If it is not possible to install the sensor in the center of the tank, consider installing two sensors diagonally at two corners. When fuel flows to one side of the tank, the level on the corresponding sensor will rise, and on the opposite side, the level will correspondingly decrease, while the average level will remain unchanged.

===== '''<big>Ladder shape tank's tank calibration</big>''' =====
When calibrating, it is necessary to create two tables, one for "'''FLS 1'''" and the second for "'''FLS 2'''"
Let's assume that the calibration step is 10 liters.
At the beginning of calibration, when the fuel is in the "'''Red Zone'''", the level changes will only occur on "'''FLS 2'''", so we directly add calibration steps of 10 liters to the table for "'''FLS 2'''".
When the fuel is in the "'''Yellow Zone'''" changes will occur on both "'''FLS 1'''" and "'''FLS 2'''", during this period we record changes in both tables with half a step, that is, we also fill in 10 liters, but we record 5 liters in the table of each sensor.
When the fuel is in the "'''Green Zone'''" the changes will only occur on "'''FLS 1'''" so we directly add calibration steps of 10 liters to the table for "'''FLS 1'''".
On the platform "'''FLS 1'''" and "'''FLS 2'''" are started as separate sensors with their own tables and then a third virtual sensor is created with the sum of liters for two sensors, an example of starting two FLS on the platform is shown [https://docs.google.com/document/d/14p9GYmY0D1Wjz0ZfJXO-soVfxRBP7EiY7TgibD6vmZQ/edit?usp=sharing in this instruction.]

The elements are installed in the driver’s cabin of a vehicle or other equipment. If it is not possible to install in these locations, provide them with additional protection from external climatic (for example, sun, precipitation) and operational (for example, heating, moving parts) influences.

You should clean the sensor tubes preferably by flushing them with the clean fuel and blowing them through the drain holes with compressed air.


If this error occurred after the start of operation of the sensor, it means that most likely these impurities got into the sensor tubes from the tank and in this case it is also necessary to flush the tank.
If this error occurred after the start of operation of the sensor, it means that most likely these impurities got into the sensor tubes from the tank and in this case it is also needed to ensure that the tank itself doesn't contain any contaminations.
