Single Tank Monitoring

Are you tired of the hassle and cost of frequent tank level monitoring system maintenance? Imagine a solution that offers seamless, long-term monitoring of your tanks, all while being powered by a battery that lasts 7-10 years. Welcome to the future of tank monitoring!

The Power of Long-lasting Battery Operation

Imagine installing a tank level monitoring system and not having to think about changing the batteries for up to 10 years. This is not science fiction; it's a reality today. Our advanced technology ensures that your monitoring system will keep running efficiently, even in remote or hard-to-reach locations. Say goodbye to the hassle of frequent battery replacements and hello to a worry-free monitoring experience.

Hybrid Communications for Uninterrupted Data

One of the key challenges in tank monitoring is maintaining a constant connection to your data. Our hybrid communications solution combines the reliability of both cellular and satellite networks. This means that no matter where your tanks are located, you'll always have access to real-time data. Cellular connectivity keeps you in the loop for everyday monitoring, while satellite communication ensures uninterrupted data flow in remote areas or during cellular network outages.

Benefits for Different Industries

  • Agriculture: Monitor water levels in irrigation tanks and ensure crops receive the right amount of water, even in remote fields

  • Oil and Gas: Keep a close eye on fuel storage tanks, preventing costly leaks or shortages.

  • Utilities: Monitor water treatment plants and storage tanks efficiently, preventing service interruptions.

  • Environmental: Ensure compliance with environmental regulations by monitoring hazardous material storage tanks with precision.

User-friendly Interface

Our tank level monitoring system comes with a user-friendly interface that allows you to access data from anywhere, at any time. Receive alerts and reports directly to your computer or mobile device, enabling you to make informed decisions promptly.

Rugged Telemetry offers four products in our TiQ.200 series of singletank monitoring systems. Each of these products offers unique utility,so there is sure to be a product that fits your priorities.

TiQ.200

The TiQ.200 is compatible with the Keller high precision, low powerModbus pressure transducers. This unit in the series is designed for ahigh level of granularity across large spans. Mounting options includesubmersible, 1/4” NPT, and 1/2” NPT with a large diaphragm forviscous liquids.

TiQ.210

The TiQ.210 is a line of low-power serial ultrasonic sensors that aredesigned to be free mounted for open area measurements. Oneexample of where this scenario may come up would be under abridge. The TiQ.210 can be used to get the distance from the water oran open tank.

TiQ.215

The TiQ.215 series is our most versatile product, as it can interfacewith any analog sensor from any manufacturer. The TiQ.215 seriesalso has a sensor interface box that offers a IS Barrier for intrinsicallysafe installation.

TiQ.220

The TiQ.220 series of single tank monitoring solutions are compatible with the VEGA line of Modbus sensors. This series is ideal for applications that require multiple data points or utilize the digital output of the sensor.

TiQDISPLAY

Our TiQDISPLAY is the perfect accessory for all TiQ.200 series models. Battery-powered and re-charged from a Telematics Control Unit, it is typically programmed with a Display Programmer and JAVA application to show liquid levels and volume.  

This application allows you to select multiple parameters, including level, square inches, centimeters, feet, volume, square liters, gallons, and more. Gone are the days of technicians climbing on top of tanks with a dipstick and the insurance claims that follow.

TiQBRACKET

The TiQBRACKET is an optional mounting bracket made of steel and powder, covered in an industrial outdoor coating to resist rust. The bracket can secure both the Telematics Control Unit and Sensor Box and can be magnetically mounted to the tank or secured with VHB.
