Reading Tank Fill Levels

 

At times it may be necessary to take a manual measurement reading 

rather  than  waiting  for  the  periodic  measurements.  To  take  a  manual 
measurement, you first need to loosen the strap so there is enough slack to 
remove the strap from the slots in the Satellite box, remove the 2 inch plug 
from the bottom plate, and plug in the Bluetooth adapter.  Open the Xact 
application  on  your  handheld  device,  and  select  the 

Verify  Tank Settings

 

icon. 

 

The  Xact  System  will  measure the  tank  fill  level  and  display  it  here.  

Select 

Finish

  when  complete.  Once  complete,  exit  the  Xact  application, 

remove the Bluetooth adapter, and replace the 2 inch plug.  Re-route the 
strap through the Satellite box.  Before you leave, ensure that the plug is 
secure, the strap is over the sensor, the sensor is correctly aligned on the 
bottom of the tank, and the strap is cinched tight enough that it pulls the 
sensor up into the bottom of the tank. 

 

 

Changing The Battery

 

To  change  the  battery,  loosen the  strap  so  there  is  enough  slack  to 

remove it from the slots in the Satellite box.  Flip the Satellite box upside 
down  to  expose  the  four  screws  in  the  bottom  plate  and  remove  them.  
Remove  the  lid  to  expose  the  battery.    Remove  the  2  inch  plug  in  the 
bottom plate, unplug the battery, loosen the velcro strap, and remove the 
battery.  Place the  new battery in the  correct location, tighten the  velcro 
strap around it, route the battery connector to the opening from the plug, 
replace  the  bottom  plate  and  secure  it  onto  the  housing  with  the  four 
screws.    Do  not  over  tighten  these  screws.    Plug  in  the  new  battery  and 
your  Bluetooth  adapter.    From  the  application  menu,  select
