2.3 CREATE YOUR ASSET & ACTIVATE THE DEVICE
To activate the device, the app will step you through the process, which can
be completed with or without a Wi-Fi connection or mobile data using “Offline
Mode”.
You will need the asset measurements during this process to set the asset
profile. The measurements which are required are the Height “Maximum Depth” in
Metres and “Total Volume” in Litres of the asset being configured.
- To proceed with the upcoming steps, you will need a mobile phone that is NFC compatible.
- It is essential to ensure that NFC is enabled on the phone to successfully complete the process.
- Please refer to the NFC Troubleshooting section for instructions on how to enable NFC on your phone.
Following the instructions to add an asset to your app:
- From the bottom of the Inventory page select “+ Add Device” and select an asset type. There are 6 asset types to choose from: water tank, cow trough, dam, irrigation, liquid fertilizer and diesel tank.
- From the dropdown select “Sensor Type & Length” and tap “Next” The sensor length is indicated on the packaging.
To configure your asset profile, under Asset Settings, enter the asset dimensions for Height (Depth) in Metres or Feet and Total Volume in Litres or Gallons. Tap “Next”.
- Name your Asset. Give your asset a unique name to easily identify it. Tap “Next” E.g. “Workshop Diesel Tank’: “Paddock 6 Water Tank”
This information is critical for accurate level calculations of your asset. Hence, it is important to ensure that the measurements provided are correct.
Physical Installation
3.1 TOOLS REQUIRED
Before you head out to site, ensure you have the following tools which are not
supplied with the product.
Your phone with the app installed. The app can add a device without relying on
Wi-Fi or cellular coverage. It has an ‘Offline mode’ and will automatically
establish a connection once coverage is restored.
4 x 12 or 14 gauge tech screws, or the screws that are appropriate for the
material you are mounting to.
A drill with a 25mm (1 inch) hole saw or drill bit.
Measuring tape (to measure your tank) Ladder
Zip ties (optional)
Additional tools may be required which are specific to the installation
site
3.2 SITE REQUIREMENTS
When deciding on a location to install your device it is important to
understand how it operates.
The system uses electromagnetic radio waves to communicate with the individual
satellites that are part of a nano-satellite constellation. The device antenna
facilitates the transmission and reception of these radio waves. The device
calculates when these orbiting satellites will be transmitting through the
section of sky visible to the device antenna and transmits the messages
accordingly.
The system is not in contact with the satellites at all times; data is
transmitted when the satellites are in view of the device. Therefore, the
device must have a clear line of sight to as much sky as possible, in all
directions, to maximise transmission opportunities.
Example ideal site installation
The device must have a clear line of sight to as much of the sky as possible
with no obstructions in all directions, this will maximise satellite
transmission opportunities.
Example permissible site installation: obscured sky view
below 30° of device horizon line
Satellite passes below a 30° angle to the horizon have a lower probability of
transmission, therefore obstacles within this angle of the device are not
preferred but are permissible (see the diagram).
Example poor site installation: obscured sky view and
restricted transmission
Avoid placing the device in the following locations:
- Under or near tall trees or dense foliage
- Close to buildings
- Near metal or concrete structures
- At the bottom of deep canyons or valleys
- In close proximity to buildings, fences, poles or other structures
- In a mounted position that is at risk of flooding or submersion
- In close proximity to sources of RF interference such as high voltage power lines, mobile phone towers or radio towers
- Underneath or in close proximity to solar panels, weather stations or any other type of equipment that may share a mounting post/mast with the device.
Placing the device in any of the above situations may restrict or prohibit successful transmissions.Example improved site installation: use of elevation for an improved sky view The mounting pole has been used to raise the device above the obstructions around the tank and enable an uninterrupted view of the sky above 30° degrees in all directions. This will maximise transmission opportunities for the device.
3.3 INSTALLATION ON TANK
It is recommended to add your asset and activate your device via NFC on site, next to the tank. This is to enable accurate geolocation of your asset to the satellite. Wi-Fi is not required for these steps, you can use Offline Mode (see Offline Mode section in this User Guide) and then complete the process when you have Wi-Fi or mobile data. Drill a hole for the sensor cable while being careful to position it above the overflow level. Ensure the hole is smooth so it won’t damage the cable.
Align the hole on the tank with the sensor hole located on the mounting base, then fasten it in place using skews Attach the sensor cable to the device.
Make sure the white dots on both the sensor cable connector and the device connector line up, as shown. Carefully lower the sensor cable into the tank. Secure the device into the mounting base.
Push the device onto the mounting base and it will lock securely with a clicking sound.
3.4 NFC ACTIVATION
It is essential to remove your phone case or any magnets from the back of the mobile phone before initiating the process. This step is crucial to ensure that no obstructions interfere with the NFC activation.
During the activation process, make sure that your phone and the device’s NFC reader are in contact, remain stationary and aligned properly.-
Select “Start” and you will be prompted to lay your phone, flat on the device.
The NFC antenna on the device is located on the left side where the QR code or NFC icon is situated. -
It is important to know where your NFC chip is located in your phone. This is dependent on the make and model of your phone. Please refer to the section called NFC Antenna Positions.
-
Dependent on which position your NFC Antenna is in your phone will depend on which position you place your phone on the device. Please ensure you wait 3 mins before trying another position.
-
You may feel a vibration when the NFC connection is made, do not move your phone, keep it stationary.
-
During the activation the app will show ‘Device Activation in Process’, ensure the back of your phone touches the device and is kept in the same position, for 10-30 seconds.
