For Steel Tanks
6. Clean the bottom of the tank of any debris, excess paint, and rust.
7. If your tank sits directly on the ground or other flat surface, then install the spacers to the bottom of the foot ring of your tank. This will provide adequate space and improved wireless range for the sensor.
8. The sensor mounts to the bottom center of the tank using magnets. The rubber pad between the magnets must make good contact with the tank, with no contaminants in between and must be aligned to the bottom center of the tank.
9. Apply a generous amount of the supplied sonic grease directly to the rubber pad before attaching sensor to the tank.
10. Install sensor on tank such that rubber pad is aligned with the bottom, center of tank.

14.1. Introduction
Mopeka Pro Check-Water and Pro Check-Sensor LPG support has been added to Venus OS. These ultrasonic sensors use BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy), a wireless technology that allows devices to be networked within a range of about 10 meters, while consuming significantly less power compared to ordinary Bluetooth technology.
The Mopeka Pro sensors feature ultrasonic sensing for water and LPG tanks in horizontal or vertical cylinders and mount to the bottom of those tanks by magnets. The liquid level, temperature and sensor battery voltage is streamed wirelessly to the GX device.
Note that the Cerbo GX & Cerbo-S GX built-in Bluetooth connection is disabled when the internal CPU temperature exceeds 53 degrees C (influenced by load and/or ambient temperature). For reliable operation it is necessary to use a USB Bluetooth adapter.
