Maretron TLA100 NMEA 2000 Tank Level Adapter

The Maretron TLA100 NMEA 2000 Tank Level Adapter is an innovative device that bridges the gap between traditional fuel, water, and waste tank monitoring and the advanced NMEA 2000 marine networking standard. Users can now enjoy a streamlined experience in monitoring their vessel's tank levels with greater ease and accuracy.

Designed with versatility in mind, the TLA100 supports both the American (240-33 ohm) and European (10-180 ohm) standards for resistive tank senders, as well as being adjustable for resistance values ranging from 0 to 300 ohms. This unmatched compatibility ensures that a vast array of tank sensor types can be connected to the NMEA 2000 network.

The TLA100 stands out in its ability to accommodate irregular tank shapes. Most conventional tank senders are limited in capability, providing accurate measurements primarily for rectangular tanks. Maretron's TLA100 goes beyond this limitation, offering precise calibration for any tank shape onboard your vessel, ensuring that the displayed tank levels are as accurate as possible.

For those with a preference for traditional displays or with the intent to maintain the aesthetic of classic vessel instrumentation, the TLA100 harmonizes the old and the new. It can integrate seamlessly with analog gauges, merging the reliability and detail of digital networking with the appearance and familiarity of existing analog systems. This feature also means cost savings since there is no need to replace perfectly functioning gauges just to upgrade to an NMEA 2000 setup.

Key features of the Maretron TLA100 NMEA 2000 Tank Level Adapter include:

• Reliable and accurate tank level monitoring
• Inventory management through precise tank capacity measurement
• Fluid type discrimination for customizable monitoring

Frequently Asked Questions about the Maretron TLA100 NMEA 2000 Tank Level Adapter:

Q: What types of tank senders work with the TLA100?

A: The TLA100 is equipped to interface with a full range of resistive senders, supporting both American (240-33 ohm) and European (10-180 ohm) standards, and it can be calibrated for resistance values anywhere between 0 and 300 ohms. This broad compatibility caters to a diverse array of marine tank sender specifications.

Q: Can the TLA100 deliver accurate readings for tanks that are not conventionally shaped?

A: Absolutely. The Maretron TLA100 transcends the typical limitations of tank senders, which are restricted to rectangular tank dimensions, and offers precise calibration functionalities that cater to tanks of any geometry. This ensures that vessel operators know the precise content levels of even the most uniquely shaped tanks.

Q: Is it necessary to replace existing analog gauges to use the TLA100?

A: Not at all. One of the most attractive features of the TLA100 is its ability to work in tandem with current analog gauges. This compatibility permits vessel owners to modernize their monitoring systems without discarding their existing setups, fostering a blend of digital precision with the classic look and feel of analog instruments.

By incorporating the Maretron TLA100 into your marine setup, you benefit from a state-of-the-art, flexible, and precise tank level management system that integrates smoothly with your vessel's existing components while leveraging the power of NMEA 2000 technology.
