Setup the pressure chamber
Below is an illustration on how to connect the pressure
chamber using the provided clamp, bushing, and tube.
After the PTLevel is mounted, run the black tube through
any necessary holes before proceeding to the next step.
Depending on the device you are using, find where you
can see the list of available WiFi signals. If you need
more help with this, see our YouTube videos.
Lower the pressure chamber
Once the black tubing is fully connected and sealed
tight, lower the pressure chamber into the liquid volume
and allow it to lower to the bottom slowly.
See the Overview on the other side.
Note: Do not drop the chamber in an empty tank or it
could break.
Note: You can cut the black tube shorter if you need, just
pull it out of the liquid before you disconnect any of the
tubing.
Check the wireless connection
Press the connect button on the side of the PTLevel
transmitter. If the status LED blinks three times slowly,
you are connected! See the troubleshooting on the other
side if the LED does not blink three times slowly.

Create an account
Visit www.ptdevices.com and select “Sign Up” if you
don’t already have an account. Fill out the required
inputs or click on a social login option for a simpler
process.
Final setup!
If everything setup properly, you should see a level
reading online. Press the connect button on the
transmitter for a more recent reading.
After you have selected the “Add my device” button, you
should see a “Waiting for device to connect” screen. If
the PTLevel receiver is all setup properly, the waiting
screen should disappear within a minute. If it does not,
click on the “Remove this” and try adding it again. If it
still does not work, try connecting the WiFi again.
Click on the “Please Setup” button near the level
reading. Enter in the full depth of the tank and configure
anything else.
Congratulations!
You should be all setup. See the calibration section on
the other side to do your first calibration.
Add your device
Once in your account, select “Add PTLevel” from the
menu or “Connect It” from the dashboard. On the next
screen, add the following ID of the PTLevel.
Note: Make sure all
tubing connections
are setup and
sealed properly or
the PTLevel will not
read accurately.

Quick Troubleshooting Maintenance
Calibration
Can’t connect to WiFi
• Check the strength of the WiFi signal. Try moving the receiver closer
to your WiFi router.
• Ensure that the password you are entering is correct during the
setup. You can check by trying the password with another device.
Note: WiFi passwords are case sensitive.
Level is not reading accurately
• Pull the weight out of the liquid volume, let it drain and replace it
back in the liquid. This resets the air pressure.
• Check for any possible air leaks along the tubing and connections.
• Check for any water in the small back tube by applying a slight
vacuum to it.
Transmitter status conditions
• Three blinks slowly after pressing the connect button.
Successful connection
• Two quick flashes after pressing the connect button.
Cannot find/connect to the receiver. See below.
Receiver and Transmitter not connecting
• Check the distance and the objects in between. Try moving the
transmitter closer to see if a connection can be established.
• Transmitter and receiver may not be linked for some reason. Please
contact us about this.
We recommend that once a season you remove the
pressure chamber from the liquid volume, let it drain,
then replace it into the liquid again. This resets the air
pocket and will keep the reading as accurate as
possible. Press the “connect” button on the transmit-
ter to update the online level. You should also
re-calibrate.
1. Measure the amount of liquid in the tank.
2. Divide that measurement by the full empty depth
of the tank.
Ie: 72” of water / 144” tank height = 0.5
3. Multiply the above result with 100 to get the
current percentage.
Ie: 0.5 * 100 = 50%
4. Enter the result from step 3 into the calibration
input online.
5. Press the “Connect” button on the Transmitter to
ensure that the calibration is updated online.
Make sure that your device is functioning and
connected online first.
Battery Replacement
Simply remove the four screws on the PTLevel
transmitter lid. Pull off the lid and the batteries will be
visible.
