Page 3: Chapter 1 - Overview
CHAPTER 1 - OVERVIEW he S Tank Monitor represents a massive leap L II forward in level measurement technology for the Recreational Vehicle industry. The S L™ has a combination of features, accuracy, reliability, and diagnostic capability that have never been available before. -
Page 4: Chapter 2 - System Description
CHAPTER 2 - SYSTEM DESCRIPTION he SeeLeveL consists of a display unit that mounts inside the RV, and sender panels that stick to the side of the holding tank. A single 2 conductor wire is used to connect all the sender panels to the display. - Page 5 If a sender is operating properly and connected to the display with good wiring, then the display will show the level normally. If the wiring is disconnected, shorted, or cut, or if the sender panel is defective, then the display will indicate an error code. The various error codes are shown in the troubleshooting chapter.

Page 6: Chapter 3 - Operating Instructions
CHAPTER 3 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS he display is the only system component that is accessed by the user. All user input to the display is done using the five buttons along the bottom of the display. Operation of the display is as follows: To read a water or sewer tank level: 1. - Page 7 Note: If using two displays (i.e. a primary and a secondary display), then only the primary display should have a connection to the LPG tank. If both displays are connected to an LPG tank, then an incorrect reading will result. The primary display relays LPG levels to the secondary display through the sender wiring.
- Page 8 RV-C Bus Communication: RV-C is a communications protocol based on CAN that is used for control, coordination, and diagnostics. Note: Anyone that intends on connecting to the RV-C bus should have a knowledge of the RV-C specification. For more information on RV-C protocol go to: http://www.rv-c.com The sensors use a default source address of 72 and SPN-ISB instances are 0 for fresh, 1 for black, 2 for grey and 18 for galley...

Page 9: Chapter 4 - Display Calibration
CHAPTER 4 - DISPLAY CALIBRATION To calibrate the LPG sender: 1. The LPG tank must be full when the sender is calibrated, otherwise the calibration will be invalid. Fill the LPG tank by using an alternate measurement method, such as weight, a spit valve, or a mechanical gauge on the tank. - Page 10 To program the LED brightness: 1. If the display is to be used inside the coach, the LED brightness should be low. If it is to be used in the service bay area where sunlight can reach it, the LED brightness should be high. 2.
- Page 11 5. The display will now show “0SE” (zero senders/disabled), “1SE” (one sender) or “2SE” (two senders), based on what is currently programmed into the display. These are the only three options; the display will not work with more than two senders per tank.
- Page 12 Trip Polarity: While the BLACK button is held down, the display shows “Hi” on the left for a high level alarm or “Lo” for a low level alarm. After the button is released, the left digit shows “H” for a high level alarm which means the alarm turns on (closes) when the fluid level is equal to or higher than the set point, and the alarm is off (open) when the fluid level is below the set point.
- Page 13 To check the primary/secondary mode: 1. Press and hold down the BATT button, the display will show the battery voltage. While continuing to hold down the BATT button, press and hold down the BLACK button. Continue to hold down both buttons for about 5 seconds until the display shows “Pri”...

Page 14: Chapter 5 - Sender Programming
CHAPTER 5 - SENDER PROGRAMMING To program the 710ES or 710SS sender for the correct tank: 1. Since the senders are all connected in parallel to save wiring and to simplify installation, the senders must be programmed so they know which tank they are on. The senders can be programmed for either the fresh, grey, or black tank. - Page 15 2. The senders default to single or bottom operation if the programming is not altered. Consequently, if the sender is for single or bottom operation, nothing further needs to be done to it (beyond programming it for the correct tank). 3.

Page 18: Chapter 6 - Installation Guide
CHAPTER 6 - INSTALLATION GUIDE 1. Please refer to the “Troubleshooting and Installation Tips” section in Chapter 7 for details on avoiding installation issues. 2. The installation consists of mounting the display inside the RV, cutting and fastening the senders to the sides of the holding tanks, connecting wiring, and programming the display. - Page 19 Tank Sender Options Height Best Resolution Other Acceptable ” - 5” 5” - 7” 7” - 13” 13” - 17” stacked ES 17” - 25” stacked ES stacked SS 25” - 34” stacked SS For single sender applications: The sender ends should be ”...

- Page 22 7. To make the senders the right length (assuming they are too long) they will need to cut off with a pair of scissors. The end to be cut is the bottom end, which is the opposite end from the top where the wires come out (see the diagrams). CAUTION: DO NOT cut the sides, and DO NOT cut the 710ES sender shorter than 4 ”.
- Page 23 Make sure that the wires from the sender CAUTION: are routed to the RIGHT side of the sender, away from the sender. NEVER route the wires to the left of the sender. If they drape over the sender they could affect the reading. 13.
- Page 24 18. If equipped, connect the pump switch as required. WARNING: The pump switch is rated for a maximum of 7.5 amps. The use of a relay is required if more than 7.5 amps is needed. A 7.5 amp (max) fuse must be installed in the series with the 12V power circuit to the switch! 19.

Page 26: Chapter 7 - Troubleshooting Guide
CHAPTER 7 - TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE If a sender or its wiring is not operating properly, the following codes are shown on the display: DISPLAY CODE POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Open circuit 1. If a sender is unresponsive. See “Wiring Diagnostics” O P n 2. - Page 27 The diagnostics can be used to check the wiring and the senders: 1. If a short circuit is showing, disconnect the senders one at a time at the sender location. If the short circuit indication goes away when a sender is removed, then that sender is bad. If all the senders are removed but a short circuit still shows, then the wiring may be shorted.
- Page 28 3. To check the diagnostics, press and hold the button for the tank to be checked, the display will show the level for that tank. 4. While continuing to hold down the button for the tank, press the BATT button. When the display shows ”dIA”, release the buttons, the display will then change to showing the signal power diagnostic.
- Page 29 What to do in dual console systems if the two displays do not read the same: 1. For dual display console applications, if the consoles disagree the most likely reason is a bad console ground. Both console grounds, and the sender grounds, must be connected together with ground wiring.
- Page 30 Knowing the wall thickness of your tank will allow you to find the optimal sender position; placing the sender where it can “see” the water will ensure proper level calculation and sender operation. 2. The signal strength should be in the 50% range for best performance.
- Page 31 of the tank). This way you should see ‘0’ before the pump starts to suck air. Some tanks have a sump style draw system, in this case there is no concern with unusable water, just allow for the wall thickness when positioning the sender board (usually ½”...
- Page 32 for it to read 100%. The top of the sender must be at least ¼” to ½” away from the top of the tank to allow for wall thickness. 3. Another possibility is a tank wall thickness issue that may occur at the corners or edges of the tank.
- Page 33 2. When fastening the display to the panel, make sure that it is centered in the hole and not resting on one edge. 3. Non-conductive mounting spacers are available to help prevent damaging the display. Contact Garnet for further details. How to avoid damaging the display or pump switch due to excessive current: 1.
