Rochester Sensors TEK 871 LR
+ Rivio Fleet Dashboard.
The TEK 871 LR extends the TEK 871's intrinsically safe ATEX platform to tall tanks and long-range vessels. Rated UL913 C1D1 Zone 0, it brings cellular LTE monitoring to large-format hazardous liquid storage. Pair it with Rivio for a complete fleet cloud dashboard — live levels, GPS, job detection, and alerts.
What Is the Rochester Sensors TEK 871 LR?
The TEK 871 LR is the long-range variant of the TEK 871 — an ATEX intrinsically safe cellular ultrasonic sensor combining the TEK 822 and TEK 865 in a single unit, now optimized for tall tanks with greater beam distance. C1D1 Zone 0 certified for fuel, solvent, and flammable liquid monitoring at scale.
📏
Long Range for Tall & Deep Tanks
The LR variant extends the ultrasonic beam range beyond the standard TEK 871, making it suitable for tall vertical tanks, deep fuel storage, and large chemical vessels.
🔥
ATEX / Intrinsically Safe — UL913 C1D1 Zone 0
Carries the same C1D1 Zone 0 certification as the TEK 871 — designed for environments with continuous flammable gas or vapor presence.
🔗
Combined Sensor + Data Logger
Integrates the TEK 822 sensor and TEK 865 data logger into one unit. Reduced component count means fewer connections in a hazardous zone.
📡
Cellular LTE CAT-M1/NB-IoT/2G
Transmits readings from inside the hazardous zone over LTE — no gateway, no additional infrastructure required at the tank.
How TEK 871 LR + Rivio Works Together
The TEK 871 LR handles hazardous-zone sensing and LTE transmission for tall vessels. Rivio handles the cloud, fleet visibility, and automated workflows.
01
TEK 871 LR Senses in the Hazardous Zone
The C1D1 Zone 0 sensor measures liquid level in tall or large tanks — even where flammable atmospheres are present continuously — and transmits over LTE.
02
Rivio Enriches Each Data Point
GPS position, job state (loading, delivering, idle, discharge complete), volume tracking, and equipment identity are added to every sensor reading automatically.
03
Fleet Dashboard for Your Whole Team
Dispatchers, managers, and drivers see live levels across every TEK 871 LR-equipped asset — on map, on mobile, with threshold alerts.

Who Uses TEK 871 LR + Rivio
⛽
Large Fuel Storage Depots
Monitor tall above-ground fuel tanks at petroleum depots and distribution centers. C1D1 safety with long-range accuracy across the full tank height.
⚗️
Bulk Chemical Vessels
Track large chemical storage tanks where both intrinsic safety and extended vertical range are required. Real-time level with no manual checks.
🚛
Fuel Tanker Trucks — Larger Barrels
Fuel transport trucks with larger tanks benefit from LR range. C1D1 certification meets flammable liquid transport requirements.
🏭
Industrial Process Tanks
Tall industrial process vessels — solvent recovery, chemical feedstock, petroleum intermediates — where a single sensor must span the full vessel height.
📡
Remote Bulk Storage Sites
Unmanned remote sites with large fuel or chemical reserves. LTE transmission keeps Rivio updated without on-site infrastructure.
📋
Regulatory Compliance Logging
Automated timestamped volume and level records across all TEK 871 LR assets — ready for environmental and safety regulators on demand.
TEK 871 LR + Rivio FAQ
What is the difference between the TEK 871 and TEK 871 LR?
The TEK 871 LR is the long-range variant — optimized for taller tanks with a greater ultrasonic beam distance. Both share the same ATEX C1D1 Zone 0 certification and cellular LTE platform.
What hazardous area classification does the TEK 871 LR carry?
ATEX certified and rated UL913 Class I Division 1 Zone 0 — the highest hazardous area rating, covering continuous flammable gas or vapor presence.
How tall a tank can the TEK 871 LR monitor?
The LR variant extends the ultrasonic range beyond the standard TEK 871. Contact Rochester Sensors for exact beam distance specifications for your vessel.
Does Rivio support both TEK 871 and TEK 871 LR sensors in the same account?
Yes. Rivio handles mixed fleets — you can have TEK 871 on smaller hazardous tanks and TEK 871 LR on larger vessels, all in one dashboard.
Can I mix TEK 871 LR with TEK 811 sensors in one Rivio fleet?
Yes. Rivio handles mixed sensor deployments — TEK 871 LR on C1D1 fuel tanks, TEK 811 on C1D2 liquid trucks, both visible in the same live map.
