1 General Information
1.1 Purpose
The tank monitor VTM can only be operated with low voltage DC 8-32V. It is designed for use on
yachts and may only be operated in closed rooms that are protected from rain, humidity, dust and
condensation. Never use the tank monitor in places where there is a risk of explosion due to gas or
dust. The tank monitor is not suitable for outdoor installation.
1.2 Scope of delivery
• Tank Monitor VTM
• 3 Plug-in terminals (MVSTB 2,5- 2- and 3-and 9-pole)
• 2 fuse holder ASH1 incl. fuse FSS 1A
• This operating manual
1.3. Recommended sensors (to be ordered separately)
To measure the fluid level, we recommend the immersion tube sensors of the TGT or TGW series for
fuel and fresh water as well as the ultrasonic sensors UTV for waste holding tanks and the flow rate
sensor DFS (fresh water only). Please use for deeper tanks up to 200 cm and very precise
measurements the pressure sensor TDS200 (water/diesel/grey/black water) or TDN200 (water).
However, these sensors are not included in the scope of delivery.
Sensors from other manufacturers can also be connected.
The Monitor is configured In SETUP to the connected sensors. It is also possible to adapt it to the
tank geometry in order to display the actual tank contents correctly.
Please note: only with the flow meters DFS is the liter display accurate, as here also liters
are measured. With all other encoders, this is only a conversion of the measured fill level
and can never be liter-specific depending on the accuracy of the measurement!
