Tank Monitor Sensor Installation Tips:
1. Sensors have an accuracy of +/- 3”
2. Sensor should be installed on the outside of the tank, as close to the bottom of the tank as
possible, but not below the bottom of the tank. (typical locations would be just after the
output flange, or T’ed into the bottom of the sight tube) The sensor will not be able to
read any changes in level below the sensor.
3. You must install a ball valve in-line before the tank monitor sensor in case of any sensor
leak or failure that would require the removal/replacement of the sensor.
4. Tank Monitor sensors should not be used in clumpy/sludge/sewage/manure liquids due to
the possibility of clogging the sensor opening with course/foreign matter.
5. When using multiple tank monitor sensors, most installs will have a max of 2 sensors.
The two sensors should be installed in adjacent tanks, with the Crop Link mounted
between those two tanks, positioned for the best view of the sun for the most amount of
hours. (if using a solar panel) - One mounting style is a 55 gallon barrel (plastic or steel)
filled with dirt/gravel, with a tee post installed into the dirt/gravel, then use a beam clamp
to attach the unit directly to the tee post. –the other method of mounting would be any
metal bracket built by the user that allows the cables to reach the Crop Link and gives the
solar panel the most amount of sunlight possible (if using a solar panel)
6. Caution - This transducer, while resembling our water pressure
transducer, should NOT be used on a pivot. Doing so could result in the
sensor being permanently damaged.
Remember to Configure the Tank Monitor Sensor on the AgSense
Website when installation is complete.
