2 OPERATION
2.1 Tank level monitoring
The Tanklevel Interface is able to monitor any
volume level in your system, using any powered or
non powered electric sensor that complies with the
specifications. A typical application of this interface
is monitoring the water or fuel tank level in a ship.
For this purpose, a float sensor must be mounted.
2.2 MasterBus functions
The table below shows the Interface MasterBus
functions. These functions can be visualised by
means of a MasterView display or the free
downloadable MasterAdjust software. See
www.mastervolt.com

Sensor type The sensor signal is a voltage, current or
resistance.
Resistive Resistive, current,
voltage
Sensor power Option for powered sensors. Smart: the sensor is
switched On only if necessary. * See below
Off Off, On, Smart
Sensor damping Sensor fluctuations can be damped to different
levels. The heavier the damping, the larger the
fluctuations that are damped.
Light Light, medium , heavy
Tank type This option allows for indicating the fluid type
contained in the tank or its filling type. Example: a
fresh water tank empties on use and a grey water
tank fills on use.

must take place.
100 % 0-100%
Almst.empty alrm Volume percentage at which the alarm Almost
Empty must take place.
0 % 0-100%
Calibration This interface is calibrated by determining at
which level the tank is full and empty. The
interface calculates the tank level by interpolation.
- Tank full, Tank empty
* For Smart powering, your sensor must be able to
produce a reliable signal within 100 milliseconds,
regardless the tank conditions. If you are not sure,
choose On first, calibrate and read the
corresponding AD values. Choose Smart next and
calibrate again. If the AD values compare well, your
sensor is convenient for Smart powering.
3 INSTALLATION
Insert the MasterBus cables, then connect the
sensor cables to the screw terminal 3 (if necessary) ,
4 and 5, see below. Finally connect the battery
cables (1, 2) if necessary.
