SeeLeveL Smart RV - SE78VR

  • Monitoring System
  • Water Tanks
  • SeeLeveL
  • Digital Display

Sensor adheres to the outside of your RV's holding tank to measure its fluid levels, and it sends those readings to a SeeLeveL monitor (sold separately) inside your RV. Can be cut or stacked to fit the height of your tank.


Features:

  • Sensor measures how much fluid is in your RV's holding tank
    • Hardwires to SeeLeveL holding tank monitor (sold separately)
  • Updates reading with every 1/4" change in your tank level
  • Mounts to the outside of the tank rather than using an interior probe
    • Prevents false readings caused by accumulating debris
  • Coated with flexible epoxy layer to protect circuitry
  • Can be trimmed every 1" for shorter tanks
    • Stack a second sensor (sold separately) for taller tanks
  • Installs easily - clean tank surface, remove backing, and stick to side of holding tank
    • Tabs on top of sensor are trimmed to indicate which tank it is on
    • Bus wiring lets all sensors splice together to one line
    • Existing wiring from your old tank monitor system can be used


Specs:

  • Application: 1 sensor can accommodate 5-1/2" - 14" tall tanks
    • Stack additional sensor to accommodate tanks up to 26" tall
  • Dimensions: 2-3/8" wide x 12" tall
  • Resolution: 3/8"
  • Operating temperature: 32 F - 140 F
  • 1 Year warranty


Notes:

  • This sensor is fully compatible with all monitors for reading 2, 3, or 4 tanks. It can read up to 7 tanks if your RV had the SeeLeveL Soul system installed from the factory.
  • SeeLeveL tank monitoring systems are not compatible with metal tanks.

Advanced RV Tank Monitoring

Traditional tank monitors have a reputation for being unreliable. With probes mounted inside, they get gunked up and send false readings. When you have only a handful of them, they only measure in quarter increments at best. When you're keeping an eye on how much fresh water you have, the difference between 25% full and empty means a lot, and that inaccuracy can be a problem.


The SeeLeveL tank monitoring system uses technology that can sense fluid levels from the outside of the tank. The sensors' flexible circuit board sticks in place and measures along its entire height. This makes it accurate in single-digit increments.


This sensor has a resolution of 3/8". This means, for example, if the water level in your fresh-water tank drops by 3/8", the monitor will update its reading. If you're used to using probe sensors, just imagine having one of those installed every 3/8" on the side of your tank. That's how accurate it will be using this system.


Easy Install

If you're comfortable with basic wiring, installing the SeeLeveL monitoring system should be a straightforward DIY project.


A single 9" sensor can measure a tank as tall as 10-1/2". For a shorter tank, the sensor can be trimmed. If your tank is taller than 10-1/2", use a taller sensor or stack 2 sensors. This table will tell you which sensor setup is recommended based on tank height:


Sensor Options
Tank Height Best Sensor Option
3-1/2" - 10-1/2" Single 9"
10-1/2" - 14" Single 12"
14" - 19-1/2" 2 stacked 9"
19-1/2" - 26" 2 stacked 12""
Part numbers: Part numbers: 9" (SE78VR), 12" (SE88VR)


To get the best resolution for the highest accuracy, choose the right setup. The segments along the left side of the sensor have 4 read points each. The more of those segments you have, the better the accuracy. Even with the lowest resolution possible, you will get tank readings accurate within single digit percentages.


Cutting Sensor Tabs For Installation

You don't need to be a computer genius to install the sensors either. The sensors are programmed by using scissors to trim the tabs at the top. By altering the circuits, the sensor can tell the display exactly where it is. The included instruction manual will tell you how to trim the tabs during installation. Be very careful when trimming these tabs. The process is not reversible and incorrect installation isn't covered by warranty.


Once you've got your sensors selected and prepped by cutting the tabs, you're ready to install. You're going to want to make sure you thoroughly clean the sides of the tank first. Then, temporarily tape them down. Splice together all signal wires and all ground wires from the sensors, and run those two wires through your RV to the monitor inside. If you're replacing an old tank monitoring system, the existing wiring can be used. Now, run tests to make sure the system works properly. If that all looks good, the sensors are attached to the tanks with the 3M adhesive backing.


Reads up to 7 Tanks

This sensor is the new-and-improved design that is fully compatible with 709 Series tank monitors for measuring as many as 4 tanks. If you've purchased a SeeLeveL monitor for reading your fresh, gray, black, and galley tanks, this sensor will give you the same performance or better, depending on your setup.


This design was also made to read up to 7 tanks with the SeeLeveL Soul system. If your RV has a SeeLeveL Soul tank monitoring system installed from the factory, this is the sensor you need to get if you need a replacement. Older versions of these sensors may not work for you.


Bottom line: No matter what monitor you are using, this sensor will work.

i have had no issues

After doing some you-tube research and chatting with the SeeLevel tech team, I felt safe that my unresponsive tank level reading was caused by a faulty tank sensor. This fixed the problem.
I am surprised, and delighted, that eTrailer has expanded their inventory to include RV parts. As always, great selection, helpful videos, fair pricing, and quick shipping all make for a swell experience. Thank you!



by:

As installed, the sensors work quite well. The instructions were easy to follow. I do wish that the sensors were able to be cut for a more precise measure, e.g. rather than at one inch intervals, perhaps one-half an inch would provide increased granularity of the tanks contents.



by:

Robert Thank you were perfect with helping me. When I'm ready I'll send you a small video of how it was all completed for the strips and the New Controller.

