FAQs
What is the maximum Wi-Fi range for the TLC2206?
The EPTTECH TLC2206 has a maximum Wi-Fi range of 15 meters (approximately 50 feet) without any obstacles. Performance may vary in environments with many walls or interference.
Can this monitor be used for drinking water tanks?
Yes, the non-contact ultrasonic measurement principle prevents contamination, making it suitable for drinking water tanks. However, always ensure it meets local regulations for water storage systems.
How is the sensor powered?
The sensor is powered by a 9V DC adapter, which requires a 100-240V AC power outlet.
What types of liquids can the TLC2206 measure?
It can measure acidic, alkaline, salty, and high-temperature liquids, as well as standard water, provided they are within the operating temperature range of -10℃ to +70℃.
Can I monitor multiple tanks with one app?
Yes, the EPTTECH app supports connecting and managing up to 10 TLC2206 sensors simultaneously, allowing you to monitor multiple tanks from a single interface.
What does the IP67 rating mean?
An IP67 rating means the device is protected against dust ingress and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. This indicates a high level of water resistance.
Does the product require a subscription for app usage?
The provided product information does not mention any subscription requirements for the app. Typically, such devices offer basic monitoring features without ongoing fees.
Troubleshooting
Sensor not connecting to Wi-Fi
Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz, the password is correct, and the sensor is within the 15m range of your router. Try restarting your router and the sensor.
Inaccurate or no level readings
Check that the sensor is mounted securely and centered on the tank. Ensure there are no obstructions directly below the sensor that could interfere with the ultrasonic waves. Verify the liquid is within the sensor's measuring range (10cm - 2.9m).
App not displaying correct level
Close and reopen the EPTTECH app. Ensure your smartphone has a stable internet connection. Check if the sensor is still connected to Wi-Fi via the app's device status.
Device not powering on
Verify that the 9V DC power adapter is correctly connected to the sensor and plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check the power adapter itself for damage.
Alerts not being received
Check your app notification settings on your smartphone and ensure they are enabled for the EPTTECH app. Confirm that custom alarm levels are set correctly within the app and that the liquid level has crossed these thresholds.
