SeeLevel sensors integrated with Victron system

[rideadeuce]

Pretty simple setup if you have a Victron system. I got the new SeeLevel display that has extra 4 pin connection for sending information to the Ekrano/Cerbo from

You do not need new tank sensors.

Reviving a bit of an older thread as I am installing this same panel now.

Does anyone have the part number of the three way switch located in the bath that operates the water pump?  As this newer SeeLevel panel does not have a pump switch, I need to replace the one in the current SeeLevel panel that I am removing.

That would be a "Single Pole Double Throw" (SPDT) switch.  I buy my switches from DigiKey company, PN CH876-ND.  If you message me privately, I can send you an extra one I have.

Thanks so much.  Private message sent.

Probably a bit unusual of a question, but -

What configuration settings are used with 30lb propane tanks and Mopeka sensors for the Cerbo?  Specifically, the tank capacity (7 or 8 gallons) and empty and full sensor reading height?  I had guessed about 20 inches (50.8cm) for full height, but not sure that is correct. 

And did you have to rewire the connector to the SeeLevel when you replaced it with the newer panel?  I tried the connector removed from the original SeeLevel and it did not work with the new panel.  I'm not referring to the RJ-45 connector that goes to the Cerbo, but the original one that gets power and data from the fluid level sensors.

Yes, you have to order new panel from SeeLevel that will connect to Victron system. Easy to switch out. 

The chart below may be helpful.

Thanks for the chart. That is the info I was looking for.

As to the SeeLevel - I did purchase the new panel with the Cerbo connector. The panel did not work when connected to the existing Molex connector.  Do you know if this panel gets its power from the Cerbo connector or the standard connector?

The red wire from the 4 pin connector, I believe. I am not an expert on this, always have to call myself. Where did you buy the new Seelevel panel? Vanlifeoutfitters was very helpful for me. I had actually got one of the 4 pin connectors loose stuffing it in the hole and finally after taking out and putting it back a couple of times got it back working.

Also, the settings for the Ekrano were different than what is needed for the Carbo. Again, I would call Vanlife if that is where you bought the panel, very knowledgeable and helpful folks.

This link contains the information I used to connect and monitor the SeeLevel tank senders and a Cerbo GX.
