Introducció
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.

Configuració
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.
