The system consists of a measuring device and an app for smartphone or tablet. The measuring device is placed under the gas cylinder. Thanks to the flexibly extendable feet, the Senso4s PLUS is adapted to the appropriate size of the gas cylinder. With the system, gas cylinders with a diameter of between 18 and 32 centimetres can be monitored \u2013 for example gas cylinders with a filling weight of 5, 8 or 11 kilograms.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Senso4s PLUS level indicator for gas cylinders - digital and smart gas consumption at a glance\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kReCUEK78jA?list=PL07k85Qz2IkhUsay3NJhiaJ-NeFPQh5eu\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_can_I_use_the_Senso4s_PLUS\"><\/span>Where can I use the Senso4s PLUS?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The following fields of application are recommended:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Caravanning<\/strong>: Motor caravan, caravan \u2013 can also be used while driving!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hospitality<\/strong> (EX protection zone 2): Gas stoves, outdoor heaters, heaters, gas barbecues etc.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Barbecue &amp; BBQ<\/strong>: Gas barbecues<\/li>\n<li><strong>Household<\/strong>: Gas stoves, gas-fired boilers, heaters, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"en_beitrag_box\">\n<p><span class=\"en_like_h3\">You might also be interested in<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Discover more helpful content on this topic.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#weiterfuehrend\">See related posts<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New_Reworked_support_feet\"><\/span>New: Reworked support feet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The most significant visual difference to the previous version is that the Senso4s PLUS has <strong>green feet instead of blue feet<\/strong>.

This means that the device may also be in <strong>potentially explosive zone 2 areas<\/strong> \u2013 for example in the gas cylinder case of motor caravans or caravans.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to this certification, campers can <strong>permanently leave the gas scale in the gas cylinder case<\/strong> below the gas cylinder \u2013 even while driving. Of course, this is, in some cases, high stress for the device when physical forces are applied while driving. Therefore, product development has significantly increased the stability of the support feet.<\/p>\n<p><a ref=\"magnificPopup\" href=\"https:\/\/b15asa3.myrdbx.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Senso4s-PLUS-Speziell-fuer-Campingfahrzeuge.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9324\" src=\"https:\/\/b15asa3.myrdbx.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Senso4s-PLUS-Speziell-fuer-Campingfahrzeuge.jpg\" alt=\"Der Senso4s PLUS ist speziell fr\u00fc Campingfahrzeuge geeignet.\" width=\"900\" height=\"522\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gok-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Senso4s-PLUS-Speziell-fuer-Campingfahrzeuge.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.gok-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Senso4s-PLUS-Speziell-fuer-Campingfahrzeuge-300x174.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gok-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Senso4s-PLUS-Speziell-fuer-Campingfahrzeuge-768x445.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gok-blog.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Senso4s-PLUS-Speziell-fuer-Campingfahrzeuge-705x409.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New_Three_integrated_sensors\"><\/span>New: Three integrated sensors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When campers with motor caravans or caravans are on the move, there are various scenarios which could possibly produce false measurements.
