Product details

The NS5 tank sensor series impresses with its reliable KUS quality. The NS5 sensors can be easily integrated into your NMEA2000 network without a converter or adapter and are suitable for petrol, diesel and water*. Available in different sizes.

Features:
  • Material: SS316 stainless steel
  • Standard SAE 5 hole pattern
  • Preset to gasoline/diesel (ID 00)
  • IP rating: IP67
  • Working voltage: 9 - 16 volts
  • Working temperature: -40°C to 85°C
  • Cable length: 460 mm
  • Measuring points on the sensor rods: every 21 mm
  • NBR seal
  • Height above the tank: 20 mm.

*Note
Do not use the level sensor in conjunction with aluminium bolt-on flanges, as this may cause corrosion.

These tank sensors can also be used as water tank sensors. To do this, the sensors must be programmed by us with the corresponding ID.
  • ID 00 = Gasoline / Diesel (preset)
  • ID 01 = Fresh water
  • ID 02 = Waste water

You can carry out the programming yourself using the KUS programming tool. (SVB no. 25039) .

Alternatively we can do the programming for you, for this we charge our programming fee.

Everything came quickly
It would be desirable to have detailed instructions on the NMEA 2000 encoder and instrument configuration and information about the KUS hotline

Good encoder - but difficult to integrate into the Garmin system
The encoder makes a good and solid impression - first tests (with water as the medium) show a perfect function.
Unfortunately, the sensor on a Garmin GPSmap7412 is only recognized as a fuel sensor, so far I have not been able to integrate it as a black water sensor. Here the problem is not yet solved!

Works fine in square tanks
I got two of these sensors. One in the fresh water tank and one in the fuel tank. They both work fine but there is no possibility to calibrate the sensor for non square tanks. That would be a nice feature as tanks in boats often have odd shapes.
Also the length given for the different models is not exact, they might be a bit longer than stated.

NEMA 2000 Tank Sensor
Product recommendations are excellent. Item not installed yet but previous products performed well
Product is good, service is bad
The sender does what it's supposed to – display a fill level (4 stars – at over €100, it's a bit pricey).

Thanks to the N2K connection, installation was quick and easy. The SAE 5 hole pattern also fits, except that my tank had a plastic ring that I had to cut. This has nothing to do with the product itself, but rather with my existing tank.

Programming service: 0 stars!

The sender needed to be programmed – but it arrived without any programming. This caused some confusion.

After contacting them, I was promised a callback – which never came! Instead, I received an email – return it! I called again, and SVB promised a callback – this time, too, they didn't keep their word! After the second delivery, I couldn't install it (the boat is now in the water, and I can no longer access the tank), but I could only test it at an accessible point on the N2K network – now it also displays the fresh water level.

Can this be installed outside? The tank is located on the deck and will receive bot seawater and rain.

Dear Teemu, the encoders are IP67 protected. "The IP67 certification defines on the one hand that the device is dustproof and on the other hand that it is protected against temporary submersion in water up to a maximum depth of 1 metre for a maximum of 30 minutes."

Hi, I have to questions: 1) Can you please share a mechanical drawing for the 30cm sensor? I need to know the sensor head thickness (including the flange). 2) Are the black flange and screws visible in picture n.4 included with the sensor? Thank you!
