(with Antenna
Extension)
Ultrasonic level gauge for water tanks, cisterns or applications with faster level fluctuations (e.g. barrels) every 30 minutes

Proteus Ecometer S / S Plus V.07 10/2018
Before installing the device on the tank
1. Can the gauge be installed on the tank or in the cistern?
2.Please watch the videos on pairing/synchronizing the monitor and sensor and configuring the monitor on the following turorial:

3. Keep the following dimensions of your tank ready: max. filling level, max. volume, distance max. filling level - mounting position sensor
Notes on the installation
- Avoid tank nozzles with more than 0.78” height
- Please observe a safety distance of at least 5.90” between sensor and tank wall. (e.g. a basketball must be able to fall down undisturbed and must not
be distracted by fixtures, etc.)
- The maximum measuring range of the sensor is 49.2 Ft from the sensor to the ground (0% mark).
- The maximum volume that can be displayed is 5.28Gallons
Additional information about the EcoMeter S Plus (antenna extension)
In radio dead areas, e.g. shafts or inside deep cisterns in the garden, it is recommended to place the transmitter unit of the
sensor (here on the left in the picture) outside the shaft/cistern with the help of the antenna extension in order to guarantee
the best possible radio connection.
We recommend the EcoMeter S Plus if the gauge has to be mounted deeper than 15cm below the surface! The gauge can also
be attached to overflow pipes, filters or crossbars as long as the device is always perpendicular and looks directly at the liquid
surface and does not come into direct contact with liquids. Please always observe the required safety distance of 5.90” to the
wall (basketball analogy).

Applications of the EcoMeter S Plus
-
Deep and radio dead cellar
: Transmitter unit is led out through window
-
Deep cisterns
: device is mounted inside the tank and the transmitter unit is placed outside through the tank cover or a side slot so that the signal can be
reliably received by the monitor. This also makes battery replacement much easier, as the tank cover no longer has to be lifted.

START-UP
Step 1 - Basic configuration of the EcoMonitor
The EcoMonitor (radio display) is supplied with power first when the system is put into operation for the first time. The EcoMonitor then starts automatically in
setup mode so that the hours flash (Setup 1). Enter the desired values with the

keys and always confirm your selection with the ENTER key (in the event of
an incorrect entry, simply press the ENTER key repeatedly until you return to the
menu item you want to change).
Continue in the same way with the next menu items:
Setup 1
: Enter the time / hours
Setup 2:
Enter the time / minutes
Setup 3
: Enter tank type A/B/C (see figure 2)
Setup 4
: Enter max. volume in litres
Setup 5:
Enter the fill level in cm
Setup 6
: Enter the width of the tank in cm (only for tank type B / C)
Setup 7
: Input of the offset (OFt) in cm: Distance between max. level and
mounting position of the sensor (tabs right and left are the reference point of
the sensor). This distance should be 5.90”. The maximum offset corresponds to
the difference of 9.84Ft and max. filling height.
Setup 8:
Enter the floor dead space volume (OLH) in cm (corresponds to the 0%
mark which can be corrected upwards to take a sump volume or similar into
account).
Setup 9:
Alarm On / Off (switches the alarm on / off, levels above 90% and
below 10% are recognized as alarm. The display changes and the red LED starts
flashing and an alarm sounds regularly).
Setup 10:
CLR, pressing and holding the ENTER key erases the stored historical
data of the EcoMonitor.
