Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Mopeka Pro Check Sensor work?
The sensor utilizes ultrasonic waves to measure the distance to the surface of the LPG within the tank. By calculating the time it takes for the waves to bounce back, it accurately determines the fill level and transmits this data wirelessly.
What types of LPG tanks is this sensor compatible with?
This sensor is specifically designed for steel LPG tanks, including common DOT cylinders, and can be used on tanks ranging up to 1000 gallons in capacity, suitable for both horizontal and vertical orientations.
How is the LPG level read using the Mopeka Pro Check Sensor?
LPG levels can be read via the Mopeka Check App on a smartphone or tablet, or through a compatible Mopeka LED Display. For remote access, the Mopeka Wifi Bridge enables monitoring from virtually anywhere.
What is included in the Mopeka Pro Check Sensor package?
The package includes the Mopeka Pro Check Sensor itself, a CR2032 battery, and three essential tank spacers designed for 20, 30, and 40 LB DOT cylinders, facilitating proper fitment on these common tank sizes.
Can I read the LPG level remotely with this sensor?
Yes, the Mopeka Pro Check Sensor supports remote monitoring when paired with the Mopeka Wifi Bridge, allowing you to check your LPG levels from a distance via the Mopeka Check App.
