Tunze 3152 float sensor water level

[MammothWombat]

Hello,

This is my first ATO, and I am having trouble with the water level for the sensor (How deep to submerge the float sensor?).

Thanks,

I recommend looking at videos. Much easier to understand with visuals than reading

install it using the optical eye as your measuring stick as the float is your backup. plug it in and let it go through the initial 10 second fill. depending how high you have the sensor it will either 1) sit at the right level and not do anything or 2) quickly after it will start filling again or start screaming at you for being too full. just adjust the magnate up or down to the level that satisfies the proper operating level .

I couldn't find any videos that clearly show the setup for the 3152.

This is the 3152 not the 3155. It doesn't have an optical sensor

ok well same process but instead of responding to the optical you just move the magnate up and down to suit your proper water level in relation to the float switch.
