STAR-Tank User Manual

Safiery STAR-Tank Radar Operating Modes and Calibration There are 4 Operating Modes for STAR-Tank: 1. Hibernation Mode (commonly called “off”) 2. Setup Mode (used to calibrate/setup and reports at 10 sec intervals for 10 mins) 3. Normal Mode with 60 second scan time automatically occurs 10minutes after being in setup mode. 4. Over the Air Update Mode (commonly call OTA) is a separate user initiated mode. Before moving from Hibernation mode to Setup mode, there are two allowable positions for STAR-Tank in SETUP Mode. Either: • Start with an empty tank or one containing a minimal amount of liquid and have STAR-Tank in its recording position. OR • If the tank is not empty, point the STAR-Tank sensor into open air, ensuring there are no obstructions within at least 5 meters and follow the Setup mode with STAR-Tank pointing into open space. Do not proceed with the calibration on a partially full tank with STAR-Tank on top of the tank. After following Setup Mode below, then place STAR-Tank on a partially full tank. THEN Enter Setup Mode: 1. Press and hold the button for 5 to 15 seconds, then release to enter SETUP MODE. The LED will indicate the following statuses: • Green: Button held for less than 5 seconds (not in Setup Mode). • Fast Flashing Red: Button held for 5 to 15 seconds (Setup Mode activated). • Then Release the button before the 15secs is up. The LED will now show the selected maximum tank depth as follows: • One Green Flash for 1 sec: Small Depth of 0-50cm. To change the depth, go back to step 1 above and repeat the 5 to 15sec press. Remember to release the button before 15 seconds. The calibrated tank depth will cycle through the three levels. Once the level is nominated, the AI function is now complete. Every 10 seconds for 10 minutes, the LED flashes tank level status: Flashing purple means tank is absolutely full or some object under sensor is blocking it like a baffle or the tank is empty and DRY. Flashing red means the tank is close to full. Flashing green means tank level is 100cm or more below the sensor. In-between are the colours of orange to yellow. • Two Red Flashes for 2 secs: Medium Depth of 50-100cm. • Three Blue Flashes for 3 secs: Large Depth of 100-200cm.
