digits. If the level is lower than 20% the display flashes to indicate the minimum level alarm. 4. The "RX" red LED flashes whenever a valid data is received from the receiver. When the transmitter is in pairing mode (10 min maximum), the LED must flash every 9 seconds. If the receiver displays the level it is possible to start the configuration of the tank type. If the receiver remains in the initial state by turning on periodically all the display segments by drawing a circle perform the following operations: 1. Reactivate the transmitter with the magnet and wait some minutes. 2. Bring the receiver close to the tank. If the receiver shows "ER" it means that the data was received, but the measure made by the transmitter is not valid. In this case check the installation of the transmitter and the status of the glycerin level indicator.

5. Press the "SET" button for 5 seconds and release it when the LED "RX" is on to check the type of tank set. If is displayed the words "LV" then it is set as vertical tank, if you see the word "LH" it is set to as horizontal tank. 6. If you want to change the type of tank, press the "SET" button for 5 seconds and release it when the LED "RX" is on, at this point the display will flash to indicate that is possible to change the tank type. 7. By clicking the "SET" button, the tank type switches between "LV" vertical and "LH" horizontal. Once it is selected the correct tank type wait 30 seconds, automatically the display will return to the level indication and will save the new configuration. The level indication will be updated when the receiver will receive a new valid data from the transmitter.

If the user don’t press the button for 30 seconds automatically the receiver return in the “LEVEL” screen and save the new parameter.
PAIRING PROCEDURE If a receiver is not paired with a specific transmitter it displays the last valid data (level and battery) received from any transmitter. If a receiver is paired with a specific transmitter displays only the data received from the paired transmitter. If a receiver is paired and have the repeater function activated, it retransmits only the data received from the paired transmitter. 1. Activate the transmitter with the magnet (see picture Fig.2). After activation the transmitter will begin to transmit the data level every 9 seconds for 10 minutes. 2. Enter in the “PAIRING ACTIVE” screen 3. Wait that the receiver displays the blinking string ‘PP’ for 10seconds. 4. Check if the measured level is correct. 5. Return to the “PAIRING” screen and check if are displayed the ‘PP’ string. REPEATER INSTALLATION To double the transmission distance it is possible to install two receiver, and by configuring one of these as repeater. In this way the transmitter send the data to the receiver with the repeater function activated, that retransmits the data to the final receiver. Both the receiver will display the data (level and battery) received.

RECEIVER
If the receiver with the repeater activated is not paired with the transmitter it will display and repeat every valid data received from all the transmitter installed near it. If the receiver with the repeater activated is paired with one transmitter it will display and repeat only the data received from the paired transmitter. Note: it is possible to install two or more repeaters at a mutual distance smaller than 300 meters only if each repeater is paired with a different transmitter. Note: don’t install two or more receiver with the repeater activated at a mutual distance smaller than 300 meters if they aren’t paired with a different transmitter. To reach the maximum transmission distance from the transmitter to the final receiver, the receiver with the repeater activated must be installed in the middle between the transmitter and the final receiver as shown in the previous figure.
