Choose compatible tank senders

GX Tank 140 reads four 0–10 V or 4–20 mA transmitters through a Victron GX device. A resistive fuel sender cannot be connected directly. USB powers the interface; the external VIN terminals supply the sensors on channels 1 and 2, not the interface itself. Channels 3 and 4 have an isolated 24 V sensor supply, limited to 20 mA per channel. See power arrangements, PDF p. 5.

Wire the signal type correctly

For a three-wire voltage transmitter, supply goes to Vout, signal to In, and return to GND. A two-wire current transmitter connects between Vout/24 V and In; the channel GND terminal is unused in that arrangement. Select the actual input type in the GX settings. The same-looking connector supports two different circuits, so copying a voltage-sender drawing for a current loop produces misleading readings. See voltage wiring, PDF p. 6 and current-loop wiring, PDF p. 7.

Protection and placement

Check transmitter consumption before using the internal 24 V supplies. The 20 mA limit belongs to each sensor supply; it is not a published consumption figure for the complete GX system. Protect an external VIN feed for its cable and sensor circuit. Keep the USB connection accessible and route sender cables away from noisy power wiring. No universal VIN fuse is stated in the cited manual.

Calibrate and investigate fixed readings

Configure tank function, capacity and transmitter endpoints in the GX device, then compare empty and full readings against known levels. A current-loop reading stuck around 40–55% can result from an overloaded sensor supply: the manual describes a tripped protection state that still passes some current. Power down, check wiring and load, and restore power after correction; do not compensate for this fault by changing calibration. See troubleshooting, PDF p. 14.

Build it out

Connect it to the rest of your system.

Add GX Tank 140 to your diagram, then connect your batteries, chargers and loads. Crimp calculates cable sizes and checks the connections as you draw.

Every cable you draw there is sized against ABYC E-11, from the same tables as the reference on this page.

Technical reference

Specifications, terminals and supporting parts.

Check the model, ratings and connection points against your own unit before choosing installation hardware.

Catalog specification

USB powers interface; VIN only powers channels 1/2. Four voltage/current-loop sender circuits and isolated 24 V channels are not a generic DC leaf load.

Supporting parts

  1. A lug or terminal to match each post on the part
  2. Strain relief and boots so nothing chafes or shorts
  3. Cable and fuses sized once the whole system is drawn

Check stud sizes, fuse type, run length and how warm the space gets against the gear you actually have before you order.

Method & provenance

Where the specifications and sizing come from.

Manufacturer specifications describe the equipment. Crimp calculates cable results from the circuit and assumptions you enter.

From the maker

What the catalog says

Manufacturer, model, ratings and which terminal does what come from the catalog. A newer revision, or the nameplate on the unit in your hand, can say something different — when it does, the nameplate wins.

ABYC E-11

What Crimp worked out

Sized against ABYC E-11 — the US reference, and what Transport Canada accepts as an alternative to TP 1332 for pleasure craft under 24 m. The run length and the current above are what drive the result. Crimp doesn't know how warm your space gets; draw the cable inside an engine-bay zone on the canvas and it sizes for the heat.
