Mopeka Pro Check tank sensors

A Mopeka sensor sticks to the underside of a gas bottle or tank and measures how deep the liquid is above it. Sensa reads it through a Sensa Bluetooth Proxy and shows the level as a dial on the Home screen, once it knows what the sensor is fitted to.

Mopeka Pro Check tank sensors

Sensa Connection Method​

Bluetooth.

Installation​

Stick the sensor to the underside of the gas bottle or tank, within Bluetooth range of a Sensa Bluetooth Proxy. A TD40 or TD200 fits on top of the tank instead.

Configuration​

Nothing to set on the sensor itself. It uses Bluetooth, so add a Sensa Bluetooth Proxy within reach of the tank first.

Adding to Sensa Nomad​

Once it is in range of a Bluetooth proxy, Sensa finds it on its own. Open Settings, choose the Devices tab, tick it under Discovered and press Add Selected Devices. If it is not there yet, press Scan. Then set it up as below.

See Adding devices for more.

Setting it up in Sensa​

After adding it, open Settings, choose the Devices tab and tap the cog at the end of the Mopeka's row. Until you have set it up, the row reads Not Configured and no dial appears.

  • Contents: what the tank holds, such as LPG, Diesel, Petrol, Fresh Water, Grey Water or Black Water. A new Mopeka starts on LPG. Set this first: the reading depends on the liquid.
  • Tank Shape: for LPG, the size of your bottle. For diesel or water, a Flat-sided tank or a Round tank, on its side.
  • Tank Height: for a flat-sided tank, its inside height; for a round tank, its diameter, in millimetres.
  • Tank is full now: press this once, when a tank is full, and Sensa uses that reading to correct every Mopeka holding the same liquid.
  • Tank Capacity: for diesel, how many litres the tank holds, so Sensa can work out how many days of diesel you have left.

Sensors that fit on top of the tank​

A Mopeka TD40 or TD200 sits on top of the tank and measures down to the liquid instead. Set it up the same way, with two differences:

  • Tank Height is measured from the sensor down to the bottom of the tank.
  • It needs no Tank is full now: set the Tank Height and the reading is right.
