Rocket® Wireless Tank Gauge Operation

 

  • The transmitter is mounted in an available opening in the tank and uses ultrasonic technology to measure the fuel level
  • The Receiver plugs directly into a 120V outlet located in a convenient place in your home – usually the kitchen
  • The LCD display on the Receiver displays the oil level as “bars”, where each bar represents approximately 10% of the tank’s capacity
  • When the level goes below 20%, the fuel oil Nozzle “icon” appears in the LCD display, indicating that it is time to call for fuel delivery
    • Note: if you have an “automatic delivery” contract with your oil dealer, you should wait until the level drops to about 10% before alerting the dealer to your oil level status
  • When the oil level drops below 10% of the tank’s capacity, the red LED will begin flashing continuously and an audible signal will sound once every hour. Call your oil company immediately to schedule a delivery. These warning signals will continue until the first measurement is made following an oil delivery (this could take up to one hour after the delivery).
