® ® 1 General 1.1 Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Maretron Tank Level Monitor (TLM100). Maretron has designed and built your monitor to the highest standards for years of reliable, dependable, and accurate service. The TLM100 is used to sense levels of liquid tanks using ultrasonic technology and transmit ® the liquid levels over the NMEA 2000 network. This allows you to observe tank levels ® anywhere on the vessel where there is an NMEA 2000 compatible display s

® ® then be received back at the sensor component. Using the speed of sound, it uses this time to calculate the distance between the face of the sensor component and the surface of the liquid (or the tank bottom if the tank is empty). The cone width of the beam transmitted by the TLM100 sensor component is 6°. Please refer to Figure 1 below for a diagram of the waves emitted and received by the TLM100. Please note that due to limitations of ultrasonic technology, the minimum depth that

TLM100 User’s Manual • The sensor component of the TLM100 must be mounted over the deepest part of the tank, in order to obtain accurate depth readings when the tank is empty or near empty. • In order to obtain accurate readings when the tank is empty, the tank bottom directly under the TLM100 must be both smooth and flat, so that the ultrasonic sound waves transmitted by the sender are reflected back to the sender for measurement. If the tank bottom under the TLM100 is sloped, groove

TLM100 User’s Manual software. Refer to the user’s manual of the particular product that will be used for configuring the TLM100 as these manuals provide detailed instruction on configuration procedures. 3.4 Tank Depth or Custom Calibration The TLM100 can be easily programmed for use with tanks of rectangular cross-section (see Section 3.4.1). For non-rectangular tank shapes, you can perform custom calibration so that the TLM100 accurately reflects fluid levels (see Section 3.4.2).

If operating in the NMEA 2000 Mode, check the connection to the ® output NMEA 2000 interface (see Section 2.5.1) and tighten if necessary. ® 2. Ensure that power is supplied to the NMEA 2000 network. Proper network power can be checked by measuring the voltage at an open tee between NET-S and NET-C. The voltage should be between 9 and 16 volts. 3. Ensure that both trunk line terminators are in place. Proper network termination
