All good. All I need is a 3V-CR2430 battery to put in the transmitter, can you please tell me where I can obtain one as they don’t appear to be available in my local shops? Do you know how or if there is anything I can do? It turned out to be my wall-plug receiver. but on the other hand these batteries are at least 12 years old now.
As I recall, all electronics are embedded in epoxy – if you damage the connector on the unit, then I think it might be difficult to replace.Since posting the above message, I have done some research on coaxials. It did briefly show a 0 despite tank having 800 litres in it; then it showed only the r and a flashing light. I replaced the four AAA’s with new alkalines and also replaced the end cap with an “off the shelf” 15mm brass compression stop end fitting and some PTFE sealant. It never occurred to me that the copper top would just be tapped on.… or even that a battery-pack could be used so effectively as an antenna.
This is a little module that looks something like a wall-wart mains power supply. Worked at the second attempt.
not counterfeit), and check their expiry date if possible.After this, I’d clean the battery terminal connectors and screw threads (spray WD-40 and scrape with an old toothbrush and/or flat screwdriver). If all this is wired up, and there’s no build-up of corrosion on any of the connectors, then I can’t think what the problem might be.Excellent tip. This is a little module that looks something like a wall-wart mains power supply. – but several weeks on, and despite numerous unplug/replug attempts (in sockets of varying distance from the tank), I still can’t get a reading. All seemed ok. You should check that any wiring in the tank is properly connected and that the connectors are clean (e.g. Spot of electrolyte paste and Roberts your mothers brother!Thanks for sharing your tip. my watchman was occasionally flashing ‘C’ but then would resume with the level. One is a black length of coax that connects to the depth-sensor, and the other is a white wire that connects to the bund-sensor (a spiky ball that I assume contains a switch that operates if there’s a leak into the bund).Status ‘C’ means connection fault.
I’d check that wiring first, perhaps disconnect it to see if the batteries last longer. The spring on the negative contact needs to be clean, as does the inside of the copper cap that it touches. The sensor sends clicks down the black plastic tube, measures the time taken for echoes to return, and calculates the fluid depth.The version for a bunded tank is slightly different – it has the sensor mounted on the inner tank, and some coaxial cable connects to a transmitter (with similar housing, so it looks very much like the sensor) with the power-tube screwed on. Dirt and corrosion can increase resistance, which could show as a lower voltage from the batteries.Of course, it could also be that the Watchman is faulty and is now simply drawing more current that it should be.First thank you Kevin for all your help and advice.Hi, Just moved to a house with oil and so its new to me. The DC power supply was seemingly OK too. From day one, the receiver has flashed a small ‘c’ and the tank reading. Although I haven’t fixed the problem at least I now know where everything is on the tank and what I need someone to help me with. Please assume (correctly!) It is covered by heavy undergrowth making it very difficultIt’s unlikely that the oil company ripped you off – you should have received a sheet with the delivered volume and details of the truck’s last calibration. You can replace the AAA cells inside simply by twisting off the cap, replacing the batteries, and then twisting the cap back on.That’s all there is to it. It seems to flick through some numbers and then stay on’L’. Thank you.I seem to recall (though I may be wrong) that this was the symbol that showed when my wall plug failed. Great saving on the £38 + vat and delivery that I was about to spend!I acquired property in early Nov 2014. Note that it’s the plug-in receiver that we suspect is vulnerable to power spikes.According to the manual, ‘C’ means a connection fault at the transmitter. It sometimes fails to transmit for more than 24 hours and also gives me a leak-error indicator. A couple of weeks ago we had a power cut – this managed to upset one of the heating system’s programmers and I have a boiler man coming to install the replacement on Thursday. I’m sure they’re pretty standard parts.Take care when removing the old cable if the connector is seized on. I have. I have a watchman Plus on a bunded tank – both new in 2004. Incidentally, on checking the old battery voltages they didn’t seem all that lower than the new ones.Try a power off/on at the receiver, but with the power tube unscrewed.
