Wireless Propane Tank Level Sensor

The ALTA Wireless Propane Tank Level Sensor accurately measures and reports the volumetric percentage of propane or LPG gas in your tank.

Its measurement range is 0-100%. If the level falls below 8% is considers itself “Empty” and above 80% as “Full”.

This product is ideal for those selling propane and propane accessories. The Wireless propane tank level sensor is compatible with Sr & Jr R3D® Remote ready gauges. Easily installed within 15 minutes and remotely monitoring tank levels.

Wireless Propane Tank Level Sensor is also referred to as LPG Tank Level Sensor.

How it operates

The sensor operates by utilising a magnet attached to a buoyant float inside the tank, which moves with the propane level. A mate gauge on the outside of the tank detects this magnetic movement. At each user-configurable time interval, or “Heartbeat,” the gauge monitor generates a voltage proportional to the magnetic field, converting it into a percentage representing the tank’s volume.

This data is then transmitted to a gateway, making it accessible via iMonnit or other approved data services, providing real-time monitoring and peace of mind.

The software allows the user to set level limits. If levels falls, this lp tank sensor alerts designated personnel via text, e-mail or phone call.

Other reasons to install a propane level sensor:

1. Providers always know: The sensors eliminate time-consuming physical checks. Within seconds a tech can check levels via smartphone or PC.

2. Customers never run dry: Even customers on remote properties don’t need to worry about running out—a tremendous value-add for providers.

3. Streamline operations: Remote monitoring eliminates in-the-field checks, saving vehicle wear-and-tear and freeing personnel to address other needs.

4. Customer satisfaction: Switching to needs-based delivery minimises interruptions and saves customers from re-initialisation fees.

WARNING: If you do not have dial that is R3D compatible. Do NOT attempt to change the dial yourself. Contact your LPG supplier and ask them for a replacement dial that supports the R3D standard. You only need to replace the plastic dial that reports the propane level inside the tank, not the float gauge inside the tank.

The iMonnit Cloud Sensor Management Software provides a central hub for managing the sensor and gateways. It is a cloud-based service allowing your information to be accessible instantly. With basic to premium package access.

The starting price of the sensor is approximately AUD$800.00 exc. GST and you need to purchase a gateway to operate it.
