Frequently Asked Questions

How long does KegLink last?

5 years +

KegLink sensors have a minimum expected battery life of 5 years, with the actual sensor expected to last over 10 years.

Bulletproof Guarantee: At any time during your subscription period, if your sensor stops working, simply send it to us and we will replace it free of charge. (Malicious damage not included)

Can I pay upfront?

Yes.

While we find that the lease model works for most brewers, we understand that 1-size doesn’t fit all. If you would like to pay upfront, or discuss your own payment split between up-front & subscription, simply contact us on 1800 BINARY.

Will my KegLink sensors get stolen?

Unlikely.

The KegLink sensor is attached to your keg using a specialist tool. Without the tool, the sensors can’t be removed. For extra security, some brewers like to fill the attachment points with epoxy, but this does make it harder to service the sensors at the end of battery life.

KegLink sensors are also fitted with ‘tamper detection’ which sends an ‘SOS’ alert directly to you, so you can intervene and save your kegs. (check out our blog post ‘Do you know where your kegs are?’ for a real-life example of the value of tamper detection.

What if my KegLink sensor stops working?

Bulletproof Guarantee: At any time during your subscription period, if your sensor stops working, simply send it to us and we will replace it free of charge. (Malicious damage not included)

Will KegLink fit on ALL kegs?

No.

KegLink is designed to fit Stainless Steel EURO & DIN sized kegs. The sensors don’t fit on metal skinny style or rubber kegs (yet!).

If you are interested in monitoring rubber or skinny style kegs, please get in touch with us on 1800 BINARY to discuss other options.

Can I change my KegLink batteries myself?

No.

We offer full servicing of your sensors, including battery replacement, absolutely free as a part of our service. Simply send your sensor to our office and we will replace/refurbish it free of charge.

Can I track ANYTHING with KegLink?

KegLink has been specifically designed to suit the beer distribution system.

We also make other sensors for different industries, which you can check out on our website binarytech.io

What if I want to stop monitoring my kegs?

All KegLink services have a minimum initial service period. The longer the initial service period you commit to, the less you pay per month.

If you wish to cancel your KegLink service during the initial service period, you will still need to pay for the remainder of your inital service period.

Once your initial service periodis over, KegLink will continue on a month-to-month basis. You can cancel anytime after your initial service period by giving 1 months notice in writting.

I want to connect more than 1000 kegs

Great!
