Hello,

I'm trying to install the contactless level sensor,but the english manual is not that clear.

The sensor can be sticked or screwed and has to be fixed in a way that the side with the cross line shows to the tank

shows to the tank ?????
Thus that mean that the sticker needs to be against the glass or not ?

its exactly like that

or in other words: after fixing you can see the adjustment screw

Bleh :((((((

The sensor doesn't work , whatever I do with the adjusting screw it remains on or off. if I move it to see if it works it never switches.
I'm testing this on a 8 mm glas sump.

8 mm glas is normally no problem - but there are some sorts of glas where the sensor is not working very well
another reason could be that the glass is wet (e.g. through splashing water or waves) or not clean enough, maybe there is some salt.

If nothing helps (e.g. cleaning the class) you should use another sensor type (e.g. optical). Please contact your retailer in this case for a replacement.

This weekend I will do some tests with a another aquarium I have. thinner glass, and with a plastic container.