-
Do not move your phone until it displays one of the messages shown. If you receive ‘Device NFC Operation Failed’ see NFC Troubleshooting.
-
Attach the
cover.
Align the protective cover with “Gallagher” at the front. Then, rotate it to
secure it firmly in position.
Photograph the device installation.
Refer back to the app – you will be prompted to take a photo of the
installation including the surrounding area. This photograph will be sent to
our Technical Support Team and will be used should you require assistance in
the future. Make sure the photo captures the device and the installation site.
In case there was no Wi-Fi or cellular coverage during the physical
installation, the device registration will be automatically completed once
coverage is restored.
IMPORTANT!
Level data will take approximately 24-72 hours to take its first reading.
Once the device has been activated, it will need time to process its GPS
coordinates and to synchronise message schedule with satellite pass overs.

3.5 ABOUT NFC
What is NFC?
Most smartphones are equipped with NFC, which is a method of wireless data
transfer called Near-Field Communication (NFC) that detects and then enables
technology to communicate without the need for an internet connection.
NFC tag reader supported iPhones:
- iPhone 7 and 7 Plus
- iPhone 8 and 8 Plus
- iPhone X
- iPhone XR
- iPhone XS and XS Max
The NFC chip in your phone is a passive scanner that only connects when it closely interacts with another NFC device or tag. Most iPhones are NFC enabled automatically, whereas NFC may need to be enabled on Android phones.
- iPhone 11 , 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max
- iPhone SE (2020 model)
- iPhone 12, 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max and 12 Mini and onwards
For all phones listed except the iPhone 7 & 8 reading the NFC tags is read
automatically as soon as the iPhone screen is on without needing to toggle the
NFC tag reader first.
NFC tag reader supported Android phones
If you have an Android phone, check under settings > connections > tap NFC
and contactless payments > tap the switch to turn NFC on.
Also, check your quick menu screen but swiping down from top to bottom. Look

4.4 MAP VIEW
From the main inventory page, select the asset for which you want to set
alerts. This will open the graph page for that asset:
- At the bottom of the graph page, you will see a map and pin icon. Click on this icon to open the map view page.
- On the map view page, you will see a map with red pins where your assets are located. When clicking on one of the pins, it will display the name, fill level of the asset in percent and the address of the asset. You can navigate the map by moving it with one finger on the screen. You can zoom in and out by using two fingers in a pinching movement. Depending on the software of your phone, the map will either be powered by Apple Maps or Google Maps.
If the device fails to provide a map view of your assets, you will receive the error message “GPS data not found”. The following provides the most common reasons the map view might fail:
- Your phone does not have a mobile data or a Wi-Fi connection. Make sure your phone is connected and try again.
- he GPS information on the device has not been updated. The satellites collect the GPS information about once a week. If you have activated your device at one location and then moved it to another, you will have to wait up to a week for the GPS data to be updated. Even if the map shows your device at a different location than you expected it to be, it does not mean that the device has been moved.
Troubleshooting
5.1 SATELLITE UPDATE
If you have activated your device and it has been more than 72 hours without
receiving any readings/data through your app, it is recommended to update the
satellite information.
To complete a satellite update, follow these steps:
-
Place the device on a flat surface. This is important as the “Satellite Update” can take 2-3 minutes and the phone and unit must remain stationary during the process.
-
Open the app and go to “Settings”, click on “Update Satellite Data” to start the network information update process.
-
Press the blue “Refresh” button and wait for the pop-up to say “File Saved Successfully”, then press “Update Device” to start the process.
-
For iPhones: put the phone’s top side against the edge of device where the QR code/NFC icon is located (dependent on model). The top frame of the phone should be touching or close to the base of the antenna. You will feel a vibration when the phone connects – do not move your phone.
For Android: this position may vary depending on what device you have. First, try the position used for iPhones, as previously shown. If this does not work, wait 3 minutes before trying the second position: place your phone horizontal to the antenna until you feel a vibration. Refer to the NFC troubleshooting section for more information for your specific phone make and model. -
If the phone is in the correct location, it will begin updating the satellite data.
-
Leave the phone in this position until the update process is finished. This should take approximately 2-3 minutes – keep the device stationary. Once the green circle is filled, you will see the message “Network Information Updated Successfully” – you can then remove your device.
5.2 MESSAGE OPTIMISATION
This feature optimises the messages between the devices and satellites.
To complete the message optimization, for your device:
- Launch the app.
- From the “Inventory Page” select the”+” in the top right corner.
- Hold your phone in the correct position against the device to complete the NFC update.
- When your mobile phone is in the correct position, it will vibrate to indicate it has connected with the device.
- Ensure your phone is kept still during the process.
- You will receive a message “Success” once the process has been completed successfully.
5.3 ASSET PROFILE UPDATE
If you have set the asset dimensions incorrectly, it is very easy to update
this information.
- Launch the app.
- From the “Inventory Page” select the asset which you would like to update the profile for.
- This will open the graph page for that asset. At the bottom of the graph page select the magnifying glass icon.
- This will open the “Asset Settings Page” update the dimensions.
- Select “Save”.
5.4 ACTIVATION NOT AT INSTALLATION SITE OR MOVING THE DEVICE TO A NEW
LOCATION – Reactivate for GPS Co-ordinates Update
Once the device is activated, it records the GPS coordinates of its location
to determine its position relative to the satellites and their paths.
However, if the device is activated at a location different from its current
installation site, it is recommended that a “Message Optimisation” is
performed on the device to update the GPS coordinates for the current
installation site.
To complete the “Message Optimisation” process, please refer to the
appropriate section.
