Installation and Connection
When installing the fuel level sensor onto the plastic fuel tank it is important to provide a secure electrical connection between the sensor's body and the frame of the vehicle. If this condition isn't met, it can lead to sensor malfunction caused by static electricity.
For installation onto cylindrical fuel tanks with the diameter 420...710 mm follow the instructions in the section Fuel level sensor installation recommendations for cylindrical fuel tanks.
1. Put the vendor furnished mounting point gasket on the Omnicomm LLS-Ex 5 sensor measuring probe
2. Put the Omnicomm LLS-Ex 5 sensor into the tank and fix it:
- when securing with bolts, first put on a spacer and a spring washer
