2 refrigeratorsStainless steel probe in a buffer bottle, one reading every 10 minutes, on the road and during service.
2 tanksThreshold sensor applied to the outside of the plastic tank: clean water running out, waste water to be emptied.
LeaksFloor sensor in the sink compartment: alarm with 0.5 mm of water, with buzzer.
Metered socketConsumption in kWh of a plug-in appliance up to 16 A, with switching on and off from the app.
What it does
- Two sensors with a stainless steel probe measure the temperature inside the refrigerators and send it every 10 minutes to the on-board gateway. The probe sits in a buffer bottle filled with glass microspheres, which reproduces the thermal inertia of the food and is not affected by the continuous openings during service.
- When the threshold set for each refrigerator is exceeded, the notification arrives on your smartphone: during the transfer, with the vehicle parked in the depot, at night with the refrigerator on a power pedestal.
- The two threshold sensors are applied to the outside of the plastic tanks, without drilling them. They do not measure litres: they indicate whether the water is above or below the height at which the sensing strip is stuck. On the clean water tank the strip goes low down, at the reserve level; on the waste water tank high up, at the emptying level.
- The leak sensor, in the compartment under the sink, reports water on the floor from 0.5 mm, with a built-in buzzer and a notification.
- The metered socket, inserted between the 230 V socket of the vehicle and an appliance, records voltage, current, power and consumption and makes it possible to switch the appliance off and on again from the app.
- The gateway is on board with the sensors and takes the data to the cloud with its SIM: the system does not depend on the place where you stop.
- The temperature history can be consulted from a smartphone and from a PC, with date and time: an automatic record supporting the HACCP self-monitoring plan.
For more refrigerators or a chest freezer, several vehicles to be seen in the same app, a trailer or a kiosk with its own network, metal tanks that require a different type of sensor: tell us the features of your set-up from the contact section and we will propose the right configuration with a quotation.

How it is installed
Gateway. In a compartment or on an internal wall of the vehicle, high up, away from griddles, fryers and steam: it is an indoor device, IP30, with operation from -20 to +50 °C. It is fixed with the supplied screw plate. USB-C 5 V/2 A power supply taken from the on-board 12 V with a fuse-protected adapter; it draws about 3 W, so it can stay connected to the service battery even with the vehicle parked. The two antennas must be kept vertical and not closed inside a metal compartment. The SIM is in micro format.
Probes in the refrigerators. The sensor body stays outside, on the side or on top of the refrigerator, fixed with screws or a cable tie: it works from -30 to +55 °C. The 50 mm stainless steel probe, with a 1.5 m cable, passes through the door gasket and is inserted into the buffer bottle, after removing the small plug inside the cap. The bottle must be secured on a shelf so that it does not move while driving, away from the evaporator.
Tanks. The sensing strip, 57 × 25 mm with a 1 m cable, is stuck closely against the outer wall of the tank, at the height you want to monitor. It only works on non-metal tanks, with a smooth wall of uniform thickness, recommended up to 3 mm. Two strips must be kept more than 15 cm apart from each other. The sensor body, IP67, is fixed nearby with screws, double-sided tape or a cable tie; the strip is not watertight and must be placed at a point sheltered from splashes and washing. After installation the guided calibration is carried out, filling the tank up to half of the strip and then beyond it.
Leaks and socket. Leak sensor laid flat on the bottom of the compartment under the sink, at the point where the water collects first, in a seat that prevents it from moving while driving and away from metal parts. The metered socket is plugged into a Schuko socket inside the vehicle and carries up to 16 A: it is for indoor use, IP20, and must be kept away from heat sources and liquids.
Configuration. Via NFC with a smartphone and the manufacturer's free app: temperature thresholds, reading intervals, calibration of the level sensors, device names. The gateway is configured from a browser. No cables and no paid software are needed.
Documentation included. Written installation guide with positions, probe routing, calibration procedure for the threshold sensors and connection of the gateway to the 12 V, and initial configuration of the thresholds based on the storage temperatures stated at the time of order.

Before you order
Does it work while the vehicle is moving?
Yes. Gateway and sensors travel together: the sensors talk to the gateway by radio from a few metres away and the gateway sends the data with the built-in 4G modem, wherever there is mobile network coverage. A data SIM is required (not included, any operator, micro format, traffic below 1 GB per month).
And at night, with the vehicle switched off?
The sensors are battery powered and always measure. The gateway draws about 3 W: if you connect it to a permanent 12 V supply, for example the service battery, it keeps transmitting even with the ignition off and you receive the alarms of the refrigerator left on the power pedestal. If you connect it on the ignition switch, it stops when the vehicle is switched off: the refrigerator sensors store up to 4,000 readings and retransmit them when it is switched back on.
Do the tank sensors tell me how many litres I have?
No. They are threshold sensors: they indicate whether the level is above or below the point at which the strip is stuck. On the clean water you receive the alert when you drop below the reserve you have chosen; on the waste water the strip goes high up and signals that it is time to empty. They only work on tanks in plastic or another non-metal material, with a smooth wall up to about 3 mm, and they require an initial calibration. For steel tanks, write to us from the contact section.
Is there a gas detector?
No, by choice. The gas detector available in this range measures methane only, whereas food trucks work with LPG: it would be of no use. The kit does not replace the safety devices required for the gas system of the vehicle.
Does it work with any refrigerator?
Yes. The system does not connect to the electronics of the refrigerator: the probe passes through the door gasket and the sensor body stays outside. This applies to upright refrigerators, refrigerated tables, display cabinets and chest freezers, at 12 V or at 230 V. Refrigerators, tanks and electrical appliances are not included: the kit monitors the ones in your set-up.
Are the records valid for HACCP?
The refrigerator sensors comply with the EN 12830 standard on temperature recorders for food and the manufacturer indicates them for the continuous monitoring of critical control points. The system records one reading every 10 minutes and keeps the history with date and time. How to include these records in the self-monitoring plan remains a choice of the HACCP manager.
I have more refrigerators or more than one vehicle
The kit is configured on the set-up: for every extra refrigerator a sensor with probe and buffer bottle is added; every vehicle has its own gateway and all the vehicles are seen in the same app. Write to us from the contact section stating the number of vehicles, refrigerators and tanks: we will send you the composition and the quotation of the adapted kit.
Battery life
With one reading every 10 minutes at 25 °C the manufacturer states about 8 years for the refrigerator sensors; over 10 years for the threshold sensors with three alarms a day; about five and a half years for the button cell of the leak sensor. Shorter intervals reduce the life. The batteries are replaceable and the charge level is visible in the app.
Where is the data consulted and are there any fees?
On the app and on the portal of the manufacturer, from smartphone and PC, with charts, thresholds and notifications; no fee for basic use. If you have HACCP software or a management system, the gateway can also send the data to that system (MQTT or HTTP): the configuration is included.
Is an electrician needed? Do the devices stand water and washing?
For the sensors, no: they are battery powered and are fixed with screws, cable ties or double-sided tape. The gateway must be connected to the 12 V of the vehicle with an adapter and a fuse: a job for the vehicle fitter or auto electrician. Temperature sensors, leak sensor and the body of the level sensors are IP67. Gateway, metered socket and the strips of the level sensors are not watertight: they go inside, at points sheltered from splashes, steam and washing.
What is not included
- Refrigerators, tanks and electrical appliances: they are the ones in your vehicle
- The data SIM for the gateway
