AQUILO LIQUID LEVEL INDICATOR - POLISH TECHNICAL IDEA

Aquilo liquid level indicators - Polish technical idea 

Aquilo is a promising Polish manufacturer of electronics for the home and garden. The company is characterised by an innovative approach to liquid level indicator technology. Aquilo is a perfect example of the fact that on the Polish market a customer can buy a modern Polish product of high quality. Without a doubt, the advantage of the liquid level indicators is also the low price. The end customer receives a fully functional product, which is in no way inferior to top Western manufacturers.

The Aquilo engineers' goal was to ensure maximum safety and convenience for the user. They achieved this by combining automation with modern technology. Did they succeed? We can certainly confirm that the device is very easy to operate and its functionality will meet all expectations. In the following article, you will learn how the device works. We will also discuss how to configure it.

How does the Aquilo WiFi CS-04 liquid level indicator work?

The manufacturer Aquilo offers an electronic measuring indicator that is dedicated to rainwater and septic tanks. It can be successfully installed in various types of tanks with shapes similar to a cube or sphere. It can also be placed in the middle of an underground tank. This is a very big advantage and opens up wider application perspectives. The CS-04 indicator can be considered a universal device. In fact, the only limitations are the maximum depth of the tank - 600 cm - and the minimum distance of the liquid from the transmitter - 10 cm. Maintaining these distances is necessary for the sensor indications to be correct.

The set consists primarily of two devices, namely a transmitter and a receiver. Aquilo offers a liquid level indicator in two versions: a battery-operated transmitter and a 230 V transmitter. The transmitter uses microwave waves for measurements. The set is small in size so that it can be made in a confined space and is therefore not very visible.

The tank gauge works using WiFi transmission technology. The receiver's task is to capture the signal from the transmitter and send it to the cloud. Management and monitoring is done via the compatible 'Aquilo' app. The developers of the indicator have ensured that the app is accessible to the widest possible range of users. Both Android and IOS smartphone users can enjoy its functionality. In addition, the app is available for browsers. The app is very intuitive and its interface is user-friendly, making reading the water level easy. It opens up many possibilities including:

  • Reports the liquid level,
  • Reports the battery charge status,
  • Stores data in history so that measurements can be compared,
  • Predicts fill time based on the recorded fill rate,
  • Sends notification of high fill level,
  • Gives the option to automatically send an SMS to the septic tank company when service is necessary.

Configuration and installation of the CS-04 indicator

Installation, initial start-up and configuration is very simple. The whole process can be presented in a few sub-sections:

  • Installation of the app, which is available on the App Store and Google Play.
  • Screwing on the antenna and connecting the receiver to a 230 V power socket inside the building.
  • Giving the app permission to take photos and record videos.
  • Subsequently, scan the QR code of the device (on the receiver).
    Connecting the devices and configuration - selecting the WiFi network; a correct connection will be signalled by an LED which will light up blue.
  • Screw on the antenna and insert the batteries in the transmitter (or connect the cable to the 230 V power supply). It will take a while for the indicator to connect. The application will initially note that the tank is 0% full.
  • Installation of the transmitter inside the tank.
    Configuration of notifications and tank parameters in the app (tank shape, use, tank depth, etc.).

The manufacturer also recommends that the receiver be placed on a higher floor of the building to ensure better signal coverage and trouble-free data transmission. If the signal is still too weak, additional antennas should be used. 

Aquilo's tank fill indicator is a fully intelligent solution. As we mentioned earlier, it is a universal device. Virtually every user will cope with its installation and connection. It provides complete safety and peace of mind when storing water and septic tanks. The Aquilo indicator is a guarantee of good quality at an attractive price, which makes it one of the best price/quality ratio products on the market. It is worth remembering that this is a Polish product and by buying it, you are supporting Polish entrepreneurs.
