Uvod
The Mopeka PRO+ Long Range Ultrasonic Wireless Propane Tank Monitor provides accurate, real-time propane level readings for residential and commercial tanks up to 2000 gallons. Utilizing advanced ultrasonic technology, this device wirelessly transmits tank level data via Bluetooth to your mobile device, offering convenience and peace of mind. This manual outlines the steps for setup, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting to ensure optimal performance of your Mopeka PRO+ sensor.
Setup
1. Prepare the Tank Surface
Ensure the bottom of your propane tank is clean and free of dirt, rust, or debris. A smooth, clean surface is crucial for accurate sensor readings. For tanks with a welding seam on the bottom, a Mopeka Seam Adapter (sold separately) may be required to ensure a secure and precise fit, and the most accurate reading.

2. Attach the Sensor
The Mopeka PRO+ sensor features integrated magnets for easy attachment. Place the sensor firmly onto the center of the underside of your tank. For non-magnetic tanks (e.g., aluminum), an optional adhesive mounting collar is available separately.

Real-time Level Monitoring
Once paired, the Mopeka Co-Pilot app will display the current propane level as a percentage. The sensor provides highly accurate readings, down to 0.01 of an inch, for various commodities and LPG tank sizes up to 2000 gallons.
Extended Range and Connectivity
The PRO+ sensor offers an RF signal range of up to 1000 feet. For extended range or remote monitoring, the sensor can be paired with a Mopeka Wi-Fi Bridge (sold separately). The Wi-Fi Bridge allows you to access tank data from anywhere via the Mopeka Co-Pilot app, by uploading sensor data to the cloud.
