Cistern Water Level Gauge for Underground Water Tanks with Antenna Extension, for Applications with Radio Dead Areas Plus Separate Display - EcoMeter S Plus

Instructions were very unclear,leading to much wasted time installing product. Wifi signal does not reach 100 meters; it constantly fails at 28 meters with unobstructed line of sight.

Works just fine

Would not connect over 50 feet. Emailed tech support. After about a week of emails said it should work and they could not help and to send it back.

This is a good device. However, pay attention to the instructions which can also be obtained on-line. I mounted this on the lid of a horizontal drinking water cistern with 1375 US gals capacity. I needed to mount the antenna inside the manhole access to get an unobstructed vertical line-of-sight between the ultrasonic beam and the water level. I had to fashion a self-made mounting bracket for the transponder, cut out of a piece of PVC pipe that I screwed to the inside of the tank. I kept the antenna extension cable intact and routed the cable between the tank lid rubber gasket and the tank rim. I coiled the excess cable around the exterior lid-mounted antenna. The unit comes preprogrammed in US gallons I should have preferred liters for ease calibration. Programming the tank dimensions was straight forward. Be sure to have the exact tank geometry and dimensions. The battery that came with the antenna was flat and I had to replace it. Pairing the antenna with the remote readout instrument panel was simple. You need an outside 110V power source for the instrument readout while pairing. Once paired and in position, I restarted the readout and got a flashing ERROR report even though the antenna and instrument panel were in line-of-sight and within the prescribed distance of 100m. The flashing ERROR message corrected itself overnight if I left the unit switched on! It sometimes reverts to the ERROR signal but self corrects if I leave it on. The LCD readout is in US gallons and with a graduated bar scale indicating the volume of water still in the tank. I am very satisfied with this device and set up. The battery will need to be replaced every 12 months but is not difficult to service.
