What you’ll need

Installation Instructions

  1. Assemble the provided brackets onto your device with the M5 hardware as shown


  2. If your device will not be used for distance sensing applications, skip to step 3

    1. Mark the ideal position for your device such that there is an unobstructed line of sight perpendicular to the liquid in the tank/ well etc. and drill a 50 mm diameter hole with the cylinder saw

    2. Place the provided gasket onto the surface, with the radar hole corresponding to the hole drilled previously
