Calibration 

Confirm  the  calculated  tank  capacity  displayed  at  the  bottom  is 

reasonable.    This  is  the  exact  tank  water  capacity  according  to  the 
dimensions  you  entered  earlier.    This  may  vary  slightly  from  the  tank 
manufacturers  name  plate.    If  you  feel  this  is  incorrect,  push  the  back 
button on your device to verify your measurements. 

In  order  for  the  Xact  Tank  Monitoring  System  to  more  accurately 

calibrate to the tank, some information is helpful.  Enter the approximate 
fill level of the tank. 

Once  you  have  entered  this  information  tap  on  the 

Begin

 

Calibration

 

button to continue.  If you don’t have this information 

check the box next 

to 

Fill level unknown

 then tap on the 

Begin Calibration

 button. 

Based on the information you provided in the previous steps, the Xact 

System will perform a calibration cycle that sets the Xact Sensor for optimal 
performance for the individual tank. 

 

Progress of the Calibration is indicated by the bar, and should complete 

in about 2-6 minutes.  The application indicates if the calibration cycle was 
successful or not by displaying the appropriate screen. 

If the cycle is unable to calibrate, or if you receive an error message, see 

the troubleshooting section of this manual for further assistance. 

Upon a successful calibration, select 

Finish

. Xact Small Tank Monitoring 

System  will  now  establish  communications  with  the  satellite  system  and 
transfer  the information  to the web site.   This  process can take up  to  45 
minutes, depending on satellite location.  DO NOT UNPLUG THE BATTERY.  
Remove  the  Bluetooth  adapter,  retrieve  the  2

  plug  that  you  set  aside 

earlier, and firmly insert it into the hole in the bottom plate of the Satellite 
Box.  Ensure this is completely seated and flip the box right side up. 
While the system is completing the process of sending setup information, 
you should immediately proceed to finish the installation of the hardware.
