Pro Check Sensor - Wireless Propane Tank Magnetic Sensor Level Indicator - Propane Gas Tank Pressure Gauge Electronic for BBQ Grill - Remote Ready Propane, Butane and Fuel Level Gauge with App

These Mopeka sensors work well and add a new level of convenience to monitoring propane levels. There was a period where this new Universal model was incompatible with the Victron Cerbo GX, but I am happy to report that this situation has been resolved. I can check the levels using the Mopeka app; and they now show up on the Cerbo as well. How far we've come from having to pop open the propane compartment and look at a gauge that may or may not be accurate. A few installation tips: — The process is very easy; however, you will be asked to position the sensor so its position appears inside a little circle that shows in the Mopeka app. I've never seen anyone successfully do this, either in person or in a YouTube video. It seems like the best one can expect is for the position indicator to be touching the little circle. Don't sweat this. Everything will still work. I ended up using a ruler to position the sensor. — My least favorite thing about this product is the fact that there is nothing to hold it in the spot that you've so carefully measured out. The sensor has pretty powerful magnets to hold it to the tank, but once you lube it up with dielectric grease it will slide around on the tank's surface. Annoying. Mopeka does offer a collar that can be stuck on the bottom of your LPG tank with 3M VHB tape to lock the sensor into position. This is what I have done. (The company makes two different collars. Make sure you get the one for LPG tanks.) — These sensors come with three little aluminum spacers designed to clip to the bottom of your tank in order to provide extra clearance. You may or may not need them. I did. These spacers can come loose. I would suggest using an adhesive/sealant to lock them in place. Also, these will definitely scratch up whatever the tank is sitting on. — For those needing spacers but not wanting to scratch up their propane tank compartment, Mopeka offers the "Halo", a plastic ring that goes on the bottom of your tank. These will also need to be attached with an adhesive/sealant if you want them to stay on. Unfortunately, these Halos offer less additional clearance compared to the free aluminum spacers. If you choose to use the collar I mentioned earlier, the Halos probably won't work for you. They didn't for me. Seems like this is something that Mopeka should have been able to anticipate. — Keep in mind that these spacers protect your Pro Check sensor when it's sitting on a flat surface. The teenage kid filling your tank can still set the tank down on an uneven surface or a rock and crush it. And if this kid drags the tank on the ground and knocks off one of the spacers, the sensor could get damaged on a flat surface. Bottom line: pay attention when someone else is handling your LPG tank. I'm tempted to deduct a star due to the incompatibility between the Mopeka Halos and the collars but this is a review of the sensor itself, so I won't. These sensors are game changers. I love them and I recommend these as the best solution for anyone with a propane tank they want to monitor. Five stars.

This was easy to set-up using the app and has good range using Bluetooth. I tried it on 3 different 20lb cylinders of known quantity of LPG and it read them all accurately. It sticks to the bottom fairly well, but they are rounded so it takes a few seconds to center the sensor. For my use they adhere well enough. I would not be so liberal with the grease, it only needs a dab on the sensor. This should help with movement once centered. As for replacement Mopeka grease you can buy some here on Amazon, or any silicone dielectric grease works perfect. It is the same. I am overall very pleased with this device. It is not cheap, but it's accurate and does the job well. I wasted a lot of money on inaccurate inline gauges and a scale device. The scale does work, but requires disconnection and lifting of the cylinder, and can't give you a real-time reading. Now I know at a glance where I stand gas wise.

Just installed so I’ll update if anything negative happens, but so far, it seems accurate. During a recent snow storm that blanketed our area in ice, we got down to about 10% and had to call out our propane company. A small path had to be cleared to get to the tank and with the sleet coming down try and get a clear photo. Needless to say, it was cold! I looked to see if there was a wireless reader, maybe something inline with the manual dial, that could be used to look at levels from the comfort of a dry and warm room, and found this. I got it in 2 days before this review and made sure I knew what needed to be done for the install and it was easy. The bottom of my tank was dirty so I used cleaning wipes to get the area clean enough to install. You have to liberally apply the dielectric grease on the sensor and then place it. That’s it! As you can see from the photos, it is about a 3” circle. Before placing it how the sensor is read, but not connected yet. The manual dial showing just above 60% and then the app showing the same. It is working on a 500 gallon tank and I anticipate it’ll be safe, as it’s only magnets on the outside, and barring the battery being outside in extreme temps, I anticipate it’ll last quite a while.

