Whats in the box?

As we try to keep our device as simple as possible, the only thing in the box is SavvyTanks V3. You may have ordered additional water sensors to work with your device.

Wiring

Wiring up our device couldn't be simpler. Our module needs only a 12v power supply and to be connected to the sensors of your choice.

Powering the device

To power all of our Add-On's, we simply require a 12v 1a fused supply. As clearly marked on the device, please wire up the 12v supply via the +/- power screw terminals. Ensure you correctly wire the device, incorrect polarity may damage the unit.

Connecting the Water level Sensors

To connect your CBE PC200 Water sensors, remove the white connector from the sender and extend the cable if needed. Please note that the plastic cap at the end of the probes need to stay on.

On the Tanks unit you will see Tanks 1 - 3 clearly marked. You can use any of these connections for your water probe however the default configuration is:

Tank 1 - Fresh Water
Tank 2 - Grey Water
Tank 3 - Black water.

This is configurable within the display unit.

Connect your wires as labelled:

White = W

Brown = B

Green - G

Connecting the Gas level Sensor

SavvyTanks will work with any 0-90 or 0-95 ohm sender. The wiring is not polarity specific and so these can be wired up to the GAS screw terminals either way round.

From your Gas sender, you should have 2 wires, simply connect these to SavvyTanks to the connectors labelled GAS.

Connecting the Gas Solenoid

SavvyTanks V3 has a built in Ultra Low Current Driver and is capable of controlling the remote gas solenoid for your underslung gas tanks. This is fully tested with Gasit, Propex and Autogas2000 tanks. However will work with any 12v solenoid.

To connect your solenoid, connect the +/- from your solenoid to the +/- Solenoid terminals on the SavvyTanks V3 module.

Connecting the Remote drain valve

SavvyTanks V3 can connect to a 12v auto return remote drain valve for your water tank.

To connect your 12v operated drain valve. Connect the live wire to your 12v feed as per the manufacturer’s recommendation. To switch the supply from on/off which will activate the valve, connect your Negative wire from the valve into 1 of the terminals on relay 1 or 2. Then the other terminal to ground.

Our system works by disconnecting and reconnecting the single wire passing through each Relay

Connecting any other 12/24v accessory

SavvyTanks V3 has 2 relays built in and can be used for any accessoriy with a max of 10a per relay.
