Ekrano GX Water Level Sensor

I have recently upgraded my camper to use Victron Components. Everything is working great; however, I am struggling attempting to figure out how, or if, I can use the existing tank sensors in the trailer to connect to the Victron for monitoring. I am fairly new to this modification and I am not sure that the sensor is incompatible or I just don’t understand what to expect in it’s connection.

There are a total of three sensors (2 fresh water and 1 grey tank) that are all the same. The sensor that is installed is this one here

What would be the correct way to get this to connect to the Victron connect, or am I just spinning my wheels?

I keep finding things that are attempting to point me towards a Tank GX but I am not so sure that is what I need.

There are 3 common level sender signal types. Resistance based meters (0-240 Ohm I think) can be connected to the level inputs on the Ekrano. Voltage based (0-10V) and current based (4-20mA) need to be connected to the Victron GX Tank 140 device, which then connects to the Ekrano by USB.

I looked at the page you linked to but this did not state what type it is. I searched a bit and another Redarc gauge was listed as resistance based.

You need to confirm with the seller or Redarc what the measurement type is and what range of values. Then read the Ekrano or GX Tank 140 manuals.

Thank you for that. I will reach out to the vendor.
