    Watchman SENSiT Domestic Oil tank Monitor/ Gauge What is the difference between Watchman Sensors?

    The 2 main products that we sell in the Watchman range is the SENSiT & Sonic Advanced

    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 to 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).

    Level in the APP is updated once per day in the early morning hours, and it's rounded to the nearest 5%. Environmental factors e.g. temperature and registered tank details may affect the accuracy

    "Impossible to say what the product is like as I never got it set up
    The helpline is no good whatsoever. Impossible to get through and you get an automated response to emails and never hear from them again.
    No response to a return request as well
    Regrettably I will be forced to raise a dispute with PayPal"

    "Arrived promptly, dead easy to fit (hole easy to drill in plastic tank!), plugged receiver in, downloaded the app and set it up (my tank was one on the 'known' list so didn't have to measure anything), and it all linked up straightaway.
    Took the precaution of fitting a plastic tub over the sender unit for weather protection, wife then added a decorative flower pot! But didn't impair the signal at all.
    Highly recommended."

You are asked for a serial number and a transmitter number but these are not clearly identified as such on the packaging.

    Setting up the app probably would have been straightforward if I had not downloaded it in advance on a different network. To get it to connect I had to delete the app from the phone and reload it.
    Instructions say to have data ready. Yes, this is necessary, but not very clear to what serial numbers went where.
    Other problem I had was that my (standard) Titan 3500 litre tank was not listed in the dropdown menu so I had to go out and take internal measurements.
    Readings corrected to 5% don't give any clue of daily use, but would indicate a sudden drop."

    Watchman SENSiT Domestic Oil tank Monitor/ Gauge 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.
