Title: Setting coach tank calibration
Post by: Michael Turnipseed on November 29, 2017, 07:12:34 PM
Would appreciate any information on setting coach tank levels and tank calibration. When I attempt to reset levels the entered amounts keep flashing as if the tank level interface isn't responding.

Aladdin or Silverleaf?  We/I don't know your coach's year and model.

So sorry newbie mistake.  It's an Aladdin system on a 2003 Patriot Thunder Lexington.

There is a procedure in the Aladdin manual. Basically, you have to set zero and span (tank empty, tank full). At empty, the sensor give a 5 digit # that you write down, then you fill the tank and write down that #. You go into Aladdin setup (need a code, its in the manual) and enter the values you have written down. I've got the manual here somewhere, I'll look for it and post it if I can find it.

Michael, in the Private Members Only section (scroll to Coach Assist) off the Home page here on the Forum you'll find links to a lot of useful documents, including Alladin items.

Thanks for the info, last May BCS installed new sesensirs for the previous owners , so overwhelmed that I can’t honestly remember if they were working then. I know power / batteries were disconnected during some repair work but all other functions of the system are operating, so could that have cleared calibration? Do only service techs have the code?
Thanks

No, I have the code for mine written down in the manual. I think its the same code for everyone.

I was wrong. The code is 1218. I have the calibration instructions. Let me know if you want me to scan them and email them to you. They are somewhat confusing to a new user. Bill Sprague walked me through mine when I did it.

Michael, it is indeed 1218.  But go to pg. 18 or 19 of the Aladdin troubleshooting guide in the Coach Assist section for guidance.
