6. Maretron 2 2 Choosing a Mounting Location The primary function of the TLM200 is to sense levels of liquid in tanks using ultrasonic technology and transmit this information over NMEA 2000 network so that tank level information can be viewed anywhere on the vessel where there is an NMEA 2000 compatible display The TLM200 tank level monitor consists of two parts 1 the sensor which mounts onto the top of the tank and contains the ultrasonic fuel measurement components and 2 the interface which converts the measured data into NMEA 2000 format and transmits the data over the NMEA 2000 network The interface component of the TLM200 may be mounted anywhere subject to the length of the cable connecting it to the sensor component Page 2 Revision 1 1 Maretron The sensor component of the TLM200 must be mounted on the tank whose level is to be monitored The mounting hole through which the TLM200 measures fluid level should be located as close to the center of the tank both front to back and side to side as possible This will ensure maximum accuracy of reading in the event that the vessel experiences pitch and roll 2 2 1 Effect of Pitch and Roll on the TLM200 Assuming that the TLM200 sensor component is mounted on a flat tank top the TLM200 will operate correctly as long as the vessel does not experience pitch and or roll in excess of 6 for an extended period of time This can occur on a sailboat when the boat is heeled o
