The Mopeka TD40 is designed for straightforward installation. Mounting the sensor to the tank top and pairing it with the Mopeka app typically requires only basic mechanical and smartphone proficiency. Detailed instructions and support resources are available to assist with the process.
Can the app interface be improved?
User feedback is continuously evaluated to enhance the Mopeka application. Future updates may introduce further customization options and interface refinements based on practical user experience, ensuring an increasingly intuitive data management platform.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Mopeka TD40 Cellular LTE sensor work?
The TD40 employs ultrasonic technology to measure the distance to the fluid surface within a tank. This measurement is then converted into a fluid level reading, which is transmitted wirelessly via cellular LTE to the Mopeka cloud platform for remote access.
What types of fluids can the Mopeka TD40 monitor?
This sensor is specifically designed for all non-pressurized fluids commonly found on vessels, including potable water, greywater, blackwater (waste), and various types of fuel, provided the tank is not under positive pressure.
What is the battery life of the Mopeka TD40 sensor?
The Mopeka TD40 boasts an impressive battery life of 4 to 6 years, powered by readily available and user-replaceable Energizer Lithium AA batteries.
Can I monitor my tank levels remotely with the Mopeka TD40?
Yes, the primary function of the TD40 is remote monitoring. Data is transmitted via cellular LTE and accessible through the Mopeka app on your smartphone, tablet, or computer from virtually anywhere.
What is the tank depth range for the Mopeka TD40 sensor?
The Mopeka TD40 is engineered to measure fluid levels in tanks with a vertical depth ranging from 4 feet up to a maximum of 20 feet.
