2.4.1.6 Installation on a Tank with a 1.25”BSP or 1.5”NPT Threaded Tank Fitting and
Airlock
Installation of the TLM100 on a tank with a 1.25” BSP or 1.5” NPT threaded tank fitting with an
airlock is identical to installation with a focus tube, except that the trimming step is eliminated.
Please refer to Section 2.4.1.5 for details of the mounting procedure.
2.4.2 Mounting the TLM100 Interface Component
The actual mounting of the TLM100 interface component is not critical and the unit can be
mounted in any orientation. The TLM100, NMEA 2000
®
connector, and cable are all
waterproof (rated IP67 – protected against temporary immersion in water) so you can mount
the unit virtually anywhere. Once you have located a suitable mounting location, you can
secure the TLM100 interface component by placing wire ties with screw eyes on the attached
cables next to the TLM100 interface component. Do not use threadlocking compounds
containing methacrylate ester, such as Loctite Red (271), as they will cause stress cracking of
the plastic enclosure.
