Apollo Ultrasonic Level Gauge For Oil Tanks

The Apollo Oil Gauge is the most reliable oil tank gauge on the market today. The Apollo uses a high-quality FM signal to send out tank readings to a receiver placed in your home or office. The Apollo is easy to install and can be ready for use within minutes. This Apollo is a universal tank gauge, meaning that it can be fitted to any size or shape of the tank up to 3 metres in height. The Apollo has an independent transmitter and receiver any transmitter can be re-coded with any receiver.

The Apollo shows levels of fuel in your tank as a 10 bar display on the receiver. The transmission range is 200m and the transmitter contains a tried and tested long life lithium battery. The Apollo transmitter is a totally sealed unit using UV stabilized material, therefore avoiding any problems associated with weathering.

The Apollo transmitter fits into a 20mm/32mm diameter hole on the top of the tank, or by using the plastic adaptor (optional) fits a standard 38mm (1.5″) gauge socket normally found in steel tanks. Suitable for use in tanks for the storage of diesel fuel, kerosene, and gas oil, Types A2, C1, C2, and D as defined by BS 2869. The Apollo meets EC and EMC regulations.
