Introduction

This tank monitoring guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing, setting up, and resolving common issues.


Check the gateway type

There are several gateways in our range, using the options below, you can follow detailed steps:

Hint!

If you’re not sure which type of gateway you have, remove the lid and take a look at the white label on the circuit board.

Calibration of the depth sensor

After installing the depth sensor in the tank, it should be calibrated to make optimal use of the monitoring.

Attention!

The tank must be fully filled to calibrate the depth sensor correctly. Is this not possible? Please contact us. The tank monitor sends its data every hour, wait until you are sure that this is the highest value.

Adjust the Tank100pct metadata and enter the 4-20mA value of a fully filled tank here. When you have changed your metadata, you can use the path tank_level, this path is percentage-wise.

Points of concern

The level sensor is calibrated using the metadata belonging to the asset. When you link multiple assets to the same gateway, the same metadata occurs multiple times. As a result, the portal will be confused which metadata to use, and the fuel level will not be calculated.

Caution!

Make sure that only one asset is linked to a gateway at all times. Failure to do so will result in missing data.
