Remote tank monitoring uses a level sensor to measure the contents of a tank and transmit the data to a remote monitoring system. Depending on the application, ultrasonic, radar or pressure-based sensors can be used. The data can be accessed remotely and used to generate alerts when tank levels change or reach defined thresholds.

Remote tank monitoring provides earlier visibility of changing tank levels and reduces reliance on manual inspections or scheduled site visits. It can help operators improve replenishment planning, reduce unnecessary travel, monitor multiple tanks across different locations and identify low-level conditions before they become operational problems.

Yes. Remote monitoring systems from Rochester Sensors Europe can use configurable alarm thresholds based on the requirements of the application. Alerts can be set around critical stock levels, typical consumption patterns or other operational requirements, allowing operators to receive notifications when action is required.

Remote tank monitoring can be used across a wide range of applications involving stored liquids, including fuel, LPG, chemicals, water, wastewater, lubricants and agricultural liquids. The appropriate monitoring technology depends on the tank, liquid characteristics, measurement range, environmental conditions and installation requirements.

Yes. Remote monitoring systems can provide visibility across multiple tanks and locations, allowing operators to monitor tank levels centrally. Automated alerts can identify individual tanks that require attention, helping operators prioritise replenishment and maintenance activities.

Intrinsically safe equipment is specifically designed for hazardous environments where
safety is critical. For fuel distributors, propane marketers, and industrial operators, intrinsically safe
monitoring provides confidence that remote level measurements can be collected without introducing ignition risks.

The Rochester Sensors Europe TEK 822 Cellular Propane ATEX/Exi monitor is a battery-powered, intrinsically safe remote tank monitoring solution certified to UL 913 Class I
Division 1 Zone 0 and ATEX standards. It is designed for continuous level monitoring in
propane, LPG, gasoline, petrol, refined fuels, chemicals, and other hazardous liquid storage applications.

An intrinsically safe tank level sensor should be certified to recognised hazardous-area safety standards, including ATEX, IECEx, and, where required, UL/CSA approvals. For the highest level of protection, look for Ex ia intrinsic safety certification and Zone 0 / EPL Ga approval, which permit continuous operation in the most hazardous environments where explosive atmospheres may be present.

Rochester Sensors Europe provides tank level sensing and monitoring solutions certified to these internationally recognised standards, including ATEX, IECEx, UKCA Ex, and UL Class I Division 1 / Zone 0 approvals. These certifications demonstrate compliance with the highest intrinsic safety requirements for hazardous-area applications.
