Metal Tank with BSP Port

Installation: Use IoT Pro BSP Adapter

Typical application: Horizontal, vertical, or cuboid metal tanks with a suitable BSP port, typically used to store diesel.

The required fittings for these installations can be ordered from the IoT Pro Product Selector, under IoT Pro Radar & Tilt Module > Radar & Tilt Module Accessories > Mechanical Adapter Selection.

Reducers can be provided for standard BSP threads to the IoT Pro BSP Adapter

Installation Requirements

  • IoT Pro Dashboard Mobile Application - ensure your account has been set up by following the Getting Started guide

  • IoT Pro Device Setup Mobile Application - see Downloads

  • IoT Pro BSP Adapter - see IoT Pro Product Selector, under Radar & Tilt Module Accessories > Mechanical Adapter Selection

Device Installation

  1. If the threaded attachment was not delivered pre-assembled, follow this guide to assemble it onto the device

  2. Screw the device's threaded attachment onto the BSP Port. Tighten securely, but do not apply excessive force.

  3. Activate the IoT Pro device according to the communication network being used:

    1. Activate the Device - Cellular

  4. Identify the tank shape and measure the required dimensions:

    1. Horizontal Cylinder: Diameter and Length

    2. Vertical Cylinder: Diameter and Height

    3. Cuboid: Length, Breadth and Height

    4. Custom: No measurements required. Use the calibration data provided by the tank supplier.

  5. Measure the chimney height, if applicable. The chimney is the protruding section above the main tank body (on which the device may be installed) and is not included in the tank's storage volume.

Platform Setup

  1. Open the IoT Pro Dashboard Mobile Application and log in

  2. Navigate to Assets and select Create Asset

  3. Under Asset Name & Device:

    1. Enter an Asset Name

    2. Select Application: 20_IOTPRO-RadarDistanceAirTilt

    3. Select Device: choose the device installed in the previous section

    4. Assign the asset to a group, if required

  4. Complete the Asset Information fields as required

  5. Under Asset Images, use Take Photo to capture the required photos of the completed installation

  6. Under Advanced Fields, configure the following:

    1. Bottom Offset (cm): 0

    2. Chimney Height (cm): enter the chimney height measured during installation, or 0 if no chimney is present

    3. Asset Shape: select the appropriate tank shape

      1. Horizontal Cylinder - enter the required dimensions.

      2. Vertical Cylinder - enter the required dimensions.

      3. Cuboid - enter the required dimensions.

      4. Custom - enter the tank calibration data as distance-to-fill values

  7. Open the IoT Pro Device Setup Mobile Application, reconnect to the installed device, and select Send Message to transmit a new reading

  8. Return to the IoT Pro Dashboard Mobile Application and navigate to Live Map

  9. Select the newly created asset and verify that the displayed fill percentage corresponds with the actual tank level
