The VisiTank® system is an elegant, economical solution
to a complex problem. The system begins with the Rocket™ ultrasonic
sensor mounted on one of the openings at the top of the tank. Once
per hour, the sensor measures the distance from the top of the tank
to the fuel surface in 0.4in (1cm) increments. The measurement is
transmitted wirelessly to the VisiTank® Smart Modem which can be
located anywhere in the home or facility within 150ft (46m) of the
tank.
The Modem stores the measurement and also monitors
the health of the system, such as battery life in the sensor. Periodically,
the Modem dials out to the Host PC
where all measurements are stored in an SQL database. The time interval
used for dial-out is set by the Host PC.
