Aquatel D110 Wireless Tank Level Indicator
Suited for measuring almost any shape or size tank and cistern, the IC-D110 comes with everything needed to monitor your tank level remotely. (No wires or trenching required). The D110 tank level indicator can monitor non-explosive fluids such as water, septic, and diesel for up to 6 tanks at a time (when used with additional sensors). The unit employs a convenient frequency hopping technology to send collected information to the display up to 300 meters away (line of sight).
The D110 tank level indicator display has an easy-to-read blue backlit LCD screen and an assortment of useful features to widen the compatible applications.
A glance at the display unit shows signal strength, tank number selected, time, temperature, and, most importantly, the current tank level percentage. You can also view the system status as well as adjust tank/cistern depth, adjust update intervals between 1 to 30 minutes, and set high and low alarms.
Have a smart home? The IC-D110-S combines all of the impressive features and specifications listed above and has an RS232 plug for a quick interface with most PCs.
How the D110 Tank Level Indicator Works
For tank level measurements, the tank sensor unit is mounted either on the top surface of the tank or mounted inside the underground tank/cistern on the Stainless Mounting Bracket (sold separately).
The unit utilises ultrasonic signals to detect the tank level, then wirelessly transmits the collected information to the display unit.
Add ons
Aquatel understands that no two tank level measuring applications are the same. There are several add on units that you can employ to find the right solution for your unique use.
Extra sensors
Should more than one tank or cistern need to be monitored, you can have up to 6 tank units run off a single D110 display. Just add on IC-T110 Tank Sender Units for D110 (916-926Mhz).
Extra Range
The IC-AQ920-7 Antenna Booster Yagi 7 Element comes complete with a six-metre cable and RP-SMA connector. The antenna will boost the range up to 5km when used on one end or 10km when used on both ends.
Antenna Extension Leads
There are two lengths of custom made antenna extensions; these are 10.8 metres and 3.6 metres. These help to raise the antenna above the ground to avoid any obstacles in the direct line of sight.The higher above the ground, the better distance you will achieve between the Aquatel units. The kits include mounting brackets, 10.8 or 3.6m extension leads, screws and masonry plugs.
Mounting Bracket
Built from 316 marine grade stainless steel, the IC-AQSMB will withstand high levels of humidity, ensuring a long life. The bracket is when installing the sensor's tank mounting unit within either a riser or underground tank.
Conclusion
The D110 tank level indicator system is robust yet straightforward to use. Its range of options will allow you to monitor your tank or cistern and warn you should your supply run low. This benefit will ensure your pump never runs dry. The D110 and its range of add-on units mean you to set up a tank monitoring solution to suit your unique application.
