This document is applied for the following products
1. Introduction
CAP10G is the industrial version of PulseCAP10, designed specifically for generator fuel monitoring applications. The CAP10 has 240..33 ohms resistor output allowing direct connection to a generator controller. It is compatible with most popular generator controllers on the market such as DEEPSEA, EMKO, DATAKOM, COM AP, MGS, SMART GEN, WOODWARD, POWERCOMMAND ... CAP10G with high precision up to 0.5%. Measuring range from 100mm - 1500mm. The sensor has CE EMC certification according to EN61236-1 standard.
2. Notes
- The technicians who install sensor, must be graduated from college of mechanic or electric.
- The mechanical installation staff (drill, cut, grind, etc.) must have skills in mechanical engineering.
- The electrical installation staff (connect, etc.) must have skills in electrical engineering.
- The technician must be trained before using.
3. Safety
- CAP10G is intended to use with Diesel Oil, Vegetable Oil.
- CAP10G must not be used with other flammable fluid such as Gasoline, Alcohol, Ethanol, Acetone, Toluene or other solvents.
- Be careful while drilling, cutting, grinding, etc. The fuel tank or other flammable fluid.
- Daviteq is not responsible for compensation in case of explosion to bodily injury or property damage.
4. Note Before Installation
- Read specifications thoroughly and make sure that its output are suitable to reading devices.
- Power supply must be in the permitted range.
- Do not take out the label and take off the lid as this will lead to the instability of the sensor and manufacturer could deny warranty. (except cutting of sensor length within the allowed range).
- Make sure all the necessary tools are ready before the installation.
- CAP10G be equipped with screws. We advise customers should use stainless steel rivets to fasten the plastic flange onto tank for all type of tanks and only using screws for the thick and hard ones.

8. Sensor Installation Guidance
Step | Discription | Note |
1 | Remove fuel: Remove all fuel from the tank. |
Some tank have been welded with oil filter and have float level sensor installed, so it is necessary to take out the float level sensor before removing the fuel. |
2 |
Clean the tank |
Must clean the tank thoroughly. |
3 |
Central hole locating: The hole will be in the center of tank's up-per side or closest to center. |
This is an important step as it will directly affect the stability of the fuel level data. |
4 |
Drilling the central hole:
|
Before drilling, it is vital to check whether the hole is affected by the internal metal frame or obstacles at the bottom the tank. |
5 |
Flange installation:
|
|
6 |
Sensor cutting: After flange installation, we determine the length of the sensor to be installed as picture below: C = L+20+20-(H+14) => C = L+26-H (mm) C: Length to be cut. L: Original length of the sensor. H: Height of the tank.
*Example: Sensor length is L = 2000, H = 1700 mm => C = 326 mm => Cut the sensor pipe length of 326 mm. |

9. Disassembly Guidance
Please follow the below steps: | Note |
Step 1: Remove the cover Step 2: Remove the terminal connector Step 3: Use the 2 mm Allen key to unlock the hex bolt Step 4: Turn the sensor in counter-clockwise direction |

10. Wiring
10.1 Follow Labels in Wires:
Each cable includes wires which are marked labels according to types of connection. (user should not cut these labels before installation to avoid confusing)
10.2 Follow Wire Colors:
- White: PWR+(8...50VDC)
- Blue: PWR-(OVDC)
- Black: Resistive Output (240.33 Ohm)
Recommend to use 24VDC power.
The signal cable from sensor should be protected by corrugated hose or the Φ16 plastic tube, keep the cable avoid high temperature areas.
11. Periodic Cleaning Guidance
- Periodically clean the oil tank 2, 3 or 6 months depending on usage and contamination.
- Periodically clean the sensor and filter footer 2, 3 or 6 months by:
- Cover a sensor's vent before using the air sprayer for another.
- Remove and clean the filter footer.
12. Troubleshooting
No. | Phenomena | Reasons | Solutions |
1 |
No output |
Sensor's powering wire is damaged |
Check out on the sensor's powering wire |
Overpowering has burnt the signal cable and circuit board |
Send to manufacturer | ||
Being tampered |
Check the seal again before sending back to manufacturer | ||
2 | Signal interference | Sensor was installed too far from central hole of tank | Install sensor as closest as possible to the central hole of tank (the common point of 02 diagonals) |
3 |
Unstable output with many significant strikes |
Accesories burnt or there is liquid inside of board |
Send to manufacturer
|
Connection to power supply is loose |
Check the connection wire |
||
There are impurities in oil tank, such as: boil, mud, sand, water,... |
Clean tank as well as sensor |
