Abstract
An air tank monitoring system and method. An air tank pressure sensor which includes a microcontroller and a transceiver, such that the pressure sensor can send as well as receive and process information. Also provided is a wireless air tank status monitoring system which includes a wireless pressure transducer. The transducer is connected to a microcontroller which is powered by a battery. The microcontroller is connected to a transceiver which sends and receiver information using an antenna. The pressure information is communicated to a data concentrator or coordinator which includes a transceiver which sends and receives information using an antenna and a processor which processes the data and effectively controls the system.
