FAQ
Is there a reason the default cylinder volumes are 8.5kg and 3.7kg, rather than 9kg and 4kg as these are the standard gas bottle sizes?
The filling of nominal 9kg bottles with 8.5kg of gas was a safety initiative of the Australian LPG industry. The same is true of 4kg bottles being filled with 3.7kg of gas.
Will SmartSense work with a 45kg gas cylinder?
It may not work on these larger bottles due to the thicker steel which is used in their construction.
Is the magnet strong enough to leave on a caravan gas bottle full time?
Yes, SmartSense is equipped with two super strong magnets holding the sensor in place on the gas bottle when travelling in a RV.
I cannot pair my new sensor with an app
SmartSense sensor is shipped in sleep mode to preserve battery life. Press the Sync button on the sensor at least 5 times to wake it up before it will be detected.
How long will the battery last?
One year on average depending on the operating temperatures. The battery will typically last longer in warmer environments.
Can I replace the battery?
Yes, you can. Using a small screwdriver, lift the lid which is held by the snap fit. Lift the board with electronics carefully and replace the battery. Place electronics board back into base. Pay attention to wire routing so that wires do not get pinched when lid is reassembled. Also check that the enclosure seal is properly seated into the base. Place the lid back and press to secure all four snap fits.
How does SmartSense measure gas bottle level?
SmartSense utilises ultrasonic technology and sends the signal to your smartphone via Bluetooth.
