Lippert BottleCheck Sensor Instructions
Smart Device/App Users
- Go to your app store. Search for the OneControl Bluetooth app and install it.
- Launch the app. When it starts, it will begin searching for BottleCheck sensors.
- Press and hold the sync button on the sensor until it appears in the app (up to 10 seconds). The sensor has a top surface with two circular indentations; one is the 'SYNC' button (rubber, makes a clicking sound when pressed) and the other is the 'VENT' opening. Do not mistake the vent for the sync button.
- The sensor is now synchronized. You may now proceed to installing the sensor on the tank.
Install Sensor on Tank
- Clean the bottom of the tank of any debris, excess paint, and rust.
- If your tank sits directly on the ground or another flat surface, you will need to install the spacers to the bottom of the foot ring of your tank. The tank foot ring is a circular base with multiple slots around its perimeter where the spacers are inserted. This provides adequate space and improved wireless range for the sensor.
- The sensor mounts to the bottom center of the tank using magnets. The sensor's base has two prominent magnets and a central rubber pad. You MUST apply a pea-sized amount of sonic grease to the rubber pad before installation. 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.
- Return the tank to the upright position. Check that the tank is on a level and flat surface or otherwise is level with the ground. Even a slight tilt can degrade the quality of the measurement. Within the app, there is a leveling tool that communicates with the sensor to indicate when the sensor is level.
- After a few seconds, up to a few minutes, the propane will settle, and the readings will stabilize.
App Functions
- Clicking on a sensor in the main list takes you to the sensor's own screen.
- Click on the settings icon to change tank size, rename the sensor, or change other display settings.
Note! Be sure to change the tank size setting to match your tank.
Horizontal & Other Size Tanks
- If installing on a horizontal tank, place the sensor on the center, bottom of the tank, with the rubber pad and magnets aligned against the tank. The sensor should be positioned on the curved surface of the tank, with its magnetic base conforming to the tank's curvature. Apply a pea-sized amount of sonic grease to the rubber pad before installation. Magnets must be in line with the tank. Use the tool within the app to level the sensor. The sensor must be level to operate properly.
- Open Settings from the LP Sensor's home page in the App. For tanks not in the list, select the appropriate arbitrary setting. Measure your horizontal cylinder from top to bottom (the tank diameter). Enter the measurement in inches into the arbitrary setting and click OK.
- The sensor will now be reading your cylinder in % full correctly. Use the same steps for any size of cylinder that is not listed under the tank type on the app.
