Troubleshooting
For correct operation, the Digital FluidTrac
the sensor and media being monitored.
1. If using the ¾" adapter, verify the yellow acoustic absorber disc
(see photo to the right) is properly installed inside the adapter.
A level sensor that is mounted or sitting other than level will create a
reduction in sensor performance. As shown in the illustration to the right,
the amount of returned sound energy is dependent on mounting
and/or sitting angle.
2. Verify the Digital Fluid-Trac
The drum must be stored in an upright position. Ensure that barrel lid
is not extremely warped, creating an unlevel condition.
3. Verify there are no obstructions between the sensor head and the
media being measured. If something is between the sensor and the
media being tested, the sound wave will be reflected off the object
and not the media resulting in incorrect level readings.
4. Verify the unit is set to measure 55 gallon drums.
• Place the Digital Fluid-Trac
• Press the Refresh/Select button.
• The display should read 55 gallons (± 4 gallons, depending on which
adaptor(s) being used).
