3 Configuring the TLM100
The TLM100 has several configurable parameters, which are shown below including the
default values. If you are not using the default values, then you will need to refer to the
corresponding section for configuring the TLM100 appropriately.
1. Tank Type (Section 3.1) – Default is Fuel
2. Tank Number (Section 3.2) – Default is Tank 0
3. Tank Capacity (Section 3.3) – Default is No Tank Capacity Transmitted
4. Tank Depth or Custom Calibration (Section 3.4) – Default is a 40” (1.02m) deep tank with
rectangular cross-section with full at 2” (5.08cm) distance from the sender and empty at
40” (1.02m) distance from the sender
3.1 Configuring Tank Type
As shipped from the factory, the TLM100 transmits the tank type as “Fuel”. You can
reconfigure the TLM100 for any of these tank types:
1. Fuel
2. Fresh Water
3. Waste Water
4. Live Well
5. Oil
6. Black Water
7. Reserved-1 through Reserved-7 (if none of the above types apply)
You configure or program a TLM100 tank type using a display product such as the Maretron
DSM250 or Maretron N2KAnalyzer 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.
3.2 Configuring Tank Number
As shipped from the factory, the TLM100 transmits the Tank Number as “0”. The TLM100
supports up to sixteen tanks (0 through 15) for a given type of tank, which means you can
monitor up to 16 separate fuel tanks or 16 separate fresh water tanks. The TLM100 is
configured or programmed by choosing a TLM100 tank number using a display product such
as the Maretron DSM250 or Maretron N2KAnalyzer 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.
3.3 Configuring Tank Capacity
In addition to indicating the fluid level within a tank, the TLM100 also has the ability to be
configured or programmed with the attached tank’s capacity. This way, you will be able to view
the tank’s capacity as well as the amount of liquid remaining anywhere on the vessel where
there is an NMEA 2000

compatible display. It is not required, but you can enter the TLM100
tank capacity using a display product such as the Maretron DSM250 or Maretron N2KAnalyzer
