"TankEyes " on 450 LXi
Good Morning,
Anyone know of the manufacturer that supplied "TankEyes" which was used in the 450s' as the tank level indicators.

Thank you,
Ross

Hi Ross,

I'm sure one of the M450 guys will chime in soon. In the meantime I searched for "tank monitor" on ebay and an almost endless list of suppliers came up. Yours might be one of them. Do you have a pic of your control panel? There's some pretty cool technology out there.

Well I gave it a good solid 5 minute college try on Ebay, Google, and everything else and I can't find a panel that looks like that. (just trying to find something that has the same number of leds, location, and pattern)... nothing! Sad

The one in the galley is just a repeater from the one in the water bay. Switching to a different brand would be PIA as there are 9 "Levels" - Shame to lose that accuracy.

Yes already done. Apparently the mfg name is not the same as the device. They have disappeared.

Removing both...No print or numbers.Nada. On the tank with the probs, there is a powered 'optitron" level switch by Dwyer Industries ,indiana. I took pics when i was at the coach.The site shows nothing like the Tankeyes.

No, the M380 uses a 4-level indicator identical to the one in my (your) '90.

Interesting that tankEyes shows "tm" because a trademark search doesn't turn it up, just Tankeye, belonging to the GOAD company and not related to this type of monitor.
