For accurate container fullness levels, the Fill Height, Fill Gap and Asset Volume must be correctly recorded. This article shows you how to take a Fill Height and Fill Gap measurement of a Container.
Before you go on site to install your Superfy G2 Fill Level Sensor in a container the Capacity or Volume of each container must be correctly recorded on the Container Information Template or on the Platform.
The Fill Height and Fill Gap must be recorded during installation on the Superfy App.
Please ensure to save the Fill Height and Fill Gap measurements, as you will
need these measurements when Assigning a Sensor to a Container in the
Superfy App.
Please note that if these measurements are not accurate, you will receive incorrect fill level data. To confirm that the measurements are accurate, a Manual Reading must be conducted before leaving site.

FILL HEIGHT
- Measure the distance from the top of the internal container to the base of the internal container (i.e. to where the container will be considered ‘100% full’). This is the Fill Height.
FILL GAP
- Measure the distance from the face of the G2 Sensor to the top of the internal container. This is the Fill Gap.

Measure the installation position
Measure the Internal Height (Y) and Width (X) of the container. If the container height (Y) of the back wall is less than the container width (X), install the sensor in Position 1, if greater, install in Position 2. The container sensor should be installed as close to the top edge of container as possible (Z), however, consideration needs to be made for access and fixings through the container wall, avoiding any hinges or obstructions.
Fill Height is the measurement from the bottom of the container to where you establish 100% fullness (see Red Line below). The Fill Gap is the measurement from the sensor to the 100% fullness level. (see Green Line below)
