STAR-Tank User Manual

Safiery STAR-Tank On / Off, Sampling Rate and Approvals To turn STAR-Tank off, press and hold button. The surrounding LED will be solid green for approx. 10secs. Keep holding until it turns solid red, then release finger and it turns off. When turned back on, follow the guide above to re-initiate the startup routine. The normal sampling interval for the long battery life is 60 seconds. Pressing the black button for 1-2 seconds will change the sampling time to 10 seconds for up to 10 minutes. Then the sampling reverts to 60 seconds. Many tank level sensors use averaging to smooth out signal results. We cannot do this with STAR-Tank as it would consume too much battery power. Every reading is a one shot result. The implications of this is that occasionally, you may see a flickering of value for 1 cycle.

In future developments on the Victron side, the temperature value may be used to trigger the temperature relay function on the GX device with relays to initiate stirrers or heaters in tanks as well as notification of this.

To connect STAR-Tank sensors to the GX device via Bluetooth, the GX device needs Bluetooth functionality. Although GX products already have built-in Bluetooth, this internal function may be disabled if the processor gets too hot. Safiery recommends installing a Nano USB Bluetooth adapter from the list below.

This radar tank level sensor is approved with FCC for USA. It is compliant with European commission radio equipment directive 2014/53/EU article 3.1 and 3.2. and is CE and UKCA approved.
