! You should read all of the installation instructions
before proceeding. Decide where to install all components
before drilling any holes in your vessel.
The sensor is pre-configured to the US marine standard of 33.5-
240 ohm. Please refer to your operations guide for configuration
information.

The sensor is designed to be the only device receiving signals Attach marine-grade crimp-on connectors to both the red lead
from the sending unit. If the sensor is replacing a previous gauge, (+) and the black (-) lead. The Fluid Level Sensor must be the D 17.1 mm 9.6 mm
make sure you remove all the old gauge wires before you begin. ONLY device connected to the sender (0.67”) (0.38”)
If this is a replacement, note which connection is positive before
disconnecting the old wires. ! Do NOT connect the
sensors to the NMEA
This document assumes the mounting bracket is connected to
the fluid level arm (or potentiometer) and is already installed in

have finished connecting

— will connect to the sending unit’s mounting bracket, on top of
the red and black leads to A

Use one Fluid Level Sensor for each different fluid tank. When when working around
having 2 different tanks of similar fluids it is advisable to label fuel tanks.
