In the event of an alarm condition,remove the riser pipe cap and extract the reservoir sensor.Then use a dipstick to measure the reservoir liquid level to determine if the low or high level alarm was tripped.If the dipstick measurement is 1.25"(2.00"for tanks 15,000 gallon capacity or larger) Reservoir Se nsoror tens,the reservoir has drained,indicating a low level alarm.If the Model Rsloexbladorla:t dipstick measurement is 14"or higher,the high level alarm was activated. leadFor a low level alarm,refill the reservoir to 2A full and continue monitoring. For a high level alarm,remove liquid from the reservoir until it is 2A full and continue monitoring.
