I. Initial setup
Prepare the liquid level sensor
Connect the hook (part no. 4) to the probe holder (part no. 5) with the fixing screws and nuts
(key 2 and number 3).
Then insert the sensor with the cable (part 6) and the holder (part 5) as shown in the picture.
To do this, unscrew the top nut enough to insert the sensor into the holder (part 5), insert
the sensor, and then re-tighten the nut.
Hang the entire sensor on the aquarium wall and gently tighten the stabilizing screw (No. 1)
ATTENTION! Be careful not to twist the parts too tightly so as not to damage them.
Mount the level sensors in the tank
The level sensors should be mounted in the tank in such a way that they
correctly indicate the liquid level. Depending on the height of the water
in the aquarium, they can be mounted in two ways.
If you have a low water level in your tank, you can install a level sensor as
shown in the picture on the left.
However, if your tank has a high water level, you can mount the sensor
as shown in the picture on the right.

Connect the circulation pump and wires to the unit.
One of the floats should be installed about 5 cm higher than the
other, and the sensors should be as far apart as possible (see
picture opposite). This allows for additional control of the water
level.
Connect the control wires of the sensors to the inputs on the
device.
Connect the refilling system device to the socket marked with a
drop.
Depending on your tank, adjust the parameters of the
pump to replenish evaporated water to your needs. Pay
attention to the lift height so that the pump is able to lift the water column to the correct height
and the eciency of the device.
If you are using direct top-up water from the RO/DI filter, you can use the solenoid valve. In this
case, be sure to use a high-end solenoid valve that only opens when power is applied. Using an
inappropriate solenoid valve may overflow the aquarium.
The maximum output load of the device is 500 W.
Hang the device.
The device can be hung using the supplied pegs and mounting
screws. The holes for hanging the device are located on the
back of the device.
In order not to make a mistake with the appropriate distances
for holes in the surface, on which you want to mount the
device, you can use the template that has been attached to
the manual.
The device should be hung where it cannot be splashed with water and the humidity is low.
