4. FITTING THE BUND SENSOR (OPTIONAL)
Having followed the steps 1 to 3 in the instructions the
WatchmanSonic Plus receiver should be fitted on the inner tank.
The leak detector should hang 5cm above the bottom of the outer
tank in the interstitial space of the outer tank as shown on the
picture above. To avoid the leak detector resting on the bottom of
the tank, adjust the cable length using a cable tie provided.
Note: It is imperative that the leak sensor is positioned vertically
above the floor on the inner tank and that the cable is fixed to
avoid any slippage or lengthening of the cable. Length of the cable
can be adjusted using the cable tie provided.
5. DEFINE THE SONIC HEIGHT
Accurately measure the height of your tank making note
of this measurement. The permissible maximum tank
height is 3 metres from the base of your tank to the position
of the Watchman Sonic Advanced (which should be no lower
than the fill point). (Seen in Picture 11).
• Height does not include the base/piers which tank sits on.
6. SETTING THE SWITCHES ON THE RECEIVER
Using the tank height chart (see section 10), read across to the
relevant multi switch settings using tank measurement you took
earlier. The multi switches are located in a recess at the back of the
receiver above the pins.Using a screwdriver or tip of a ballpoint pen,
flip the relevant switch (e.g.) upwards (= ON).
NOTE: If switch 1 is ON, it enables Sudden drop alarm. This
functionality is valid only when used with advanced transmitters.
If switch 2 is ON, it enables Waveguide mode, this functionality is
valid only when used with advanced sonic transmitters.
HOW SUDDEN DROP WORKS
The Sonic Advanced transmitter on tank checks the oil level
approximately once every minute. Under normal conditions it
communicates this level to the receiver approximately once every
half hour. In the event that a level outside the predefined threshold
trigger level is reached in a given period (approximately 1.5cm per
hour) the on tank transmitter sends a signal to the receiver and an
alarm will be set off on the receiver unit. In alarm mode the receiver
unit will emit a siren type sound and the 10 bars will appear on the
screen in sequence. The red LED will also flash. This can only be
reset by plugging in and out the receiver unit from the mains. The
maximum permissible usage of oil that the unit will allow in height
terms is 1.5cm per hour. This is the maximum rate that the level can
drop in one hour without the alarm going off.
WARNING:
- Alarm and level functionality will be disabled if the unit detects a no
echo condition (ref: section 11 - Technical Information). The no echo
condition is indicated by a triangle symbol in the centre of the screen
WAVEGUIDE MODE
Waveguide mode (pipe) is used in case of incorrect readings
or false alarms caused by installation problems. Lack of 15cm
clearance from obstructions or flat (level) space on the tank

with a line to the right of it. The no echo condition can be caused by
the unit being incorrectly installed on the tank, alternatively it can
indicate in some instances that the unit has been moved or removed
from the tank. An audible alarm can alert the user that a no echo
condition or a transmission not heard condition has occurred (Refer
to trouble shooting for explanation of these conditions). Please note
this is not a tamper alarm and should not be used as such.
- The alarm functionality at ullage levels of less than 25cm is
disabled. Therefore if a leak or theft occurs when the oil level is closer
than 25cm to the Watchman Transmitter on tank unit the alarm will
not go off.
- In the event that the on tank unit detects a level drop there may
be a delay in sending the information to the receiver. This delay is to
enable validation and protect against false alarms.
- This product is to be used only on domestic oil tanks within the
parameters outlined in the specifications. Any use of the product on
applications that lie outside a domestic environment is done so at
users own risk.
