Can you use VDO Capacitive Sender with GX Tank140

I have a yacht with four existing tanks - all with VDO capacitive tank senders (0-20mA).

These senders have only two wires - Sense and Ground.

Here is some information on the sender and connection to the analog meter.

I am strugling with the wiring on this one and not even sure they can be used with GX Tank 140, but if anyone can help that would be great.

As a side note, I would obviously prefer not to replace all the working senders, but if I need to what are people using?

Thanks

Craig

Hello, the manual from the Tank140 "said" 0-10V or 4-20mA.

I'm sure VDO use 4-20mA Sensors as well.

4mA empty

20mA full

Never heard about 0-20mA.

Should work.


Best regards Robert
