Tankwatch 3

Post by LakeMichiganBoater »

Wiring is all hot and working, but all the wires came out of the back of the Tankwatch 3 monitor. I think red (hot) goes in 1, gray 2 (gray is teh one that crosses all the floats so its the common one, then there is three others. I have the lights labeled, full, mid and empty, but cannot get any to light up when hooked up. Emptied tank nothing, full tank nothing. Not sure if someone has the PDF for this or suggestion on how to troubleshoot? This is for freshwater tank and all wires are working with continuity.

Thanks for the help! It doesn't have a schematic for the Tankwatch 3 panel - that is what I am looking for, there are 10 leads I think.

at the tank, bypass the probes by touching each probe lead to the common, one at a time. You will most likely find that the panel and lights are find and your probes are not working. You maybe able to remove and clean them and get it up and running again.

Check the condition of the holding tank by using a powerful flash light. If you see build up on the walls of the tank you most likely have the same on the level sensors. There are posting that show procedures for cleaning the tank and sensors. It could be as easy as an application of Unique Marine holding tank treatment, or a removal of the sensors. Good luck
