FAQ
What does SunGene need before quoting Tank Level Sensor Mounting Options?
For a quotation, send these details: Tank photos and dimensions; Mounting location; Liquid type and surface condition; Required accuracy and network path. We use them to select sensors, gateways, power and the data connection.
When is top-mounted level sensing practical?
Check access above the tank and a clear path to the surface. The selected sensor must suit the mounting opening, measuring distance and surface conditions, including any foam, vapour or internal obstruction.
What if there is no suitable opening above the tank?
Review an immersed probe or another measurement arrangement with the tank owner. Liquid compatibility, access for cleaning, cable routing and pressure conditions need to be checked before choosing hardware.
What should I check before selecting equipment?
Record these site details: Tank height and dead zone; Obstacle clearance; Liquid surface condition. Check the sensor output, receiving input, power supply and installation conditions together. Confirm any required approvals for the exact model and destination.
