- Download the free Mopeka Co-Pilot App from your device's app store.
-
Select a mounting location on top of the tank. Refer to Figure 1a and 1b at the bottom of page 2.
- Typically, because the wall on plastic tanks may deform over time, the center of the top wall is a good location; such that if the top wall deforms downward over time, the sensor will stay relatively level.
- Otherwise, any level location on the top wall, at least 3 inches away from any side wall, if possible, will be adequate.
- For odd-shaped tanks, the sensor is typically installed on the tallest section of the tank.
- If the tank has any internal devices, the sensor should not be installed over such devices. The sensor measures the airgap between the top of the tank and the liquid using ultrasonic technology. The airgap just under the sensor should be clear of any obstructions.
- Planned wire routing between the sensor and the 12V electrical system should also be considered when deciding mount location.
- Cut a hole 1.25" (32mm) diameter in top of tank at the chosen location. Note: the sequence of remaining steps (electrical connections and final mounting of the sensor) should be considered now. Depending on access to the mounting location and wire routing, it may be easier to make electrical connections before sensor is mounted, or vice versa.
-
Electrical connection:
-
Connect the sensor wires to the 12 V electrical system.
- Red Wire = 12 V Power
- Black Wire = Common
-
Blue Wire =
- Connect to Power (red wire) or leave disconnected tanks up to 30" height.
- Connect to Ground (black wire) for tanks 30" up to 48" in height.
- When the sensor is connected to power, the sensor will go into a "Sync" mode for 5 minutes, in which it will be visible to the app. So, within those 5 minutes, open the app and add the sensor to the device list within the app.
-
Connect the sensor wires to the 12 V electrical system.
-
Final mounting:
- Prior to final mounting, it might be useful to measure tank height thru the mounting hole with a tape or ruler. See Figure 2 and Figure 3.
- The sensor flange has 2-sided tape applied to the flange. A primer stick is provided with the sensor. Apply primer around the edge of the tank hole where the 2 sided taped flange will contact the tank. The Primer will promote adhesion, especially on plastic tanks that are typically difficult for adhesive bonding.
- Peel the paper from the tape and install sensor into the hole. Pressure is required to adequately 'activate' tape adhesion. Press firmly around entire flange.
- Mounting screws are provided and highly recommended. Pilot holes for screw installation should be 1/8" or No.30 drill bit (.1285").
App Settings:
- Sensor is now ready for use.
- Return to the app, select the sensor, and then go to the settings tab for the sensor.
- Enter the height of the tank to ensure accurate readings. See figures below.
- There are other various settings that may be set according to your own preferences, including renaming the sensor.
