Connecting the Gas level Sensor
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
Connecting the Gas Solenoid
SavvyTanks is capable of controlling a remote gas solenoid for your underslung gas tanks. This is fully tested with Gasit and Propex tanks however works with any 12v solenoid.
To connect your solenoid, connect it to your 12v supply as per the manufactures instructions. To switch the supply from on/off, connect your Negative wire from the solenoid to either NO or NC (See Below) on the relays highlighted. Your ground or Negative wire from the power source should connect to COM.
Each of the relays has 3 connections:
NO (Normally Open) - The default setting is OFF, activating the switch will turn it ON.
COM (Common) - Connect to Ground
NC (Normally Closed) - The default setting is ON, activing the switch with turn if OFF.
