Aladdin monitoring system parts

<< < (3/4) > >>

Larry and Heidi Lee:
For me the key point for installing the Sea Level system is it uses an exterior tank mounted sensor strip that adheres vertically to the outside of your holding tanks. (This eliminates sensors that take a reading from inside a tank that are subject to failure from debris) It has a solid state waterproof circuit on each strip that sends a signal back to your Aladdin system. All three of my holding tanks are in the same vicinity so it was simple to run the wires through the bay over to the outside hookup bay. Here all the wires converge and plug into the existing Aladdin system in the bay next door. A handy exterior display was included which I mounted in the hookup bay. No calibration necessary. You still view tank capacities with your Aladdin system.

Jim Shaw:
I replaced mine on my 2003 Monterey last year and they were on the drivers side behind the panel with all the water controls. Not a real bad job, but make sure to empty your tanks, flush your black tank and raise your drivers side with your jacks. Use plenty of teflon tape to prevent and leaks.

[size=14]I purchased the Seelevel system and asked my RV shop to install it. He attempted to do so, but did not, as he said the tank sides are slanted and the sensors would not work properly if the sensors are on a slant. Dave, are your sensors on a slanted surface?[/size]

David Rudisill:
Yes, my waste tanks are mounted on a slant.  They sit on wedges of Styrofoam, with the passenger side elevated for good drainage.

I mounted the SeeLevel sensor strips on the passenger side of the black and gray tanks.  Since it higher than the driver's side, they don't see the first few gallons of material, and except when the tank is exactly half full they are off by a bit.  

I carefully added a gallon of water at a time to the gray water tank and recorded the level indicated on the SeeLevel monitor.  It is off by 2% through most of the range, but 5% in the first and last 10% of the range.

I'm happy with that.  Of course, the fresh water tank is not mounted on a slope, so the SeeLevel sensor gives very accurate reading there.

MarcRodstein:
My tanks are not mounted on a slant, but have slanted sides. Viewed from the side, they are a trapezoid, with the across-the-top measurement of the tank about 3-4 inches more than the across-the-bottom measurement, making the sides go down on a slant like a pyramid in reverse.
