Product details

Notes on programming:

This tank sensor must be programmed to the corresponding tank and the display used before dispatch.

Please complete our data sheet ‘Programming tank sensor’ and send it to [email protected].

The universal ultrasonic sensor TS1 is usable for fuel, drinking water and sewage tanks. No false readings due to deposits on the sensor. Easy installation on standard SAE 5 tank flange.

We will programme the sensor according to the dimensions of your tank free of charge as an initial service (see data sheet in the download area). Can be connected to instruments from VDO, Faria, Teleflex, Wema, etc.
Please note: If the capacitive VDO tank sensor is to be replaced by the programmable TS1 ultrasonic tank sensor on an existing VDO dirty or fresh water instrument, the SVB voltage divider, item no. 15060 must also be purchased and installed.

Delivery contents: sensor, cork / Viton seal, 5 washers.

  • 10 - 32 volts (12 v / 24 v electrical system)
  • Tank depth: at least 200 mm, petrol 0 - 1100 mm, water or diesel 0 - 2000 mm
  • Distance from the middle of the sensor to the tank walls or splash guard: at least 150 mm
  • Programmable output for ohmic or DC values (10 - 180 ohms, 300 - 10 ohms, 240 - 33 ohms, 0 - 5 volts)
  • Temperature range: from 4 - 65°C
  • for metal and plastic tanks
  • Suitable for fuel, diesel, fresh and grey water and sewage
  • Attachment according to SAE 5 standard (5 holes in a bolt circle of 53 mm), Attention: does not fit in CAN tanks
  • Installation requirements: Tank opening at least 42 mm Ø / minimum distance to the tank sides 150 mm / mount parallel to the media surface
  • Optional M4 screws required for installation, length depends on tank / installation situation
  • Electrical connection: 3-wire, open cable end, approx. 15 cm long / red: PLUS vehicle electrical system, black: MINUS vehicle electrical system, green: sensor output to the instrument

Notes
  • The device has to be programmed by us. Please fill out the data sheet in our download section. This service is initially free of charge.
  • The medium itself, the temperature, the viscosity and the surface properties of the medium (e.g. air bubbles) can influence the measurement result.
  • In conjunction with SIMARINE Pico battery/system monitors, the output signal must be programmed to ‘0 - 5 volts’ and the TS1 must be connected to a voltage measurement input of the Pico.
  • Although some tanks from the manufacturer CAN have a connection fitting with SAE-5 flange/boreholes, the TS1 cannot be placed directly on the connection fitting as its housing would come into contact with the surrounding connections. Installation would be possible using adapter 21594. To do this, the threaded holes in the adapter must be drilled through and the TS1 including its seal fixed to the tank with appropriately long fastening screws.
    When programming the TS1, the value of the top limit must be set to at least 30 mm.

After I tried several different sensors for the tank display fresh water, I finally found an excellent donor. The fuel gauge now works very well. Thanks also to the team of SVB, which made the attitude of the donor.

The device is good, experience will tell, the voltage output goes through an emitter follower (transistor) and a 100 ohm resistor to a 4 to 20 mA VDO instrument that works. For the sensor, I have a sound guide tube 40mm installed on the tank sole, then it will not scrape for the sensor, the practice will show it. The 5-hole flange is a treat !!!

by Dr. E. Flag of Germany 6/22/2010
Can not use the sensor as intended because a lateral distance of at least 15 cm to the tank walls must be maintained. This is not possible with my tank. Would have to install it in the central inspection lid; that would be difficult to screw on then.

too much technology!?
The fuel sender was purchased and installed in September 2020 for over €200. It worked well until spring 2023, i.e. 2 12 years. After that, the instrument only showed FULL after switching on and, after an unsuccessful search for a fault, it was replaced in September 2023 with a simple lever actuator for €18. This worked straight away. Lt. SVB's warranty has expired and the TS1 cannot be repaired because it is cast. -(( great product v-(( You can just throw it away now.

Hello Luca, this Sensor will be programmed with your tank dimensions: https://www.svb.de/media/content/pdf/datasheets/products/Datenblatt_Ultraschall-Tankgeber.pdf // Yours SVB-Team.

Hi! Can I use this All-Purpose Tank Sensor TS1 with Simrad Fluid Level Sensor https://www.simrad-yachting.com/en-gb/simrad/type/accessories/sensors/fluid-level-sensor-fuel-0-pk/ in order to connect to Simrad IDS multifunctional display? Thank you

Hello Igor, No. the programmable values are not matching to expected value 33-240Ohm of Simradconverter. A more simple way were to integrate directly one of those sensors in to network https://www.svb24.com/en/kus-nmea2000-tank-sensor.html

please let me know if I can use All-Purpose Tank Sensor TS1 with existing WEMA instrument? Thank you, Dragan

Answer from SVB customer service

User image of Arne C.

Hello Dragon, if the WEMA-Instrument is working in resistance range 10-180 Ohm, 240-33 Ohm or 300-10 Ohm then yes. If it is working between 0-190 Ohm then only with limitations (not complete emptylevel or not complete fulllevel) because only 10-180 Ohm is programmable.
