How to calibrate tube meter from Aquaero 5 Pro?

Wednesday, January 18th 2012, 7:27pm

Just got the tube meter installed in my Danger Den Monsoon reservoir. Had to turn the Aquaero 5 Pro off and on again before it would be recognized (low speed port on Aquabus).

Now it shows up on an info page but the red LED at the end is flashing and the water level shows 24%-38%. Really doesn't stay steady but bounces around in that range.

The water is covering nearly the entire PCB so I have no idea how it thinks only 25% or so.

1. How does one calibrate this thing from the front panel?

or do we have to use Aquasuite (my machine is in pieces right now so I can't easily run Aquasuite just yet).



2. What does the blinking LED signify? Low water alarm? How do we set that level if so?


Thanks
Tim

Hi Thorvald,

I don't remember if you can actually calibrate the tubemeter, but to change settings you will need your computer running. You have to connect the tubemeter via USB and use an older version of Aquasuite which you can find here: http://www.aquacomputer.de/software.html…tup_4.72.00.exe

The red light does not mean anything if I remember correctly, you can turn off the blinking from the Aquasuite once the tubemeter is connected over USB. You can also set some data logging and adjust the emergency shutdown settings (for those to work I think tubemeter has to be connected via USB and Aquasuite has to be running).

Kind regards,
Boris.

Hmm, well this is a major pain then.



I've installed the old version which of course cannot run at the same time as the new version. It can't find my TubeMeter or Aquaero 5, I've tried find usb devices but to no avail.



My Tube meter is currently connected via Aquabus Low, I'll see if I can find a way to get it onto my regular USB but wow what a pain, will have to pull all graphics cards again to be able to get at that USB header.

Shaggy, will Aquasuite 2012 ever fully support the Tube Meter? If not, I might as well return it.



Thanks

Tim
