2.5.5.3 Installation Description…
The TMP100, along with all other Level A certified NMEA 2000 devices, has two user-
programmable installation description fields. You may program these fields with information
specific to the device, such as date installed, the initials/name of the installer, the physical
location of the device, etc. This configuration option will allow you to program the values of
these fields.
3 Maintenance
Regular maintenance is important to ensure continued proper operation of the Maretron
TMP100. Perform the following tasks periodically:
• Clean the unit with a soft cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners as they may remove
paint or markings or may corrode the TMP100 enclosure or seals.
• Ensure that the unit is mounted securely and cannot be moved relative to the mounting
surface. If the unit is loose, tighten the mounting screws.
• Check the security of the cable connected to the NMEA 2000 ® connector, and tighten if
necessary.
• Check the security of all of the probe connections on the top of the unit and tighten if
necessary.
