4 Description
The Tank Level Sensing Processor and Sensors from B&G offers a choice of 5-bolt tank insert
fittings in either brass, stainless steel or marine-grade aluminium, and can be mounted in a tank-
top position or on the tank side if space is limited. Using SWAGELOK fittings the tank unit is
connected to a Sensor Module by 7.5mm (¼ inch) diameter tubing. A length of 7.5mm (¼ inch)
diameter Nylon tube extends inside the tank from the tank fitting to the bottom of the tank and is
kept immersed by a stainless steel weight attached to its lower end.
The Sensor Module is connected through a Tank Level Sensing Processor and is connected to
the boat’s Hydra/Hercules Full Function Displays via the Fastnet databus cable.

5 Operation
The system calculates the contents of the tank by measuring the pressure at the bottom of the
tank as the fluid level changes.
A small air compressor, built into the sensor module, is automatically activated for
approximately 8 seconds every 10 minutes. This purges the air in the hose between the
sensor module and the bottom of the tank.
A pressure transducer inside the sensor module senses the pressure and converts it to an
electrical signal, which is transmitted to the B&G Tank Level Sensing Processor (TLSP), read
by the software and displayed to the user via the FFD.