These work great and I would highly recommend them. The only reason I’m only giving them 4 stars is you need to use the included spacer feet (see picture) so the tank doesn’t sit on the sensor. At least I did on my tanks. I use them in my truck camper and the compartment leaves little room for anything else (see picture). The spacer feet only raise the tanks a half inch or so but that was enough for me to have to adjust the clamping mechanism. Not a big deal but something to keep in mind if your tank fits into a small space. Knowing that, I would still buy them again.

This Mopeka Pro propane tank sensor is an absolute game-changer for my off-grid camper! The setup was incredibly easy and took just a couple of minutes. I love being able to check my propane levels right from my phone without ever stepping outside, which is a lifesaver during cold winter months. It's so accurate and reliable, giving me total peace of mind knowing I won't unexpectedly run out of fuel. I seriously can't imagine camping without it now! If you rely on propane, you definitely need one of these.

I am impressed with how well these things work. Far better than a pressure gauge. Even if they are only five percent accurate, they are worlds better than pressure. The setup is easy except for having to press the button to start syncing and trying to get it leveled according to the app. It takes a few tries. I was pleasantly surprised to see that these automatically connected to my Victron Cerbo GX, so I don’t even have to use the app.

Muy difícil de usar

Amazing piece of kit, as soon as we put it on the bottom of the tank and linked to the app we got a reading that we had 30% of gas left in the bottle which there are no other devices that are sold that do this

Unless you have serious age or handicap issues, this product for an RV is just a very nice gadget. The propane tanks on almost all RVs will do quite nicely with a much cheaper gauge installed where your propane hose connects to the tank. For a home or condo installation where the primary use is in winter for a fireplace or heating, it's quite another story.. When the cold and the snow piles up and your tank is accessible enough for deliveries but really inconvenient for regular monitoring of the fuel level . This unit can make your life dramatically easier..Here in Quebec there are thousands of tanks against the outside walls of homes and multistory condos. While the tanks need to be accessible enough for deliveries, most are a significant inconvenience to read the in-tank gauge on a regular basis. Being able to read the tank level from inside in winter weather is worth double the price of these units. HOWEVER, they have a major drawback. Battery life. Yes they have greatly improved it since I bought my first one, but cold weather kills even the best battery . You'll be very lucky if the 3vdc CR2032 battery in the unit makes it through the winter. (I went through a number of winter failures.) There is a solution which Mopeka has refused to adopt. I soldered a two wire line (AWG20) to the battery terminals, ran the wire out the unit vent hole, through my house wall and inside where I attached two 1.5v batteries in series in a holder (3vdc). The indoor battery pack is in parallel with the 2032 battery in the unit. . This keeps the unit running for years even in -40 temps . If the batteries ever do fail, it is a piece of cake to replace them INSIDE, without diving under the snow in freezing weather. With this arrangement I consider this product indispensable. I even bought a spare just in case, although my present unit has lasted many winters already. If you would like to do a similar setup. Popping the cover off to replace the battery is simple, a small flat screwdriver in the slots will do the trick but be careful soldering the wires to the battery terminals. Remove the battery first. It will act as a heat sink requiring more solder heat and possibly damaging the unit. Also it could explode when applying the solder heat. Before attempting the solder joint, make sure your soldering iron is at full heat and will instantly melt the solder when applied to the wire and contacts. The heat should be for only for five or so seconds or you can damage the circuitry. Good luck and let your cell phone check your tank in the next blizzard.

Funktioniert auch mit Victron Panel. Super zufrieden
