How would I mount it to the side of the unit in that orientation? The way I see it, I’ve only got two options: the sensor pointing out from the unit like the coral cue install video shows it or tirn it around so it points towards the inside of the unit. Not sure how I could mount it so it is pointing up or down?
Are you sure you have it wired right? It supposed to shutdown after about 30 seconds or something close to that if the sensor does not stop reading high.
Thanks for the idea, I might give that a try tomorrow. I rotated the whole unit to have the sensor face a less turbulent part of the sock holder but it’s still starting to roll before the water level is anywhere near the sensor. Pretty sure it’s wired right but I’ll check again. My next step is to eliminate the controller and sensor all together and use an apex optical sensor to control it.Are you sure you have it wired right?

Putting that aside if your having some kind of misting issue you could make a DIY dome that covers the sensor from water spray but is open on the bottom and has an air hole at the top. Drilling a hole the same size as the sensor threads into the side of a 20 ml dosing cap and then putting the sensor through the hole and using the plastic nut to hold the two down should work.
Sorry for the crude drawing but I just did this quickly in MS paint to show you what I mean
It points out like you have it but just rotate it so the bevel edge is up down.
Oh ok, I gotcha. I’ll give that a try as the bevel is currently horizontal. Thanks!
I just rotated it. So far, so good. Thanks.
keep it clean with a a spray bottle of RO water is what i do once n while but i dont really get that now after i contacted coralvue they sent me o new controller which stopped the over advancing and not stopping. mine runs greot now
Glad you got this figured out. I’ve had a Klir 7 for about six months or so. CoralVue support has been super helpful so I wouldn’t hesitate to contact them. They’ve helped me troubleshoot problems and have sent me replacement items as needed.
Thanks. I just went ahead and did that since they aren’t available by phone until tomorrow. Hopefully they’ll have a fix for me.
What are those pieces under your sensor? They almost look like Lego. What’s the story on that?
I have gone thru this exact thing and took dame steps as you even contacted cv who responded but did not help. I e turned unit around so sensor was in less turbulence, and positioned sensor different ways but still same thing every day controller alarm went off stopping operation till I press button. Finally after couple weeks of screwing around I build this remotely mounted sensor holder and placed it in my tray away from popping bubbles which cause the bubbles popping next to sensor was my issue. After finding if I place this in corner backwards then the area sensor is in is calm and now works properly.
Mine is also controllerd by my controller and I started using a timer like you are doing but then a few days later I started getting alarms going off because I had stirred up the ditritus in the tank and the level sensor was high for longer than 5 minutes. I decided to go back to using a level sensor ane let it do it's thing. It runs for about 40 seconds everyday which is enough to turn over the fleece every day. My controller outlets keep track of runtime so it's easy to know how much its run each day and when the role is getting near to the end. BTW I ditched the optical sensor and use one of my controllers float sensors, they work a lot better and don't give any false alarms.
