Install the sensor into the tank of the installed tube in the previously drilled hole ø 30-35 mm. Make sure '''the gasket is installed''' between the sensor and the tank. After this, screw the screws from the installation kit into the previously drilled ø 3mm holes.<gallery widths="700" heights="400"> | Install the sensor into the tank of the installed tube in the previously drilled hole ø 30-35 mm.

This procedure will result in a "level-liters" (or "level-gallons") table that will allow your monitoring platform to convert the level values that the sensor provides into liters/gallons that are displayed in the monitoring platform reports. | </gallery>Proceed to tank calibration.

* Make sure that the filtration is set to '''“No”''' ('''1'''). Filtration slows down the level calculation and can increase the tank calibration time. | * Make sure that the filtration is set to '''“No”''' ('''1''').

* Select whether calibration is performed by filling or draining. The '''Filling''' method is recommended as it is more accurate. If you select the '''Drain''' method, you cannot be sure what exact amount of fuel is in the tank and whether the tank is full or not. | * Select whether calibration is performed by filling or draining.
