See Level installation help

October 11, 2024, 01:37:39 pm

Attempting to install See Level using existing wiring. I am not experienced with wiring and want to be sure I am doing this install correctly.  Which existing wires do I attach to the senders? I've attached pictures of the current tank system wiring.  Also, which wires do I tap into for the senders and the LP for the display?  Attached a photo of the adapter going into the old Javelina system.
I am going to follow the previous suggestions of placing the fresh water sender at the bottom of the tank and the black and gray water senders at the top.
Thank you very much!
Glenn

You have a lot more wires than you need so just choose a blue, green and black if you can as it
will make it easier. Black is common ground and is grounded to the coach and red is power from
from the coach.

My Javelina system used different sensors so I'd wait until someone who has/had a setup like yours chimes with better details.  TBH I'm still in the middle of installing my SeeLevel

The SeeLevel sensors will have a blue (signal) and black (ground) wire on them.

Start with a single sensor to make sure you have the wiring correct (don't worry about stacked sensors just yet)

Connect the SeeLevel sensor blue wire to the existing orange or green, or yellow or blue wire (your choice) on the old system. 

For example, if you chose the orange wire be sure to disconnect the orange wire from all the other tanks while you are testing.  The only thing that can "talk" on the color wire you choose is the SeeLevel sensor.  Once you know its working you would continue to connect additional SeeLevel sensors to the orange wire on the other tanks.  I choose orange in this example for clarity, using the blue wire on the tank would make more sense

Connect the SeeLevel black to the gray wire (the right most bottom lug), I **THINK** that is the ground wire (a simple multimeter would help confirm).

Inside the coach, you would connect the new monitors pigtails blue wire to the orange, black to grey, and red to 12V.  The monitor should then show you the voltage and a tank level.

We ran new wiring into the bath area and installed the See Level monitor there.
Also installed a monitor in the wet bay at the same time.
Having tank monitors in the dash never made sense for our use.

Instructions on the See Level website are VERY helpful.

Thank you for the guidance; I have been delayed in finishing the install but hope to finish it tomorrow.
Thanks again!

Thanks to those who shared their insights and experience, the See Level is installed and functioning correctly. Decided to run all new wire and then place the monitor in the cabinet by the stairs. Still need to hook up to propane tank but I'm waiting until I get it filled; the instructions said that the tank has to be filled in order to calibrate.
Thanks again for your guidance and support.  Sadly, we will be selling soon; we just haven't done the traveling we had planned so we will pass her on.
