2.3.7 TM-180 Tank Dump
8 TM-180 Tank Dumps
The TM-180 module supports the following functions:
• Dump Valve Control: This allows manual control of
two waste dump valves, automatic dumping when a
tank level reaches a programmed level, or automatic
dumping when the valves automatically close due to
an empty tank.
• Valve Interlocks: Valves automatically close upon
vehicle movement. Only one valve will be open at a
time. If an automatic command to dump a tank is
received when the other tank is open, it is queued for
later processing. If a manual command is received, the
other valve is closed first.
• Sanicon: The Sanicon can run while either waste valve
is open. It continues to run for a programmed length of
time after closing the valve. While the dump valves
have an indicator circuit to indicate when they are
closed, the TM-180 hardware does not have the ability
to read this input. The unit always closes the valves on
startup, and then keeps track of the valve status
internally from there.
• Additive Pump: The TM-180 module supports an
additive pump. The additive is supplied in proportion
to the amount of waste in the black tank, disbursed in
increments of configurable size. The module also
supports a reservoir empty sensor.
2.3.8 SeeLevel II Tank Monitor
9 SeeLevel II Tank Monitor
The SeeLevel II interface module monitors the battery
level, as well as the fresh, gray, and black water tanks.
Some models also monitor LPG gas levels.
2.4 RVC Communications Network
Overview
RVC is a controlled area network (CAN)-based
communication profile for RVs. It was developed by the
Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA).
The Dometic Interact system of devices uses RVC data
networking, utilizing a twisted pair of wires terminated at
each end of the network with 120-Ohm resistors.
Terminating resistors are also populated on the
distribution boards.
Refer to “RVC Distribution Boards” on page 8 for
choosing the right distribution board for your application.
Every device on the network digitally transmits the RV
systems data via the RVC data pair, which is distributed by
the distribution boards and harnesses.
I
You can connect only one fresh water, one gray
water, and one black water tank to the module,
with one sensor each.
I
You can combine two sensor strips together for
taller tanks. Refer to the Garnet manual for sensor
integration information.
