Thank you for buying the Tank

 

Monitor VTM. This digital unit is state of the art in 

Tank monitoring. 
 

On the large, illuminated display you can read: 

 

 the voltage of up to 2 additional batteries  

• the current filling levels of up to 4 tanks and have the opportunity: - 
 

You recognize at a glance: 

• to set an alarm threshold for each tank (full or empty alarm) 
• to set an alarm threshold for each voltage (low and high level alarm)
