Once the sensor is placed and the fluid has settled, the app will display a reading. NOTE: If the tank was flipped during the application of the sensor, the LPG fluid will be sloshing around in the tank for a few minutes and the quality of the measurements will be reduced until this has stabilized. 8. If tank was removed for the application of the sensor, safely return tank back to its original location. 4. Once the app and sensor are paired, wipe off the bottom of the tank where the sensor will be magnetically mounted. 5. Apply the provided Sonic Grease directly to the rubber pad on the center of the sensor before attaching to the tank (Fig.3).
