Page 3: Main Features And Benefits
The D110 is a versatile product that not only allows remote monitoring of multiple tanks/ cistern fluid levels, it also allows you to set high and low level alarms to a height you wish to be notified at. The D110 is a Wireless tank/cistern fluid level monitor that is capable of remotely monitoring up to 6 tanks from the one Display unit. Each D110 system comes with one Display and a single Tank Unit. To monitor more than one tank/cistern, additional T110 Tank Units can be purchased and paired with your Display Unit. It is recommended that you fully read this installation manual prior to installing your D110 system. If you have any questions, please do contact us prior to use. Main features and benefits: Fully wireless remote tank/cistern monitoring Easy to read Blue backlit LCD display Monitor up to 6 tanks from the one Display Adjustable Air gap allows for mounting in tank/cistern riser Adjustable High and Low level alarms Easy to setup How it works: The Tank Unit is mounted on the top surface of the tank or on the inside top surface of an underground cistern and uses ultrasonic signals to detect the fluid levels inside. This is then wirelessly transmitted back to the Display Unit to give you up to date fluid level information. The system will warn you of any triggered High or Low fluid level alarm via the Display Unit. – 2 –... -

The more obstructions there are, the lower the transmission range you will be able to achieve. For example, locating the Display Unit by a window will give stronger communication signals than if it is behind a concrete or metal wall. If you need to increase your signal strength further, simply purchase Aquatel’s AQC24 Antenna Extension Kit and remotely mount the antennas on external walls as high as possible. Booster Yagi Antennas are also available AQ920, these will increase the working range to a distance of 1 mile. – 5 –...
