Watchman Sonic What is the difference between Watchman Sensors?

The 3 main products that we sell in the Watchman range is the Sonic, Sensit & Sonic Advanced

Watchman Sonic:

The Watchman Sonic is the base level telemetry system we offer. This system works with a transmitter that will sit onto the top of your tank and will communicate with a 3 pin receiver plug inside your property to give you an ‘out of 10’ bar reading.

Watchman Sensit:

The Watchman Sensit is the upgraded version of the Watchman sonic.

This unit gives you up-to-date oil readings on your mobile phone thought the use of Wi-Fi.

Attach the transmitter onto the top of your tank, then plug the USB receiver into any USB port in the property (e.g. the back of the internet router or a 3 pin UK socket with USB port) within the WI-FI radius.

Once this is up and running you will then need to download the Kingspan app and go through the steps to get your tank linked. You will receive oil level readings and over time the app will work out your predicted run out date.

Watchman Sonic Advanced:

The watchman sonic advanced is the upgraded version of the Watchman Sensit.

This device can be purchased as just the transmitter and plug or a complete package of the transmitter, plug and USB dongle.

The transmitter and plug option gives you the option purchase the USB dongle later. (Please note. These 2 units do not need each other to work)

The Watchman Sonic Advanced Is installed using the same method as the Sensit and Sonic - The advanced unit allows you to have both options of oil level monitoring (In the property and via app).

 

If you would like to find out more on these until please visit their pages here: SonicSensitSonic Advanced. Or pop into a chat, email or call us on 01643704328.

"Good price and quick delivery from Fuel Tank Shop. The Watchman sonic was easy to install and set up. I had to drill the tank to create a hole clear of the "windows" in the tank. There was a hole which was too small and was too close to the "windows". To cut the hole I used a cone drill bit bought on ebay for £5. The receiver is about 20 yards from the tank in the house, there isn't a direct line of site due to 3 foot granite walls but the signal is fine, I assume it goes through the window and bounces through the room. I have set the dip switches for a slightly smaller height tank so I get an earlier warning of low oil level."

Watchman Sonic Delivery Information

Tanks:

The delivery of a tank can be confusing as each manufacturer offers a slightly different service and lead time. Please refer to our Delivery Information page.  Standard tank deliveries are "kerbside" which means the tank will be delivered to the kerb only and not positioned further. Should you have specific delivery requirements or restrictions, please contact us to discuss.

 

Tanks Over 2500L – Articulated Lorry – Customer Offload:

These tanks will be delivered on an articulated vehicle (approximately 16.5m long x 2.6m wide x 3m high) which has no offloading on board, it is the customer's responsibility to offload the tank, which may require a telehandler / forklift.  Curtain sided vehicles are also used, so please note that if there are obstacles or hanging branches on the road to the delivery site etc, the driver may refuse to drive the vehicle to the customer's location due to the possibility of damaging the vehicle. Please let us know if there are any obstructions before delivery, so we can arrange alternative transport.

 

18 Tonne Tail Lift HGV

This vehicle is the size of the largest bin lorries (for comparison) and is approximately 8.2m long x 2.6m wide x 4m high, often curtain sided so please note that if there are hanging branches etc, these vehicles will not attempt to drive down due to the possibility of damaging the vehicle and so it is recommended that a smaller vehicle is requested. Tanks will be lowered to the ground but not positioned as this is a kerbside delivery.  If a smaller vehicle is required, please email us at sales@fueltankshop.co.uk quoting your order number and name.

 

HIAB Delivery

HIAB delivery is available but must be requested and there will be an additional cost for this service. If a HIAB delivery is required, please email us at sales@fueltankshop.co.uk quoting your order number and name, and we will come back to you with a price for this service.

 

Accessories:

Most accessories will be delivered within 1-3 working days. If you require them quicker, we can on occasions offer a next day service (please contact us to discuss). If the item(s) are out of stock, we will advise you of the expected lead time, and you will of course have the opportunity to cancel with a full refund.

 

 

Watchman Sonic Returns Information

Customers may return items within 14 calendar days (as per our Terms & Conditions) - refer to section 7. **

All Items must be returned unused, refunds cannot be issued for used or previously installed items.
