Frequently Asked Questions
What types of tanks can the PulseWave TEK-920 monitor?
Plastic tanks up to 37mm wall thickness can be read non-invasively by mounting the sensor on top with the adhesive base adapter. Metal tanks need a 1" NPT bung port, where the sensor mounts directly with the NPT adapter. Suitable for diesel, AdBlue, water, oils, and most chemicals.
How does the Bluetooth output work?
The sensor broadcasts level and battery data over Bluetooth 5.0 BLE advertisements. Pair with the free Rochester Universal BLE app on Android or iOS to view current level, ambient temperature, battery state, and historical data. Range is typical for BLE - around 10m line of sight, less through obstructions.
Is the PulseWave certified for hazardous zones?
Yes. Carries ATEX Ex II 1G Ex ia IIA T3 Ga (intrinsically safe, zone 1) and North American Class 1, Division 1, Group D T3 certifications. UKCA Ex (UKEX) approved. Safe for use on petroleum, chemical, and fuel storage where intrinsic safety is required.
How long does the battery last?
Up to 12 years of typical operation on the non-replaceable lithium cell. Battery state is reported via the BLE app and can also be read from the local LCD. The battery is not user-serviceable - when it expires, the unit is replaced rather than rebatteried.
What measuring range and accuracy can I expect?
Measuring range up to 3m with 2mm resolution. Accuracy is ±2cm or ±1% of full scale across the recommended operating temperature (-25°C to +85°C). Wider accuracy (±5cm or ±2% FS) at extreme cold (-40°C to -25°C). Performance is unaffected by dust, pressure, or condensation in the tank.
What about warranty and support?
Manufacturer warranty applies. For application advice, hazardous zone certification queries, or bulk pricing, contact sales@ifuel.com.au or 07 3204 2240. Lead time is ex-Perth via GTS Gauges - typically 3-5 business days to most metro destinations.
