Accurate Tank Level Monitoring with Pressure Sensors

Comparison of three different size tank level sensors starting at $59 with different IP ratings. Perfect for accurate tank level measurement in RV's and boats. Good for water, fuel, waste, black water and most other liquids. Easy to install and calibrate with Simarine system.

Very informative video. Thanks

[@Safiery]

You are welcome

[@PersonXes]

Thank you for this very clear explanation. I already have an ethernet cable and regular 1.5mm² copper cables running from my basement to my water citern. The length is about 30 meters. Based on your explanations I understand I can perfectly use your IP68 sensor. I just need to ensure the air tube is above the water level of my water tank and then connect the two wires to some of the existing cables (doesn't really matter whether I use one of the thinner or thicker cables as the calibration will take into account the voltage drop). Is that correct?

[@Safiery]

Yes, you are correct. Calibrate after install.

[@hargunjotsingh1884]

what is the cost of this sensor?

[@TheCodeMonk]

Any concerns with the sensor holes getting clogged when used in a black tank?

[@Safiery]

Yes we dont recommend for black water, even grey water can be a problem. We have our new Phased Coherent radar sensor coming which will monitor black, grey and of course fresh. It will be bluetooth to Victron's Cerbo

do you know this sensors gives data encoded i have one of them not screwdrivers and i geting data like this 01 04 04 3f 9f ae 80 ba 7e what is it means?

[@Safiery]

No it does not give data

[@vonderlust]

very cool - do you ship or distribute to the USA?

[@Safiery]

Yes we do

[@shadowswan]

Can you explain, you say these are not waterproof but say that they need to be fitted inside a tank?

[@Safiery]

shadowswan there are Three grades of “waterproof” IP 65,67 and 68. The last one IP68 can be fully submerged. IP67 can be fitted outside in the tank and can travel through water crossings easily. IP 65 may not survive water crossings.

[@shadowswan]

Ah ok so the bit that’s inside the tank is waterproof but not the outside?

[@Marty501000]

Do you know of a system that can utilise this sensor and report via wifi tank levels?

[@Safiery]

Sorry we can't do that. hard wired 0-5V

Can you link usb extender.

[@Safiery]

No USB with Simarine

[@TheDavidCollett]

Minor correction, 2% of 1M is 20mm, not 2mm.

[@Safiery]

Thank you, you are correct my bad. Most tanks are 400mm or so high and then it is 8mm.
