STARPIN I Remote Tank Level Monitoring I Metromatics

Remote Tank Level Monitoring STARPIN

The LevelCon StarPin is a compact, solar-powered remote monitoring gateway for tanks, mobile assets and industrial equipment.

When paired with a compatible sensor. The StarPin can monitor tank levels, inventory, pressure, temperature, humidity, flow and other operating conditions. It supports applications involving water, fuels, lubricants, compatible chemicals, wastewater, liquid feed and LPG.

StarPin uses Cat-M1 LTE or 4G mobile connectivity with multi-carrier SIM options to send data to the LevelCon Portal. From there, authorised users can view reported readings. They can monitor past trends and set alerts for level changes. They can also set alerts for filling activity and other selected events.

Furthermore, its GPS and vibration capabilities support asset-location and equipment-runtime monitoring. StarPin can accommodate tanks of different sizes and configurations because the selected sensor determines the measurement method and range.

LevelCon StarPin Remote Tank Monitoring Gateway

The LevelCon StarPin is a compact, solar-powered gateway for remotely
monitoring tanks, mobile assets and industrial equipment.

A compatible sensor measures level, pressure, flow or another required
parameter. StarPin then sends the data through Cat-M1 LTE, 4G or optional
Globalstar satellite communication to the LevelCon Portal. Users can view
reported readings, receive alerts and monitor assets without routinely
visiting the site.

Integrated GPS supports asset location, while vibration sensing can record
equipment movement and runtime. As a result, StarPin can monitor fixed tanks,
mobile storage and equipment such as pumps and generators.
