Checking LPG tank levels in person takes time, particularly when tanks are spread across multiple or remote sites. Remote LPG tank monitoring lets operators view levels from a computer or phone and receive an alert when a tank reaches a chosen threshold.
The Monnit ALTA Wireless Propane Tank Level Sensor is designed for LPG and propane tanks fitted with a compatible Sr or Jr R3D® Remote Ready gauge. It reads the tank gauge and sends the level data through a Monnit gateway to the iMonnit monitoring platform.
How does remote LPG tank monitoring work?
The sensor connects to the tank’s compatible R3D gauge. It takes readings at configured intervals and transmits them wirelessly to a Monnit gateway. Authorised users can then check the reported tank level through iMonnit and set alerts for low levels.
This helps LPG suppliers and site operators decide when a delivery or site visit is needed, rather than relying only on a fixed schedule or a manual tank check.
What are the benefits?
- Check levels without visiting every tank. View reported levels remotely before sending staff to site.
- Plan deliveries around tank levels. Identify tanks that need attention and prioritise refills.
- Receive low level alerts. Notify designated people when a tank reaches a configured threshold.
- Monitor dispersed sites. Keep track of tanks across properties, facilities or customer locations from one monitoring system.
What do I need to get started?
The Monnit ALTA sensor requires a compatible Sr or Jr R3D Remote Ready gauge on the tank. It also needs a suitable Monnit gateway and a configured monitoring account to make the readings available remotely.
If your tank does not have an R3D compatible dial, speak with your LPG supplier about the appropriate gauge or dial. Do not attempt to change the dial yourself.
Is Monnit ALTA right for my LPG tank?
Monnit ALTA is a practical option when you want to read an existing compatible LPG tank gauge remotely and receive level alerts. The right setup depends on your tank gauge, the location of the tank, gateway connectivity and how you want to receive and use the data.
