Maretron's TLM150 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 the Maretron DSM250.
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 TLM200 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.The TLM100 is mounted directly to the top of tanks using the industry
standard SAE J1810 5-hole mounting pattern. The TLM100 can also be mounted to
tanks with threaded tank openings using optional adapters that included both a
1.5" NPT and a 1.25" BSP adapter. There are other important TLM100 optional
accessories including an airlock for black water applications, which keeps the
face of the ultrasonic transmitter from fouling and an optional focus tube to
permit use on boats with planing hulls, which is required if the vessel spends a
significant amount of time with the bow pitched up.
Most importantly, the TLM100 is NMEA 2000® certified so you can
view any and all tank levels anywhere on the vessel when using a compatible NMEA
2000® display. The TLM100 is another key component of Maretron's
N2KView® vessel monitoring and control system.
