[C320-list] WASTE HOLDING TANK MONITOR

[swampcreek42]

We installed the Sensa Tank Marine 100 and it works great! It monitors 3 tanks which covers both fresh water and the black water tanks. They have 4 sensors per tank and they simply stick on the sides then go to a solid state touch panel that reads only when you touch it. We mounted te panel right above the battery selector switch and then simply hooked it directly to battery #1...fused of course. Looks factory if I say so myself!

I installed the SCAD single tank monitor some years ago and have been
satisfied with it.  Be sure to clean the side of the tank where you attach
the strips.  You want them to fully adhere with no air bubbles.  Also, be
aware that tank shape has a lot to do with reporting percent full.  The
later models with the 21gal tank have a larger top than the bottom.  The
SCAD monitor has program settings based on tank shape; but, none of the
available shapes matched our tank.  We just allow that the top half of the
tank is larger than the bottom half, so when 3/4 full, we still have maybe
1/3 capacity left.

Has any one used the SCAD external tank level monitor system on the black
plastic iregular tanks of the C320 .  See at
