Installing a tank monitor with an adapter kit

Preparation

When you remove the sensor from its packaging for the first time, there is a yellow protective cap on the sensor for safety reasons.
You must remove this cap before installing the sensor in the tank.

A gray cable with connectors next to a box containing a cylindrical component.

Please note that if pre-assembling, the sensor must be inside the pipe, otherwise the sharp edge of the pipe may damage the sensor cable.
The pressure sensor only measures the pressure above the sensor and not below it. Therefore, hang the sensor as low as possible in the pipe.

Attach the cables to the female connector as follows:

  • Brown → Pin 1

  • Blue → Pin 2

  • Black → Pin 4 (If you’re using a splitter (EVC510))

  • Connector B = Fuel

Attention!

Always use ferrules when installing flexible cables in connectors.

Points of attention

A hydraulic valve assembly with various connections and components highlighted for identification.

  • Green arrow:

    Tighten the swivel + check during each inspection.

  • Red arrow:

    Tighten the adapter for the swivel properly so that the O-ring settles correctly.

  • Blue arrow:

    Do not lower the pipe completely. The threaded socket should protrude ±1 cm above the seal.
    Check at the seal to ensure there is no damage to the pipe.

  • Yellow arrow:

    Apply Teflon (string) to the bolt to ensure it seals properly.

Attention!

Ensure that the tap handles can still be opened and closed.
