The Apollo Smart Monitor is intended to be connected to a
power source continuously. It contains a small battery to keep
time during power cuts. If the Apollo Smart Monitor is left
unpowered for an extended period then the battery will deplete
and information may be lost. When you are not using your
domestic oil heating system, you may unplug the Apollo Smart
and store it until you wish to use your heating again. Its back-up
battery and internal clock keep track of the days as they pass.
When you next use it, on starting to use your heating again, the
Apollo Smart will continue monitoring your oil usage, and
calculating the financial cost and environmental impact.
When the Apollo Smart has been unplugged and is plugged in
again, it will start up in ‘Lrn’ mode. Simply press any key to exit.
When you are receiving an oil fill, the Apollo Smart Transmitter
cannot receive a reliable echo due to turbulence within the tank
and may cause the Apollo Smart Monitor to temporarily display
some error messages. Should the tank be filled above the
recommended 95% this will obstruct the transmitter signal until
the oil level drops below 120mm from the transmitter. The
transmitter will be unable to send accurate readings during this
period.
The Apollo Smart owner should note that the first fill amount of
oil into a tank will differ from the amount shown on the display.
This is due to the fact that the Apollo Smart Monitor displays the
volume of Usable oil available. The Apollo Smart Monitor in its
calculations makes an allowance of 8cm of unusable oil in the
bottom of the tank due to the location of the bottom outlet or
the top discharge pipe.
Not suitable for pressurised containers. Only use on tanks
vented to the atmosphere.
Only access the Reset Switch if instructed by customer service.
Pressing the reset will erase all historical data.
Changes in temperature can result in contraction and expansion
of the tank and hence can affect the tank capacity. Such changes
may affect your readings.

4) DISPLAY SCREENS
There are two types of information displayed on the Apollo Smart Monitor:
CURRENT information screens–used in normal mode to show the current status of the oil level in your tank. Change between the
‘Ltr.’, ‘%’, ‘Days to empty’, and Clock screens using the rand skeys.
For approximately 1 week after the Apollo Smart is installed, it collects data so that the ‘Average per day’ value may be calculated. During
this period the screen will flash ‘---‘when showing ‘Days to empty’. (In the picture ‘flashing’ is indicated by the red circle).
After the 1 week period has passed, the display may continue to show ‘---‘ (but not flashing). This
indicates that a meaningful value could not be calculated. This may occur in periods when there is no (or
extremely low) usage. The ‘---‘ may be displayed in any of the HISTORICAL information screens under
these conditions.
The screen may also show ‘---‘if the Apollo Smart Monitor had been unplugged for some time. In this
case ‘---‘ means that it has no recent reading from the transmitter with which to display a value on the
