Tank monitoring

FPM100

Maretron's Fluid Pressure Monitor is used to adapt up to six pressure transducers to the NMEA 2000® network (pressure transducers sold separately). This allows you to observe fluid pressures and tank levels anywhere on the vessel where there are NMEA 2000® compatible displays. With the appropriate transducer, the FPM100 reports either pressure or vacuum for a variety of applications including water pressures, oil pressures, hydraulic pressures, or system vacuum for detecting clogged filters.

The FPM100 also has a tank level mode, so that fluid levels in a tank can be monitored via a pressure transducer mounted at the bottom of the tank and transmitted over the NMEA 2000® network. This allows you to monitor the fluid levels in tanks that are extremely deep, have internal structures, or are otherwise not suited for other tank level sensing technologies. In this mode, the FPM100 can be calibrated for irregular tank shapes so that you know the true level of the tanks.

The FPM100 is NMEA 2000® certified so you can view any and all information anywhere on the vessel using a compatible NMEA 2000® display. The FPM100 is a key component of Maretron's N2KView® vessel monitoring and control system.

Features:

  • Adapts up to six pressure transducers to the NMEA 2000® network
  • Each channel independently programmed to match pressure transducer characteristics
  • Each channel independently programmed in pressure/vacuum mode or tank level mode
  • In Tank Level Mode, measures levels of extremely deep or irregularly shaped tanks

Applications:

  • Water Pressure
  • Atmospheric Pressure
  • Compressed Air Pressure
  • Hydraulic Pressure
  • Steam Pressure
  • User Defined Pressure Sources
  • Fuel Tank Level / Volume Remaining
  • Fresh Water Tank Level / Volume Remaining
  • Waste Water Tank Level / Volume Remaining

TLA100

The TLA100 is used to adapt commercially available resistive tank senders to NMEA 2000® network. This allows you to observe tank levels anywhere on the vessel where there is an NMEA 2000® compatible display such as Maretron's N2KView® vessel monitoring system, or Maretron's DSM250 / DSM410 color graphics displays.

The TLA100 is compatible with both the American standard (240-33 ohm) and the European standard (10-180 ohm) resistive senders. In fact, the TLA100 can be calibrated for any resistance between 0 and 300 ohms.

Unlike most tank senders that only work with rectangular tanks, the TLA100 can be calibrated for irregular tank shapes so you know the true level of the tanks. You can also use the TLA100 with analog gauges so you don't have to get rid of existing gauges to enjoy the advantages of digitally networked information.

Features:

  • Tank Level
  • Tank Capacity
  • Fluid Type

Aplications:

  • Fuel Tanks
  • Fresh Water Tanks
  • Grey Water Tanks
  • Black Water Tanks
  • Live Well Tanks
  • Oil Tanks

TLM100

Maretron's TLM100 is used to sense fluid levels of tanks by using ultrasonic technology. Ultrasonic, or sound waves, are transmitted via the TLM100 mounted at the top of the tank and the flight times of the sound waves to and from the fluid are measured much like a depth sensor. What this means for you is that there are no difficult to handle long probes protruding into the tank, which often foul and/or corrode. Once the TLM100 calculates and transmits the fluid level over the NMEA 2000® network, you can observe tank levels anywhere on the vessel where there is an NMEA 2000® compatible display such as Maretron's N2KView® vessel monitoring system, or by Maretron's DSM250 / DSM410 color graphics displays.

The TLM100 is capable of sensing fluid levels in tanks up to 40" (1.02m) in depth. It can be used for diesel, fresh water, waste water, black water, and oil tanks (see TLM150 for gasoline tanks or FPM100 for deeper tanks). Unlike most tank senders that only work with rectangular tanks, the TLM100 can be calibrated for irregular tank shapes so you can know the true fluid level in your tanks.

Applications:

  • Diesel Tanks
  • Fresh Water Tanks
  • Live Well Tanks
  • Waste Water Tanks
  • Black Water Tanks

TLM150

Maretron's TLM150 is used to sense gasoline fluid levels of tanks using ultrasonic technology. Ultrasonic, or sound waves, are transmitted via the TLM150 mounted at the top of the tank and the flight times of the sound waves to and from the fluid are measured much like a depth sensor. What this means for you is that there are no difficult to handle long probes protruding into the tank, which often foul and/or corrode. Once the TLM150 calculates and broadcast the fluid level over the NMEA 2000® network, you can observe tank levels anywhere on the vessel where there is an NMEA 2000® compatible display such as Maretron's N2KView® vessel monitoring system, or by Maretron's DSM250 / DSM410 color graphics displays.

The TLM150 is capable of sensing gasoline levels in tanks up to 24" (0.61m) in depth (see TLM100 for fluid types other than gasoline in tanks up to 40" or the FPM100 for tanks over 40"). Unlike most tank senders that only work with rectangular tanks, the TLM150 can be calibrated for irregular tank shapes so you can know the true fluid level in your tanks.

Applications:

  • Gasoline/Petrol Tanks
