VEGAPULS Air 41 Wireless Battery Radar Tank Level Sensor with Cloud Telemetry

VEGA VEGAPULS Air 41 Wireless Battery Radar Tank Level Sensor with Cloud Telemetry

The VEGAPULS Air 41 is a wireless, battery-powered radar tank level sensor designed for reliable remote monitoring of liquid storage tanks without the need for cabling or external power. Using advanced 80 GHz radar technology, the sensor delivers highly accurate non-contact level measurement and transmits tank data directly to the VEGA cloud platform, enabling real-time visibility of tank levels from anywhere.

Ideal for heating oil tanks, diesel storage tanks, mobile fuel bowsers, generator fuel systems, agricultural fuel tanks, and remote liquid storage installations, the VEGAPULS Air 41 combines precision radar measurement with integrated wireless communication and long-life battery operation to create a fully autonomous tank telemetry solution.

Non-Contact Radar Measurement Technology

Unlike float gauges or hydrostatic sensors, the VEGAPULS Air 41 measures the distance to the liquid surface using high-frequency radar waves, ensuring stable readings regardless of tank conditions.

Radar measurement offers several key advantages:

• Unaffected by vapours, condensation, or temperature changes
• No mechanical parts inside the tank
• High measurement accuracy
• Reliable operation in outdoor and industrial environments
• Suitable for a wide range of liquids

This makes the sensor particularly well suited for diesel, heating oil, kerosene, HVO, lubricants, water, and other stored liquids.

Because the measurement is completely non-contact, there is no risk of contamination or wear, ensuring long-term reliability with minimal maintenance.

Fully Wireless Tank Level Monitoring

The VEGAPULS Air 41 is designed for quick installation and completely wireless operation. The device features an integrated long-life lithium battery and transmits tank data using modern low-power mobile network technologies such as NB-IoT and LTE-M.

This allows the sensor to operate for multiple years without battery replacement, making it ideal for remote or difficult-to-access installations.

Typical installation locations include:

• Heating oil tanks at residential or commercial sites
• Diesel storage tanks
• Agricultural fuel storage
• Mobile fuel bowsers and transportable tanks
• Generator backup fuel systems
• Remote water or chemical storage tanks

Installation is typically as simple as mounting the sensor on the tank top connection, with no additional wiring or power supply required.

Cloud-Based Tank Telemetry with VEGA Inventory System

Measurement data from the VEGAPULS Air 41 is transmitted automatically to the VEGA Inventory System (VIS) cloud platform. This enables users to monitor tank levels, volumes, and inventory status remotely through an online dashboard or mobile device.

The platform provides a centralised overview of all connected tanks across multiple sites, making it ideal for organisations managing distributed fuel storage.

Key telemetry features include:

• Real-time tank level and volume monitoring
• Secure cloud-based data storage
• Automatic measurement transmission
• Multi-site tank management
• Historical data and trend analysis
• Low-level alerts and refill notifications
• Remote device configuration

Users can access the system through any web browser or compatible mobile interface, providing full visibility of tank inventory without visiting the site.

VEGA Inventory System (VIS) Platform Features

The VEGA Inventory System is designed to support efficient fuel and liquid inventory management across multiple locations.

Through the cloud dashboard, users can:

• View live tank levels and calculated volumes
• Configure alarm thresholds and notifications
• Track historical consumption and usage trends
• Monitor multiple tanks across different sites
• Plan fuel deliveries and refills more efficiently

The platform significantly reduces the need for manual tank dipping or site inspections, improving operational efficiency and helping prevent unexpected tank run-outs.

For fuel distributors and logistics operators, this enables optimised delivery planning and improved stock control.

Subscription Options for Cloud Connectivity

To access cloud-based monitoring features, the VEGAPULS Air 41 operates with a subscription service that includes mobile data connectivity and access to the VEGA Inventory System platform.

Typical subscription packages include:
