Frequently Asked Questions

A water level controller is an automated device that monitors water levels in tanks and controls pump operations accordingly. It uses sensors (like float switches or ultrasonic sensors) to detect water levels and automatically starts or stops pumps to maintain optimal water levels. This prevents tank overflow, pump dry-running, and ensures consistent water supply without manual intervention.

The choice depends on your specific requirements:

• APC-01FP-V4: Best for residential homes and small commercial applications (up to 2 HP)
• APC-03FP-V4: Ideal for industrial and large commercial applications (up to 10 HP)
• WLI-P-V4: Perfect for monitoring multiple tanks with visual indicators
• AT-4C-V4: Great for scheduled water pumping operations
• MTMS-W-V5: Best for large-scale operations requiring wireless monitoring

Contact our experts for personalized recommendations based on your specific needs.

Follow this troubleshooting checklist:

1. Power Supply: Verify proper voltage at the controller input
2. Sensor Connection: Check all sensor cables and connections
3. Float Switch: Test float switch operation manually
4. Controller Settings: Verify timer settings and manual mode status
5. Circuit Breaker: Check if circuit breakers are tripped
6. Pump Motor: Test pump motor directly to confirm it's working
7. Water Level: Ensure water level is within configured thresholds

If the issue persists, contact our technical support with specific error codes or symptoms.

Common error codes and their meanings:

• E01: Sensor malfunction - check sensor connections
• E02: Pump overload - check pump motor and reduce load
• E03: Dry run protection activated - check water source
• E04: Phase failure (three-phase models) - check power supply
• E05: Communication error - check network connections
• E06: Memory error - system restart required

For complete error code reference and solutions, consult your product manual or contact support.

For wireless connectivity issues with MTMS-W-V5:

1. Signal Strength: Check if the device is within range of gateway
2. Network Configuration: Verify network settings and credentials
3. Device Registration: Ensure device is properly registered on the network
4. Antenna Position: Check antenna orientation and positioning
5. Battery Level: Verify sufficient battery charge or solar panel function
6. Interference: Check for radio frequency interference sources
7. Firmware Update: Ensure latest firmware is installed

Our wireless specialists can provide remote diagnostics and configuration support.

Recommended maintenance schedule:

• Monthly: Visual inspection of all connections and indicators
