Claim 0:
1. An electronic gauge assembly being operatively connectable to a liquid level sensor probe associated with a tank for holding a volume of liquid, the electronic gauge assembly comprising:
a mounting base adapted for connection to the tank;
a housing connected to the mounting base tank, the housing having a rear wall and a continuous side wall extending forwardly from a perimeter of said rear wall;
an opening formed in said continuous side wall;
said rear wall having a first depression portion formed in a central portion of said rear wall, and a second depression portion formed in the rear wall at least adjacent to the first depression portion and extending to the side wall of the housing in alignment with said opening to receive an electrical interface connection;
at least one retainer mounted on the rear wall and located in the first depression portion;
a main printed circuit board (PCB) located in the housing and having a front side and a back side;
a sensor PCB spaced from the main PCB, the sensor PCB being retained in the first depression portion by the at least one retainer;
a first electronic display connected to the front side of the main PCB and having a first display portion for displaying a liquid level or volume condition within the tank;
a first electronic sensor mounted on the sensor PCB and being couplable to the liquid level sensor probe such that a change in the liquid level sensor probe due to a change in liquid level causes a change in an electronic state of the first electronic sensor;
a first processor connected to the main PCB, the first processor being in communication with the first electronic sensor, the first processor including means for determining a first liquid level condition within the tank based on the change in electronic state of the first electronic sensor;
a front bezel connected to the housing to thereby retain the main PCB and the first electronic display therebetween; and
a first transceiver located on the back side of said main PCB and in communication with the first processor for transmitting information associated with the tank to a remote device operable by a user, and for receiving information from a remote device for controlling display information on the first electronic display.
