For several years, I have successfully used a Truma LevelControl gas monitoring unit. For those who haven’t come across them, the LevelControl attaches magnetically to the underside of the cylinder, measures the contents in the bottle and then transmits the data to your phone via Bluetooth. The device fits within the bottom rim of the bottle and is suitable for all sizes of steel containers.
Unfortunately, while the Level-Control has worked perfectly, the same can’t be said for this particular operator! Although Truma supplies a magnetic warning label, which you attach to the side of the bottle to remind you the LevelControl has been fitted, that only works if the operator remembers to fix it to the bottle.
Guess who’s changed cylinders a couple of times (swapping an empty one for a full one), only to get home and remember that the old bottle still has the LevelControl attached?
Standing on its own feet
So I was keen to try out another similar device, manufactured by German firm GOK, specialists in products for use with LPG.
The first thing to note with the Senso4s Plus is that gas bottles sit on its three extending feet, rather than it being attached to the underside of the cylinder. You extend each of the feet from the centre block, so each one fits underneath the bottom rim of the bottle.
