Tekelek 9-6121-02 Ultrasonic Long Range 4G LTE Sensor
Product Information
The Tekelek Ultrasonic Long Range 4G LTE sensor is a device that utilizes ultrasonic technology to measure the liquid level of your tank. It then communicates this data to a remote server. The sensor is equipped with LED indicators and a beep pattern to provide various status updates during operation.
LED Pattern:
- Green / Red / Off
LED test: When a magnet is held against the hot spot, the LED will briefly indicate Green followed by Red and then turn off.
- Red LED – On continuous
- Modem Busy: Registering on Network and sending data
- Green LED – On continuous
- Activated: Server has responded and Activated the unit.
Beep Pattern:
- Low beep once per second – Definition Network Registration
- High beep once per second – TCP connecting
- Low beep once every 4 seconds – Network / TCP Listen for commands
- Low beep once every 2 seconds – Re-establish Network / TCP
- High / Low combination beep – Incoming Data
- Low / High combination beep – Outgoing Data
- Low double-beep every 4 seconds – Network Listen (Data Received & Unit Active)
Product Usage Instructions
Sensor Installation:
- Firmly attach the sensor to the tank using the threaded 2 BSP (British Standard Pipe) existing tank connections.
- Ensure that the sensor has a clear path to the tank contents and is positioned vertically without any internal obstructions that may interfere with the ultrasonic signal.
- Place the foam gasket over the hole and screw the sensor correctly into the base of the tank. Make sure the threads have not crossed to ensure a secure seal. Do not over tighten.

Ultrasonic Long Range 4G LTE sensor Installation Guide
Thank you for purchasing the Tekelek Ultrasonic Long Range 4G LTE sensor which uses ultrasonic technology to measure the liquid level of your tank and then communicates this data to a remote server.
SIM Card and Configuration. The Ultrasonic Long Range 4G LTE sensor works in conjunction with a remote server and before installation the unit must be fitted with a suitable SIM card and be correctly configured for the location in which it is intended to operate.
- Use only for intended purposes. Do not alter or modify the equipment.
STEP 1: Activation
- To activate the sensor, hold the supplied magnet to the hot spot which can be found directly below the LED.
- As the magnet is held to the hot spot, the LED will first flash Green then flash Red, after this the Red LED will light continuously, remove magnet from hot spot once this has been achieved.
- A series of beeps will be heard while this Red LED remains illuminated. This indicates the IoT Modem is registering onto the cellular network.
- Upon successful registration to the network the sensor will attempt to initiate a GPRS connection to the server. This is indicated by higher pitched beeping and LED is illuminated RED.
- The successful connection to the server is indicated by High /Low / high tone beeps as data is exchanged with the remote server, as a joinrequest is processed. If all well, the server will send an Activation command.
- Successful activation is indicated by the LED turning green, and a double beep pattern.
- The Ultrasonic 4G LTE sensor will now begin measuring the tank liquid level and uploading the reading according to the pre-programmed schedule.
- If the sensor is installed according to Waveguide mode, then theServer administrator must be informed, to change the setting to suit that mode.
- It is recommended to Contact the server administrator to verify that the sensor readings are received on the server, and that the readings are good before leaving the installation site.
LED Pattern:

| High / Low combination beep | Incoming Data |
| Low / High combination beep | Outgoing Data |
Low double-beep every 4 seconds
| Network Listen
(Data Received & Unit Active)
STEP 2: Installation
The Ultrasonic LTE sensor works in conjunction with a remote server and before installation must first be registered to this. Access to the backend server is required to verify that the unit has correctly joined the network. The following outlines the sensor mounting options.
Note: Do not over tighten when screwing sensor onto tank.
The sensor must sit in a vertical position on top of the tank and be fitted
such that the sensor has a clear path to the tank contents.Position it so that
there are no internal obstructions that may interfere with the ultrasonic
signal.
- Locate a suitably positioned threaded opening on the top of the tank to hold the sensor.
- The sensor will fit directly into threaded 2” BSP (British Standard Pipe) existing tank connections.
- Place the foam gasket over the hole.
- Ensure that the sensor is vertical on the tank and screwed correctly intothe base and that the threads have not crossed, to give a secure seal.Do not over tighten!
- For tanks that do not contain a suitably positioned threaded opening onthe top of the tank to hold the sensor, please refer to Appendix.
Appendix: Drilling Procedure
- Choose a flat spot on the top of the tank.
- Use a 45.5mm tapping drill to drill a 1 ½” BSP hole on the surface of the tank.
- Place the foam gasket over the hole followed by the mounting adaptor.
- Tighten on to tank with 2 stainless steel self-tapping, counter sunk screws, supplied. Do not over tighten!
- Screw the sensor into the adaptor. Ensure that the sensor is vertical on the tank and screwed correctly into the base and that the threads have not crossed, to give a secure seal. Do not over tighten!
