Monitor Installation Checklist

1. Check to see if the location has a Verizon LTE connection

• You can use OpenSignal or RootMetrics (http://webcoveragemap.rootmetrics.com/en-US) to help determine the connectivity in the area prior to sending a technician. We recommend looking at this data as a guide and not as 100% truth
• If you have a Verizon phone, you can check to see if Verizon LTE is available while on site 

2. Ensure the dial installed is Remote Ready, R3D

BEST PRACTICE : The type of dial should match the orientation of the tank

• Above ground horizontal tank: Tabbed Junior, Tabbed Senior, Drop In 5% & 30%, Snap On
• Above ground vertical tank: Tabbed Junior, Tabbed Senior, Drop In Type A, Snap On
• Below ground Horizontal tank: Tabbed Junior, Tabbed Senior, Drop In 5% & 30%, Snap On

3. Connect sensor (boot) to the dial

BEST PRACTICE: Move the activation magnet at least ½ way down from the sensor foot and dial. The magnet can impact the readings you receive from the monitor

BEST PRACTICE: When connecting the boot to the dial, make sure it sits flush and you hear a “click” noise

4. Position Monitor on Tank

Place the monitor in a place where it is least obstructed. 

• Horizontal Above: Mount on the top of the tank
• Horizontal Below: Mount above tank dome
  • On plastic domes, you can mount underneath with the assistance of a magnetic mounting bracket
• Vertical: Mount on the side of the tank (as seen in image)

BEST PRACTICE: Mount the monitor with the logo upright so the Tank Utility logo is facing an open area.

BEST PRACTICE: When mounting, make sure you form a drip loop so water wicks away from the monitor

5. Activate Monitor

Hold Activation magnet to Activation pad, for about 3 seconds and release when the first LED light flashes

BEST PRACTICE: Always activate the monitor on the tank

BEST PRACTICE: Prior to leaving, wait until all 3 LEDs turn solid aqua blue. This means the monitor sent a successful transmission.

 If the monitor shows the center LED as red, this means the monitor did not connect. Reposition on tank and reattempt. After 2 unsuccessful tries, it’s likely not a good location for the monitor to be deployed.  (See step 1)
