Attaching the sensors to the tank
Start by reading through the
sensors to the tank wall. Please visit www.gobius.se for latest news. There
is also Tank Calculator for making it easier for you to calculate the right
levels to put the sensors on the tank wall.
Connect all parts
1. Decide where to place the Gobius panel. It can for instance be
installed in your head/shower or near your waste holding tank.
You may increase the length of the panel cable up to 50 m with a
standard PC network Cat 5 cable.
2. We suggest that you make a small rectangle hole where you want
to place the cable from the panel to the control unit. The hole
should be at least 4 mm x 22 mm. Please see the enclosed hole
template at page 5.
3. Use the pre-attached 3M adhesive to fasten the panel to the wall.
4. Connect the panel and the sensors to the control unit. Then
connect the cable to the battery. Make sure to connect + and –
correctly to the battery (+ is white/grey marked and – is black),
