Installing Level Sensor

(Optional Accessory)
The level sensor is used to help determine pump cycle frequency.
This sensor is not required and only provides an approximation
of water level following a calibration process. This is useful if you
are unsure how often your pump runs. High water alarms are
The level sensor is installed vertically on the PVC discharge pipe of
the sump pump. The sensor wire attaches to the PVC pipe with zip
ties. Place the sealed end of the sensor wire as far down the pipe
as possible. The closer the sealed end of the wire is to the bottom
of the pipe, the more resolution of water level you will see. Care
must be taken to secure the sensor wire to the discharge pipe
to avoid it being sucked into the pump. Don't allow the
sensor wire to come in contact with the power cable of the sump
pump or metal piping as this can skew the reading. Do not modify
level sensor wire length.
Water level data will take some time to appear in the portal.
The calibration process waits until it sees several cylces of minimum
and maximum levels before it can begin presenting data. If your
level graphs are "solid blue" wait until a period of heavy rain and
click the button in the portal that says "RESTART CALIBRATION
PROCESS".
