an Oil-Tank Monitoring puzzle : Domestic Heating

[John Doe 2Participant @johndoe2]

Ah, I see now what you were asking. You asked "what does it (1,2,3) do", but what you meant was, 'what tank volume does 1,2,3 test for.?'.

[ UPDATE ]

I doubt this will come as any surprise to those that followed the logic … but it’s worth mentioning in case anyone ever visits this thread in the future:

As mentioned above: Having set the switches appropriately, the Apollo correctly read empty

This morning, 500 litres of oil were dispensed into the 1,000 litre tank, and the Apollo is reading half full.

… and they all lived happily ever after.

[ or at least I will be warm enough to be able to think about what to do next ]

Well, yes … if you prefer to put it that way

Alternatively the answer to my question could be

“it sets the ‘low level audible warning’ function, and a useable tank height of 2420 mm”

[ noting that tank volume remains unknown ]
