Connecting sensor
Connect the supplied sensor correctly to the gateway.
- Pressure sensor: Ratiometric sensor

Activate batteries
Remove the strip to activate batteries.
2. Once inserted, the LED next to the GPS antenna should briefly flash. If it does not, it means that the unit has not yet been reset.
3. In this case, remove the batteries for about two minutes to drain any residual charge, then replace them.

Close housing
- Place the lid on the gateway and gently squeeze it shut. The foam in the lid will press against the batteries and hold them firmly in place when the unit is turned over.
- Tighten the 6 screws evenly. On initial assembly, the screws may be quite stiff.
Be sure to place the cover correctly. The foam should lie over the batteries. Fastening the cover on the wrong side will damage the gateway.

Installation
The gateway can be mounted with screws, bolts, cable ties or industrial adhesives to the object to be tracked.
Be careful when choosing a mounting point!
- Reduce the chance of accidental crushing or detachment.
- Increase gPS and cellular reception by mounting the gateway in a good location mounting. Also provide adequate ventilation.
When the gateway is used as a battery-powered device used, reception is critical to its performance.
Do not place the gateway under a steel cover plate to avoid reception problems.

After installation
1. After installing the gateway and the sensor in the tank, fill the tank completely.
2. Should no assets based on the tank have been created in this project, you will have to create these first.
3. You can also change the name of an existing asset, should the need arise.
To visualize the newly installed tank, add it to an asset group.
Adjust the metadata "Tank100pct" and enter the 4-20mA value here when the tank was fully refueled was.
Please note: The tank monitor sends its data every hour, wait until you are sure that this is the highest value.
When you have customized your metadata you can use the path "tank_level," this path is percentage based.
add assets Asset groups, customize asset metadata,, change asset name

Replacing batteries
We recommend Energizer Lithium batteries to get through cold periods smoothly.
If you want to replace the batteries and open the housing, make sure the silicone seal is in good condition before you close the housing again.
