Propone Tank Level Monitor
General Description
The Wireless ALTA Propane Tank Level Monitor measures the propane level in a tank.
Key Features
Measurement Range: 0% - 100%
Levels below 8% displays as Empty
Levels above 80% displays as Full
Resolution: 1%
Principles of Operation
The ALTA Propane Tank Level Monitor measures the volumetric percentage of propane in a contained environment on a user-configurable time interval or Heartbeat. Inside the tank, a magnet attached to a buoyant float moves with the propane level. A mate gauge is attached to the outside of the magnetic level monitor. On every Heartbeat, the gauge monitor produces a voltage proportional to the sensed magnetic field. This monitor converts the sensed voltage into a percentage based on the volume of the container. This measurement is then sent to the gateway, making the data available in iMonnit or another approved data service.
