   Xact Small Tank Monitoring System

 

Xact System Overview 

Xact  Small  Tank  Monitoring  System  consists  of  two  parts:  the  Sensor and  Satellite  Box.    These 

parts are designed to be easily installed and configured for use by the end user.  During installation the 
system  is  located  in  place  on  the  tank  with  the  attached  magnets  and  is  secured  in  place  using  the 
supplied strap at the completion of installation. 

The 

Sensor

  is  mounted  on  the  bottom  centerline  of the  tank.    The  Sensor sends  an  ultrasonic 

signal through the wall of the tank and reads the return echo from the surface of the liquid in the tank.  
By  monitoring  the  time  of  flight  referenced  against  measured  tank  dimensions,  tank  fill  levels  are 
automatically calculated and displayed on the Xact Website. 

The 

Satellite Box

 is mounted to the top of the tank and sends the measurement data via satellite 

to  a  secure  customer  website.    The  measurement  data  includes:  time  and  date,  fill  level,  ambient 
temperature,  tank  capacity,  and  various  alarm  settings.    It  also  provides  access  to  the  system

s  user 

interface with the aid of the Xact Installation Software, allowing set up and configuration of the system 
on a specific tank.  Alarm levels can be set during the installation to notify the user of a refill needed, 
critical fill level, or a refilled event.  The battery is also conveniently located in this box.
