    Tank Level Monitoring

    Application: Monitor levels inside storage tanks

    Challenges: Multiple storage tanks in remote and hard-to-reach locations

    Solution: K50U Ultrasonic Sensors and Q45U Wireless Nodes paired with a DXM Wireless Controller

    Benefits: Remote monitoring of up to 16 tanks from a central or mobile location

    Description

    Using K50U Ultrasonic Sensors and Q45U Wireless Nodes paired to a DXM Wireless Controller, we can develop a wireless monitoring system for multiple tank level measurements that is easy to set up, interpret the results, and monitor locally and through a cloud-based system. The temperature-compensated system can report and send alarms on user-specified levels locally via outputs to lights and relays, or via emails and text messages using a single K50U sensor per tank. Information can be sent to the cloud using either the internal cellular module or by connecting to the local area network (LAN) with an Ethernet cable directly to the DXM Wireless Controller.

    Features and Benefits

    Wireless Tank Level Monitoring  Wirelessly monitor up to 16 tank levels from a central location
    Low Level Alerts 
    Generate two user-specified low level alerts (low and/or low low) for a tank in an emptying application
    High Level Alerts 
    Generate two user-specified high level alerts (high and/or high high) for a tank in a filling application
    Local Indication Lights 
    Local alert indication via LEDs on the DXM Controller and the ability to enable lights on theQ45s for local indication of alert status 
    SMS Text/Email Alerts 
    Generate SMS text and/or email alerts
    Cloud Monitoring 
    Push data to Cloud webserver or PLC (via LAN or cellular)
