This is an additional tank level sensor compatible with Sensor Hubs, Sensor Nodes and LED the sight glass. By default, each of these devices already comes with a tank level sensor. This item can be used to upgrade to an alternative style or as an add-on if you originally purchased without the tank level sensor.
Measure: Tank Level (0-100%) Vacuum Level (0-29.9 inHg) Temperature (degrees F)
We generally recommend the submersible style level sensor in all scenarios. The only disadvantage to the submersible is it is one more think to wipe down/clean when you clean your sap tanks.
The submersible sensor cable length is 15' and includes an extra 15' extension: 30' total.
The ultrasonic sensor cable length is 15' total and by default does not include an extension.
The only scenario you'd want to use the ultrasonic sensor is for open top tanks using an electric releaser.
This is the yearly subscription fee for each Sap Spy Sensor Hub. By default all Sensor Hubs will be deactivated between Early May --> Early January during off season. Devices will reactivate automatically Early January 1st --> Early May. SapSpy can accommodate year long activation by request for no additional charge.
First sugaring season is included in the purchase!
3.5 Watt 6 Volt Solar Panel
Regular price
$95.00
The 3.5 Watt 6 Volt solar panel is lightweight, waterproof, and designed for long term outdoor use. When installed in full or even partial sun, it will fully charge and maintain the internal battery of the Sap Spy Sensor Hub.
SapSpy Sensor Hub battery typically lasts 2-4 weeks between charges. The optional solar panel add-in can charge a battery from empty to full in 8-12 hours of full sun. This keeps the Sensor Hub powered all season without any additional intervention even during multiple days of heavy cloud cover.
Solar Panel includes mounting bracket and necessary cables to plug directly into the SapSpy Sensor Hub.
15’ Extension Cable for Tank Sensor or Relay
Regular price
$20.00
This 15’ extension cable can be used with the ultrasonic tank level sensor or relay model to add an additional 15’ length. Cable plugs in and screws together for a secure weatherproof seal. Adding this will allow a total of 25’ between tank level sensor and Sensor Hub or 20’ between the relay module and sensor hub.
12 Volt Battery Alligator Clips
Regular price
$25.00
The power chord with alligator clips is an alternative option to power the SapSpy Sensor Hub from any 6 or 12 bolt battery. This option will keep the Sensor Hub easily powered all season without any additional intervention.
Customer supplies external 6 or 12 volt battery.
Do not connect the SapSpy Sensor Hub to a battery within a running vehicle. The higher voltage introduced by a running vehicle may cause damage. Typically, the battery is fully disconnected and brought into the Sugarbush.
Note: This option is not required for remote sugarbushes. The SapSpy Sensor hub includes an internal rechargeable battery. This battery will last 2-4 weeks between charges already. The purpose of this option is to allow you to remotely recharge the internal battery or for full season SapSpy use without having to recharge.
Extra Node Antenna
Regular price
$10.00
This is a RP-SMA style antenna used on Sensor Nodes and Sensor Hubs.
