TinyPumper Submersible / Hydrostatic Pressure Tank Sensor Kit comes standard with:

TinyPumper works like a cellular modem for your production asset...

Essentially, the TinyPumper connects to the internet and the sensors around it connect to the TinyPumper via Bluetooth.

The two soft black strips on back of device are actually a pre-installed magnetic base.

These work really well when attaching to metal surfaces like tanks and wellheads 🧲

Thread zip ties through eyelets and attach the gateway to any handrail, equalizer line, pole, etc.

This sensor connects with TinyPumper up to 50 meters (150 feet) away.

Most sensors are battery-operated and batteries can be switched out just as easily as changing the batteries in your TV remote control 😉📺

Depending on the size of the open tank port, you may need a reducer fitting to match the 2” NPT tank fitting supplied with our sensor:

Pro Tip: hand tightening is all that’s required to install radar 🖐️

Pro Tip: ATF/Acetone mix, AeroKroil, Liquid Wrench, PB Blaster, Royal Purple or WD-40 to open seized-up tank ports 💪🏻

4. Insert the reducer with the sensor attached via locking cable gland into the tank opening and secure it with a pipe wrench.

Pro Tip: Be careful NOT to over-tighten the sensor cable gland – it could break!!

5. Once the 2” bushing is secure in the port, gently lower sensor into tank and lightly tap bottom of tank. After tapping tank bottom of tank with sensor, pull sensor up 12”-18” THEN tighten sensor cable gland with a pipe wrench.

Pro Tip 2: 👀 To prevent sediment from building up and damaging the sensor, sensor should ‘float’ 12 to 18 inches off the bottom of the tank. Of course, these sensors are built tough – however, keeping them off tank bottoms will extend sensor life and reduce maintenance 💪🏻

7. With the additional cable, simply coil it up and zip-tie it to the tank

So we can pair the proper Tank Sensor with each tank, please note:

Then, simply forward this to support@greasebook.com

Pro Tip: Once the sensor is installed, install the TinyPumper a maximum of 50m (150 feet) from the sensor (don’t worry... installing inside the berm is fine!) Positioning the TinyPumper closer to the sensor will yield better signal reliability and battery longevity 🔋📈

Step 5 – Calibration of Tank Sensor will happen over the next 3-4 days. So that the sensor can auto-calibrate, you must continue to add your daily tank gauges to the Greasebook app. The sooner you add your manual tank gauges to the Greasebook app, the sooner your Tank Sensor will calibrate itself.

That's it!

Because submersible tank sensors work off pressure, be sure to confirm that your tank vent is not clogged and that your tanks are holding no additional pressure.
​
If your tanks are pressurized or not allowed to breath, submersible pressure sensors are simply the wrong tool for the job.

It's possible that the ports on the bottom of the sensor are clogged and not allowing proper pressure on the sensor's diaphragm.

To clean the sensor, pull it from the tank and soak it in a hot bucket of water.

You can also remove the cap from the end of the sensor and expose the 1/4 " male threads and diaphragm and GENTLY clean it. Be careful not to poke anything in the cavity, but it's also helpful to soak and clean the sensor with the cap off.
