On-site gauge readout and remote visibility — from the gauge already installed.
Hall Pro retrofits existing analog gauges with on-site display and daily data transmission — purpose-built for active LPG filling and collection operations in ATEX Zone 0 environments.
Built for LPG distributors running active on-site filling and collection operations.

Retrofit Sensing for Mechanical Tank Gauges
Hall Pro is a Hall-effect sensor that attaches to existing Rochester analog gauges via cable — without replacing the gauge. It reads the needle position magnetically and transmits fill level data to FoxPortal. The Rochester analog gauge face remains in place as the physical on-site level indicator.
Designed for active tank operations — filling, collection, and field service visits where operators need on-site gauge visibility. Certified for Zone 0 explosive atmospheres (SGS22ATEX0060X / IECEx BAS 22.0034X / II 1 G Ex ia IIC T4 Ga). Compatible with Rochester Junior, Senior, and 4″/8″ gauge formats.
Core Capabilities
- ATEX Zone 0 certified — the highest hazard classification, for permanently explosive atmospheres where Zone 1 hardware is not sufficient
- Attaches to existing Rochester gauges without replacing them — preserve your gauge infrastructure
- Live gauge readings every 15 minutes for active filling and collection operations
- Instant alerts on large fills or withdrawals — without waiting for the daily transmission window
- Integrated data logger protects data continuity when signal is lost
Where Hall Pro Fits
- Active LPG tank filling and collection operations requiring on-site level visibility during service
- Field technicians and delivery drivers who need real-time gauge readout during operations
- LPG fleets with 4″ or 8″ gauge formats — not supported by FoxHall
- ATEX Zone 0 installations requiring intrinsically safe certified hardware (II 1 G Ex ia IIC T4 Ga)
- Sites where the existing analog gauge must be preserved — Hall Pro reads it without replacement
Industry applications: LPG
Ideal Use Cases
- LPG distributors running active filling and collection operations with field staff on-site
- Operations with 4″ or 8″ Rochester gauge formats not compatible with FoxHall
- Zone 0 installations requiring the highest ATEX/IECEx hazard certification
- Sites requiring 15-minute measurement intervals and near-real-time fill and withdrawal detection
Deployment Requirements
- Compatible with Rochester Junior, Senior, 4″ and 8″ gauge formats only
- No digital display added — the Rochester analog gauge face remains the physical on-site indicator
When to Use a Different Sensor
Hall Pro is designed for active operations on Rochester gauges with Zone 0 ATEX requirements. Consider an alternative when:
- Passive remote monitoring is sufficient — no active on-site operations required (→ use FoxHall)
- The installation does not require Zone 0 ATEX certification (→ use FoxHall)
- The tank does not have a compatible Rochester gauge and does not store LPG or other flammable liquids requiring Zone 0 ATEX certification — use a direct sensing approach (→ use FoxRadar Gen 4 or FoxPressure Gen 4)
Role Within the FoxInsights System
Hall Pro converts analog gauge movement into digital level data. Monitoring is sensing; forecasting remains platform-layer.
Integrated with FoxPortal
- Tank-level data transmitted to FoxPortal for consumption-based forecasting
- Portfolio-wide LPG fleet visibility with fill and withdrawal history
- Structured service timing across active filling and collection operations
