Set Up a New R3L LTE / Cellular Sensor
Installation and setup guide for R3 LTE Sensors
1) Add a new TankMate R3L sensor to your account
Download the TankMate app from your app store
Create a new account with one of the "Sign Up" options
In the app, select R3 - on the "Add New Sensor" screen
Scan the QR code - located under the base of the sensor
A success message will be displayed in the app
2) Activate the sensor
Hold the RESET button underneath the unit for 6+ seconds
After releasing, the sensor will beep twice
The status LED will blink GREEN while it searches for a network. This can take up to a minute
Once the sensor connects to a cellular network, it will blink light BLUE (cyan), and then become a solid BLUE (cyan) colour for a few seconds
Some audible beeps will also be heard at this point
If the status LED blinks RED after a minute, the sensor has failed to connect to a callular network
If you swipe down to refresh the dashboard (main) screen of the app, you can see the last reading date / time - to confirm that data has been sent from the sensor
3) Drill a hole in the tank
4) Set your tank dimensions
5) Take an initial level reading on the tank
With the rubber gasket and lens in place, press the READ button once on the underside of the sensor
Check that the sensor has a network connection (look for BLUE LED, as above)
When the sensor starts beeping and blinking ORANGE, place the sensor on the tank. Hold it in place for now. There is a 10 second countdown / delay before the reading is taken
In the app, swipe down to refresh the dashboard (main) screen of the app. You should see the last reading date / time update - to confirm that data has been sent from the sensor. The tank level and fill percentage should also update.
