Aladdin monitoring system parts
MarcRodstein:
Thanks for the report Dave. I am curious as to why you first installed the system without the Alladdin interface, and then installed it again with the Alladdin interface. What did you gain by adding the Alladdin? It seems like the Seelevel interface is more accurate, so why bother to hook up the Alladin to it?

I installed the SeeLevel system before the Aladdin interface was available. I agreed to beta-test the Aladdin interface when they were developing it. I sent them wiring diagrams of the Aladdin tank monitoring system, and they provided the system to me without cost.
MarcRodstein:
So Dave, if you were doing it again, would you choose to use the Alladdin interface? It seems redundant and unecessary to me.

A few minutes ago, I would have responded "No, I would not have installed the Aladdin interface."
Then I saw this reply to a post of mine in another forum: http://www.irv2.com/forums/f115/sea-level-gages-58472.html
He says that his Aladdin and SeeLevel system displays read the same. Perhaps the inconsistency that I am seeing between the two was fixed later in the development process.
If the Aladdin display accurately reflects the values transmitted by the SeeLevel sensors, I would definitely install the Aladdin interface. It puts all the data in one place, updated dynamically, unlike the SeeLevel 709 system, which requires that you press a button to see the level in each tank. I would install the required SeeLevel display in the wet bay (where I installed a second one anyway), which is a lot easier to get wiring to than is the interior of the coach. It is nice to have one SeeLevel display easily accessible in order to run diagnostics on the system.
In the case of our coach, I needed a display in the wet bay mostly to monitor the fresh water tank while filling it. It takes over 35 minutes to fill from empty.

When looking for parts its a good idea to use the forums search feature. I searched for the word sensor and got this old post.
Aladdin system for holding tank monitoring
The sensing probes for the holding tanks can go bad over time. They are expensive through Monaco, but can be purchased through the manufacture, Cost is 25.00 each at time of posting.

You should look under RV products and scroll down to RV Sensor.
Look for the probes at the end of the holding tanks usualy on the passenger side, its the one with the phone connector and wire attached.
