FAQ
What does SunGene need before quoting Water Tank Overflow Alarm?
For a quotation, send these details: Tank height and liquid type; Alarm threshold and response time; Power source and network coverage; Target country and communication preference. We use them to select sensors, gateways, power and the data connection.
How do we choose the high-water alarm point?
Use the tank height, normal filling level and overflow outlet to agree a high-water threshold. Allow time for the operator to respond, and test the alarm while the tank can still be filled safely.
Does a remote alert stop the filling pump?
A message tells the assigned person that the tank needs attention. Automatic shutdown needs a separately specified local control and protection circuit. Confirm the pump feedback and local interlock with the site electrician.
What should I check before selecting equipment?
Record these site details: High level threshold; Overflow state; Gateway online status. Check the sensor output, receiving input, power supply and installation conditions together. Confirm any required approvals for the exact model and destination.
