The SignalFire Tank Level Float Stick System consists of a magnetostrictive level probe mated with a Sentinel wireless node which creates a wireless link between the sensor and the Gateway. The Sentinel will take level and temperature readings, and send the data (via the SignalFire wireless mesh network) to the Gateway where the data is available via a Modbus RTU or TCP interface. The system is powered by internal lithium batteries or optional C1D1 rated solar package. Sensor data along with node-diagnostic information is available at the Gateway.

Signal-Fire
The SignalFire system is a robust, short-range mesh network designed to give asset managers access to valuable process data. Easy to install and sensor agnostic, the wireless telemetry system can interface with many sensor types such as flow, level, pressure, and temperature, in controlling devices such as pumps, valves, heaters, fans, and lighting. Designed for challenging industrial environments, the SignalFire Remote Sensing System has been deployed in oil and gas fields, irrigation systems, water treatment plants, as well as a variety of other remote applications.
