Apollo Smart

Apollo Smart

Apollo Smart Oil Tank Energy Monitor: the world’s first home oil monitor. Designed specifically for domestic oil heating installations (bunded and single-skin tanks). Not suitable for underground tanks. NEW - Now with built-in FUEL THEFT ALARM.

Unlike traditional oil tank contents gauges, Apollo Smart allows you to monitor the volume of usable fuel remaining inside your tank, heating oil consumption, energy costs, air temperature and carbon emissions from the warmth, comfort and convenience of your home. Measuring key indicators of system efficiency helps you to identify interventions to reduce heating oil consumption, energy costs and carbon emissions.

Apollo Smart is a two-piece system, which comprises a tank top transmitter unit and a receiver unit. The wireless transmitter unit is suitable for use with almost any oil tank up to 3 metres tall (19000 litres max.), irrespective of manufacturer or material of construction. The receiver unit incorporates a premium quality LCD and simply plugs into a standard electrical socket, with no wiring or electrical work required.

How it works
The Apollo Smart transmitter unit can be fitted to almost any oil tank, with no specialist tools or training required. The unit is simply affixed to the tank via the pre-drilled 32mm diameter aperture, found on most tanks produced in the UK and Ireland since the late 1990s, and retained with 2 self-tappers (supplied). The transmitter unit monitors the level of fuel inside the tank, measuring fuel levels and consumption.

Now also with the new added alarm enhancement, should the transmitter detect a sudden drop of fuel inside the tank outside normal consumption conditions, it will automatically alert the Smart receiver unit to the event which will then sound an audible alert to warn the customer.

The Smart receiver unit also incorporates a unique days-to-empty facility, which shows you how many days' supply of fuel remains. The risk of running out of oil is further reduced by an inbuilt low-level alert with an audible warning alarm and, again new for the 2013/2014 heating season, the unit will also come complete with an audible inbuilt fuel theft alarm.

This data is transmitted to the receiver unit, which can be positioned up to 150 metres from the transmitter unit, where it is analysed and displayed on an intuitive and easy-to-read display.

For cleaner, safer refuelling, the Apollo Smart transmitter unit incorporates an inbuilt level display, allowing fuel delivery personnel to monitor tank levels before, during and after delivery.

Data Outputs

• Apollo Smart will allow you to monitor the following data on demand:
• Volume of usable heating oil remaining – displayed in litres and as a percentage of total tank capacity
• Room Temperature, displayed in degrees Celsius
• Fuel level – displayed via an easy-to-read bar graph
• Additionally, the following information is continuously monitored, recorded and can be viewed on the receiver unit:
• Heating oil consumption in litres
• Estimated heating oil costs in £ Sterling (STG) or Euro (EUR)
• Carbon emissions in kgCO2

Fuel consumption, heating oil costs and carbon emissions data is produced on the following basis:

• Average per day
• Average per week
• Last 7 days estimated total
• Last 30 days estimated total
• Last 365 days estimated total
