Plastic Tank with Lid

1 - Mechanical Installation

The required IoT Pro BSP Adapter with Flange for this installation can be ordered from the IoT Pro Product Selector, under Radar & Tilt Module Accessories > Mechanical Adapter Selection

General Idea

Threaded Attachment

If the threaded attachment was not delivered pre-assembled, follow this guide to assemble it onto the device.

Mounting Procedure

Where possible, mount the device on a fixed part of the tank rather than on the lid. This avoids having to remove or disturb the device whenever the tank needs to be opened for inspection or maintenance.

  1. Identify a suitable mounting area on the tank, close enough to the lid to allow any debris produced during drilling to be collected and removed

  2. Drill a 50mm diameter hole at the selected location using a suitable hole saw (add MPN)

  3. Centre the supplied flange over the drilled hole and secure it using the five self-drilling screws (add MPN). Tighten the screws progressively in a star pattern to ensure even pressure.

    • Note: If the tank wall is too thick for the supplied self-drilling screws, suitable bolts and nuts may be used instead.

    • Note: If the mounting surface is uneven or the flange does not sit flush, apply a suitable sealant (add MPN) to ensure a proper seal.

  4. Screw the device's threaded attachment onto the flange until securely seated. Tighten securely, but do not apply excessive force.

Required Measurements

Take the following measurements based on whether the plastic tank is a cuboid, horizontal cylinder or vertical cylinder.
