Page 10: Installation Steps
Installation Steps Step 1: Install and connect the Master Display Unit. Step 2: Install, connect and calibrate the tank sensors. Step 3: Install and connect the I/O units (HT-100, HB-200 or HT-100/P, HB-200/P). Step 4: Set-up Rotary Switches. Step 5: Seacock Interlock Switch or Jumper. -
Page 11: Sensor Installation
Pilot Holes Sensor Installation If the Smartswitch pressure sensor is being fitted see pages 10, 11 and 12. PLEASE NOTE: If a charcoal filter is fitted to the Black tank see Special Pump (page 19) If the Ultra-Sonic sensor is being fitted see page 12. - Page 12 The maximum surge and safe pressure is 28psi. For more information see “Calibration Tips & Tricks” on our web site www.smartswitch.co.nz Mounting Adaptors Available: A range of mounting adaptors are available which include flat sidewall, top mount, 1.5” pipe, 2” pipe, 3” pipe and drain valve.

Page 13: Sensor Programming Instructions
Sensor Programming Instructions Two different methods of tank programming are available if using the pressure sensor: 2 Point Calibration: sets tank low and tank high points which can only be used if the tank is a regular size and shape. 5 Point Calibration: sets tank low, tank quarter, tank half, tank three quarters and tank full points, offering more accuracy if the tank is an irregular size and shape. - Page 14 You will see both LED’S flashing, please wait (approx 20 seconds) for the LED’S to stop flashing, the slave receiver now has the same calibration setting as the master transmitter. For more information see “Calibration Tips & Tricks” on our web site www.smartswitch.co.nz Ultra-Sonic Sensor : If using the Ultra-Sonic sensor turn the Rotary Switch to position 1 Press and hold down the Program Button for 3 seconds, the LED will flash 4 times and turn off.

Page 15: Setting Rotary Switch (Network Address)
Setting Rotary Switch (Network Address) Each Input/Output Unit (HT-100, HB-200 or HT-100/P, HB-200/P) on the network must have the Rotary Switch set to a unique number (from 2 to 9). NO two devices may share the same Rotary Switch number. The Rotary Switch is situated inside the Box of the HT-100/P and HB/200P Input/Output Unit and on the outside of the case on the HT-100 and HB-200 (see diagrams below and page 7 for position). -
Page 16: Seacock Interlock Switch Installation
Seacock Interlock Switch Installation Important: The HT-100/P and the HB-200/P provide for an interlock with a seacock valve to prevent the pump from starting in the event the seacock valve is closed. In the event there is no interlock contact on the seacock, the following procedure MUST be followed to allow the pump to operate in either manual or automatic mode. -
Page 17: Pump Current Sensing
Pump Current Sensing The HT-100/P & HB-200/P are equipped with special current sensing circuitry to detect if after a pump is turned on, it is in fact running. If a pump is turned on, either Manually or Automatically, and the pump fails to start due to short or open circuit, the pump icon for that tank will flash and the alarm will sound indicating a fault. -

Push MUTE To Enter Use the Select Up or Down key to move the Pump Off point to the desired level. Press the Mute key to set this as the Pump Off point and return you to the main menu.
- Page 23 Special Pump: If you are using a pressure sensor under the following conditions you will need to use this feature: 1. Black tank has a charcoal filter fitted** 2. Pressure sensor is located in the discharge pipe or any location where turbulence is likely during the pumping operation **Explanation: When the pump is turned on liquid is removed from the tank quicker than air can replace it, due to the constrictive nature of the air filter.

Page 24: Operating Instructions
Operating Instructions Keyboard: The Select Up and Down allows for scrolling between tanks. The Mute key mutes the alarm. The Pump key turns the pump on and off (see details below). Dim Up and Down adjusts the display contrast. The Grey and Black tanks have three Modes of operation Key Switch = Manual Mode: When any tank programmed as either Grey or Black reaches the programmed high-level point and the alarm is ON, the alarm will activate and show a flashing bell beside the tank icon. - Page 25 Fresh Tanks: The alarm will turn ON if the tank reaches the programmed low-level value and OFF when the tank has been filled by three bars. Pump Output (HT-100/P & HB-200/P only) The Pump Output will automatically turn ON if the tank is equal to or greater than the programmed pump ON value. The Pump Output will turn OFF when the tank is equal to or less than the programmed pump OFF value.
