Propane Inventory at a glance

With the Xact system, you can receive tank fill levels and alarm notices anytime-anywhere! E-mail alerts of critical fill levels sent to your desktop or phone.

The Xact tank monitoring system is comprised of three components

1. The ultrasonic sensor

The Xact patented sensor is externally mounted on the bottom of a propane tank. It sends an ultrasonic signal through the wall of the tank and reads the return echo from the surface of the liquid propane. Using an Xact high accuracy electronic device to capture the echo, the distance from the bottom of the tank to the surface of the liquid is calculated and accurately reported into the Xact system.

Xact provides accurate, reliable and secure data about your inventory.

Xact uses the Globalstar® Satellite network to relay information about your inventory around the globe.

2. The satellite radio transmitter

The Xact satellite radio transmitter works in combination with Xact's micro-controller and sensor. Using the Globalstar® satellite system the tank measurement level data is beamed to a satellite, relayed to a Globalstar® earth station, and then sent through the internet to the Xact Network Control Center and Xact website.

3. The Xact Network Control Center software

Globalstar® relays the information to an earth station and then onto the Xact Network Control Center.

The tank measured level data and the geometry of the propane tank are used to calculate the level of the propane in the tank and reported on the Xact website. The tank fill level can then be transmitted into your (ERP) system via the internet. E-mail alerts of critical tank fill levels can be sent to all personnel as needed by phone or computer.
