Pleasure!
And BTW inverting white and grey wires is completely irrelevant. What you need to have the 2 wires 3-180 ohm slot working is bridging the first and the last pins on the correspondent 5 pins water slot. I have also tried the same with water slot nr 1, which did not work correctly (I guess it is a problem related to my own panel) as it was continously and swifly switching from zero to accurate reading. |

Much appreciated, this seems very useful progress.
Could you summarise the new gauge (type and length), the wiring at the gauge end that eventually worked, and the wiring at the panel end that eventually worked? We are in a 345 that needs this enhancement, but some of the gauges and panel on ours are different, so understanding what worked for you will be invaluable. We have the similar 5 cable connection as you show. Ta.

I used the TGW 300 made by Philippi (as suggested by Fendant).
If you look at the photos you can see the wires at both ends; I used the white and the grey and ignored the others. What really made the trick was the bridge I have made to connect the first and the fifth pins in the 5 pins water slot. If your panel is arranged differently then you should get the updated handbook. Cheers, Rich |

Thank you for this useful information. For supply reasons, I plan to use the Wema sensor (https://wema.co.uk/products/fuel-sender?variant=29703058311) which can be used for both water and diesel - I have a H345 as well. A few questions:
1. On the water tank, did you use the same spot to mount the new sensor or did you drill a new hole? If you used the original spot, did it fit well with the flange? If you drilled a new hole in the tank, did you then remove the “sensor pins” from the original sensor? Any pictures? 2. RICHZ wrote that he bridged the first and the last pin of the 5 pins water slot. I will follow this, but why is it necessary since another slot is being used? 3. The Wema sensor can be used also for diesel. What length did you select and is it being screwed or bolted in the diesel tank? Thanks in advance :-) |

hi Tom,
Below my replies: 1) I used the same spot; you have to remove the old sensor (I used a pipe wrench piers to unscrew it) and then I made a new hole which fitted the size of the sensor flange 2) you need to bridge the two pins (as shown in my photo) to ‘instruct’ the board to read the new slot 3) I used the TGT250 from Philippi. This Philippi sensor is bolted but you ned the SAE adapter to use the existing holes. I hope this helps Richz

Can you explain to me how you removed this from the WE menu? I want to remove all tank levels and battery voltage if possible.

Knut, my boat is still on the hard 2 hrs away. So I hope to recall the procedure right from memory.
You have 3 button below the LED display: up, down, menu ( to switch to the levels ) The 1st menu tree has three different levels. Level 1 shows the sensor, Level 2min and max alarms, Level 3 is for setting the alarms Level 1 is the from top engine, service, bow, stern batteries Then follows fuel tank 1 and 2 Then folllows fresh water tank 1 and 3 Then follow a couple ( 3 or 4 ? ) pf grey and black water tanks Finally I think you can switch from German to English When you are on this menu level press and hold together ( here I am not so sure = a) up and down arrow simultaneously b) up, down and menu button simultaneously This will bring you to another level where you have the list of all sensors and you can enable/disable via the menu button each sensor. Finally you have only the list in the display of your enabled sensors ( in my case only engine,service and bow battery ). All tank sensors are wired to my Philippi tank monitor. Good Luck!
