+ | ===== Frequently asked questions ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Q1: Can I configure a custom name? === | ||
+ | |||
+ | No. The VE.Can Tank Sender Adapter does not accept configuring a custom name. The method available to distinguish from one tank to another are the instances. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This is unlike the GX Tank 140 and as well as inputs available directly on the Cerbo GX: there it is possible to configure a name. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Q2: Why is this tank sender adapter so expensive? === | ||
- | ===== DISQUS ===== | + | That is because its expensive to produce. For lower cost options, consider a GX Device with direct tank inputs, such as the Cerbo GX. And to extend those, consider our GX Tank 140. Note that the GX Tank 140 takes 0-10V and 4-20mA senders, not resistive. |
