The GOK SmartBox AIR Wi-Fi<\/a> makes monitoring tank levels significantly more convenient. This innovative, battery-operated device enables precise remote display of tank contents and offers a user-friendly solution for managing heating oil, diesel, and other liquids. This blog post will guide you step-by-step through the installation and commissioning of the SmartBox AIR Wi-Fi. We will start with the mounting of the device and the measuring hose, then guide you through the commissioning process so you can keep an eye on your tank level at all times.

<\/span>Foreword<\/span><\/h2>\n

Although this text provides some illustrative details on the mounting and commissioning of the SmartBox AIR Wi-Fi, it does not replace the installation and operating instructions<\/a>. If you have chosen the SmartBox AIR Wi-Fi, the supplied installation and operating instructions are the basis for a smooth and successful installation.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Mounting the Device and Measuring Hose<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/span>Preparation<\/span><\/h3>\n

Before starting the installation, check the product for transport damage and ensure all components are complete. We recommend that qualified personnel perform the installation to ensure safe and correct mounting.<\/p>\n

\"Recommendation
Recommendation from GOK: After unpacking the SmartBox AIR Wi-Fi, read the enclosed installation and operating instructions to ensure smooth installation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

<\/span>Installing the Measuring Hose with Weighted Sleeve<\/span><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Mounting set attachment:<\/strong>\u00a0Screw the mounting set into the tank lid in an airtight manner, for example, using PTFE tape to ensure a tight connection. If the tank has larger connection threads than G1 1\/2, commercially available reducers can be used to reduce them to the G1 1\/2 connection thread of the installation body.<\/li>\n
  2. Insert measuring hose:<\/strong> Insert the measuring hose with the weighted sleeve through the cable gland of the mounting set into the tank.<\/li>\n
  3. Secure measuring hose:<\/strong> Lower the measuring hose with the weighted sleeve into the tank until the weighted sleeve touches the tank bottom. Then secure the measuring hose by tightening the cable gland. The weighted sleeve can also be positioned lying on the tank bottom if preferred.<\/li>\n
  4. Consideration of sump deposits:<\/strong>\u00a0If there are deposits on the tank bottom, do not insert the hose all the way to the bottom. Consider this distance between the hose end and the tank bottom in future measurements.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These steps ensure that the measuring hose is correctly installed and enables precise measurements.<\/p>\n

    <\/span>Mounting the Display Device<\/span><\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Remove housing cover:<\/strong>\u00a0Loosen the screw on the underside of the display device and remove the housing cover.<\/li>\n
    2. Positioning:<\/strong>\u00a0Place the display device above the highest possible fill level of the tank on a smooth, vertical wall.<\/li>\n
    3. Mark positions:<\/strong>\u00a0Punch through the pre-punched recesses on the inside of the housing rear wall and mark the positions for mounting.<\/li>\n
    4. Attachment:<\/strong>\u00a0Mount the display device using the enclosed dowels and screws. Be careful not to damage electronic components.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      <\/span>Connecting the Measuring Hose to the Pressure Pump<\/span><\/h3>\n

      Ensure the measuring hose is securely and tightly connected to the pressure pump. Check the connection to prevent accidental loosening.<\/p>\n

      Also important:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Route the measuring hose to the display device without kinks.<\/li>\n
      • Do not pull over sharp edges.<\/li>\n
      • Route the measuring hose to the tank in a downward direction.<\/li>\n
      • Shorten the measuring hose if necessary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
