Venus GX - Tank input reverse

How do I reverse the displayed tank levels? They show the opposite right now. When full, they show 0% and when empty they show 100%.

My digital indicator guages show the readings accurately. Just would like to have the Venus match that.

Thanks!

I know this isn't answering your question but did you just parallel your sensor with both your digital gauges as well as the Venus inputs. I have and analog gauge that is power with 12V through the ignition and was wondering if you attached the your sender to both the S terminal of your gauge and the + input of the Venus. I don't want to damage the input on the venus if it supplies its own voltage to the sender.

Have you set them to the correct standard?
The options are European 0-180 Ohm or US 240-30 Ohm - they operate in reverse from one another.

On the "Device list" page select your tank -> Setup -> Standard and then choose Euro or US depending upon what type of senders you have.

It appears the sensors installed in my trailer don't exactly match either of those, but the Euro is close enough, it's just reversed. Is there a way you can enter your own empty/full resistance values? Seems like that would fix it.

T0mills

actually I have the same issue with my boats fuel sensor.

it is reversed,

It looks like the sensor, probably a float, like mine was mounted backwards

so now I know with a 90% full tank I only have 10 % and filling it up, does Mae my tank go 'empty'

So sorry to say you are not unique
