Is there a smart NB-IoT filling level gauge for heating oil, waste oil tanks or for rainwater cisterns?

/in ,

Regardless of a tank or container’s contents – be it heating oil, rainwater, lubricant, waste oil, industrial oil or AdBlue – it is always important to know its current filling level. But the standard, on-site level gauges are no longer sufficient as, more often than not, they are neither digital nor smart, and they lack features such as app-based monitoring on a mobile phone and/or office PC. The SmartBox 4 NB-IoT satisfies many requirements for a smart filling level gauge. Read more

A large proportion of the owners of fuel oil systems have already seen it, some people are familiar with the name, but most people aren’t familiar with how the limit indicator works. The safety fitting protects tanks from overfilling, thus also protecting their environment. The limit indicator works according to the principle of a temperature-dependent electrical PTC resistor – also known as PTC thermistor. Read more

How can I check the functionality of the limit indicator?

/in , ,

In principle, it eliminates the possibility of overfilling a fuel oil tank. First, the tank truck driver must determine the free capacity – for example, they can do this using the SmartBox®. Based on this value, the mineral oil retailer knows how many litres of fuel oil fit into the tank. If they have miscalculated or the filling level indicator is not displaying correctly, the limit indicator still provides protection. But how do you ensure that the limit indicator will definitely respond when it comes to it? Read more
