FAQ
1. Q: What does this ultrasonic liquid level sensor monitor?
A: This sensor monitors the liquid level in water tanks, such as rainwater harvesting tanks, using ultrasonic waves to accurately measure the distance to the water surface.
2. Q: How does this ultrasonic level sensor connect to my smart home?
A: It connects directly to your 2.4 GHz WiFi network and integrates with the Tuya Smart or Smart Life app for real-time monitoring and alerts.
3. Q: Can I receive notifications when the water level is too low or high?
A: Yes. When the sensor detects abnormal water levels (too low or too high), it can send push notifications to your smartphone through the connected app.
4. Q: Does this water level sensor have an alarm feature?
A: Yes. It includes an alarm function that can trigger sound/visual warnings locally and through the app when preset liquid levels are reached.
5. Q: Where should this ultrasonic sensor be installed?
A: It should be mounted at the top of the water tank or near the point where the water level needs to be monitored, ensuring the ultrasonic waves can reflect off the water surface unobstructed.
6. Q: Is this sensor battery powered or does it require external power?
A: This product typically uses AC power (via adapter) for continuous monitoring and stable performance. Both European and British standards are available. Confirm the power method in your product specifications.
7. Q: How accurate is the ultrasonic level measurement?
A: Ultrasonic sensors provide precise and reliable distance measurements, making them suitable for water tank monitoring with minimal interference from water turbulence.
8. Q: Can this sensor be used for other liquids besides water?
A: While optimized for water and rainwater tanks, ultrasonic sensors can often detect the surface of other non-foam liquids, but performance may vary depending on liquid properties.
9. Q: How do I set up alerts for specific water levels?
A: Using the Tuya Smart or Smart Life app, you can configure custom level thresholds and alert preferences so you receive notifications when the monitored liquid reaches the defined limits.
10. Q: Is this sensor suitable for outdoor usage in rainwater harvesting systems?
A: Yes. The sensor is designed for outdoor and indoor water tank environments, but it should be installed according to the manual, ensuring proper protection against extreme weather and avoiding direct water contact with the sensor electronics.