Thanks again,



by:

Super fast delivery! Easy to install, instructions not included with the sensor but I could find them online quickly. I only mention this so you can grab them before you start.



by:

Great product, only issue I had was no wiring diagram was sent with the panel or levels

  • Correct Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit For 2023 Keystone Bullet Premier 25RKPR
    Hey Chad; since your tandem 3,500 lb axles have a 3" diameter you need the Roadmaster Comfort Ride Leaf Spring Suspension Kit w/ Shock Absorbers # RM-2460-2560. The kit comes with everything you need for installation aside from standard tools. Also, this system is compatible with the MORryde X-Factor Crossmember # MR33WR you were looking at if you want to add them to the front and rear hangers. The one thing I would do is look at your hangers to make sure there is nothing like plumbing...

  • SeeLeveL Monitor and Sensors For a 2020 Jayco 310RLTS With Multiple Grey Tanks
    You are going to need a different monitoring panel for the SeeLeveL sensors since your current probe style sensors like the # T21301VP are only going to show open and close readings since each tank will have multiple sensors. You will want to use the Monitor # SE57VR since you have 2 grey tanks. I have included a list of the different height sensors we offer that are compatible with this monitor. 9" Sensor # SE88VR 12" Sensor # SE78VR 16" Sensor # SE27VR

  • Will SeeLevel Sensors Work With OEM Water Tank Sensor Monitors
    The SeeLevel systems will require you to replace your current monitor in order to properly read the sensors and operate. There are quite a few different combinations of monitors and sensor strips so I'd like to know exactly what you're needing for your RV. There are monitors that come with propane sensors, water pump switches, Bluetooth, etc. I've attached a video below where I install the SeeLeveL RV Holding Tank Monitor - Fresh, Gray, Black - Multiplex Compatible # SE97VR in a trailer...

    We have the 710-AR and 710-ES2 SeeLevel sensors, though I was unable to find any 701AR or 701ES2. If you were referring to the 710-AR and 710-ES2 you would need the following: - 710-AR: SeeLeveL Sensor # SE88VR - 710-ES2: SeeLeveL Sensor # SE78VR

  • Can SeeLevel Tank Sensors Be Mounted On Water Tanks Under A Van
    Yes, the SeeLeveL Sensors # SE27VR can be used on a tank mounted under a van. You'll just want to make sure that you cut the sensors to the correct length for the tank, and only cut in the specified points seen in the picture below. You'll want to cut it as close to the tank size as possible but cutting parts off lowers the accuracy since you'll be cutting off sensors. For example, the # SE78VR has 8 sensors and would essentially be able to tell you to an eighth how full the tank is....

  • Is There a SeeLeveL RV Holding Tank Monitor for Fresh, Galley, Bath and Black Tanks
    We do have the SeeLeveL RV Holding Tank Monitor # SE84VR which monitors fresh, gray, black, and galley tanks. This is the closest we have to your fresh, galley, bath, and black tanks. Your bath would just be labeled gray instead of bath. This monitor would hardwire to SeeLeveL Sensors for RV Holding Tank Monitor # SE78VR.

  • Will SeeLevel Work on Schedule 40 PVC Pipe
    I reached out to SeeLevel who said the SeeLeveL Sensor for RV Holding Tank Monitor # SE78VR will work on schedule 40 PVC pipe but it has to be at least 3 inches in diameter. They also said didn't specify the exact signal type but said it would not work with a micro-computer and would only work with one of their monitors like the SeeLeveL RV Holding Tank Monitor # SE94VR.

  • Is The SeeLeveL Sensor for RV Holding Tanks Compatible With Metal Tanks?
    I went ahead and checked out the SeeLeveL Sensor for RV Holding Tank Monitor # SE78VR and unfortunately they are not going to be compatible with metal tanks. These sensors will work on most plastic or polyethylene holding tanks that contain water-soluble fluids. And so, in order to use these sensors, you will need to change out your holding tanks unfortunately.

  • Can The SeeLevel Sensor # SE78VR Be Used On A 7-Tank System
    Hey Scott, This sensor is fully compatible with all monitors for reading 2, 3, or 4 tanks. It can read up to 7 tanks if your RV had the SeeLeveL Soul system installed from the factory. The sensor strip itself # SE78VR isn't the factor here, it's whether or not your trailer has SeeLevel's "Soul" system already installed on it from the factory. The strip itself could be added to a 7-tank system but the SeeLevel controllers we offer max out at 4 tanks.

  • Can SeeLeveL Sensors Work with Redarc RedVision Total Vehicle Management System
    The SeeLeveL Sensor # SE78VR is designed to be used with the SeeLeveL RV Holding Tank Monitor # SE44VR and won't work with the Redarc RedVision Total Vehicle Management System with Manager30 # RED79FR. The Redarc setup is meant more for monitoring and capitalizing on power usage while the SeeLeveL system is meant to monitor tank levels. There is a little crossover in that the SeeLeveL monitor can detect battery voltage, but that's about it - nothing near what the Redarc can do.

  • Need Gray Tank Sensor For 2023 Fleetwood Discovery 38W
    Hello Ron, thanks for getting in touch. We do offer gray water tank sensors like the SeeLeveL Sensor for RV Holding Tank Monitor # SE78VR. This is a 12" long sensor pad so it does not sound like this is what you have. This is the only tank sensor we offer currently. If you happen to know the brand of your sensors, let me know and that should help to track them down. Otherwise your best bet will be to reach out to a Fleetwood dealership to see what they can recommend.
