Dunraven APOLLO SMART Product Manual

APOLLO SMART PRODUCT MANUAL
1) INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting the Apollo Smart Heating Oil Energy Monitor. This revolutionary
home energy monitoring system allows today's energy and environmentally conscious
consumers to monitor and track their heating oil consumption, its costs, and the heating
systems environmental impact through carbon emissions, on a daily, weekly, monthly,
and annual basis.
The Apollo Smart product from Dunraven Systems consists of the Apollo Smart
Transmitter and the Apollo Smart Monitor. The Apollo Smart Transmitter is easily
installed on your oil storage tank to measure the level of the oil. It transmits the oil level
information wirelessly to the Apollo Smart Monitor which may be located in a convenient
location inside your home.
The Apollo Smart Transmitter uses ultrasonic technology to measure the distance from the
Transmitter on top of the tank to the surface of the liquid in your oil tank. As the amount of
oil in your tank decreases the distance measured increases accordingly. The distance
information or 'ullage' is transmitted wirelessly to the Apollo Smart Monitor.
Litres and % fuel
Once programmed with information about your oil tank's shape and size, the Apollo Smart
Monitor calculates and displays the amount of fuel remaining in your tank in litres or as a
percentage of the tank capacity. In addition (as oil is consumed over time) the Apollo Smart
Monitor calculates and displays usage information including the average amount of litres
used per day, per week, over the last 30 days, and over the last 365 days
Days to Empty (DTE)
As the Apollo Smart Transmitter continuously measures and transmits the oil level, the Apollo
Smart Monitor retains this information allowing it to 'learn' historical heating system usage
patterns and so predict the 'Days to Empty' for your home. With this information you can
ensure that you order your oil at the correct time – not too soon, and more importantly, not
too late.
Costs
By entering the cost you pay for your oil during the setup process of your Apollo Smart
Monitor and subsequently when you take deliveries of oil (if the price has changed), the
Apollo Smart can present your oil usage in terms of its costs, i.e. average cost per day and per
week, and the cost for the usage over the last 30 days and 365 days.
Environment
Similarly, the Apollo Smart Monitor can display your oil usage in terms of the associated
production of CO emissions, as the equivalent quantity of KgCO emitted per day, per week,
2 2
the last 30 days and 365 days.
The Apollo Smart Transmitter fits into the standard 32mm aperture found on most modern oil
storage tanks and is suitable for use with almost any plastic or metal tank up to 3m tall,
including Bunded and Single Skin Oil tanks. If your tank is a bunded tank, ensure that you
mount the Apollo Smart Transmitter on the inner tank.
As part of the installation the Apollo Smart Transmitter and Monitor are 'synchronised'
together to ensure there is no interference from other nearby transmitters.
