1 General
1.1 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Maretron Fuel Flow Monitor (FFM100). Maretron has
designed and built your monitor to the highest standards for years of reliable, dependable, and
accurate service.
Maretron’s Fuel Flow Monitor (FFM100) is used to adapt up to two positive displacement fluid
flow sensors to the NMEA 2000
®
network (Fluid Flow sensors sold separately). This allows you
to observe engine fuel usage on a vessel where there are NMEA 2000
®
compatible displays.
With the appropriate sensor, the FFM100 reports flow rate for diesel engines or gasoline
engines.
The FFM100 can be used with the positive displacement sensors to detect flow rates of many
other types of fluid as well, including water, hydraulic oil, or other fluids.
The Maretron FFM100 is designed to operate within the harsh demands of the marine
environment. However, no piece of marine electronic equipment can function properly unless
installed, calibrated, and maintained in the correct manner. Please read carefully and follow
these instructions for installation, calibration, and usage of the Maretron FFM100 in order to
ensure optimal performance.

•
NMEA
2000
®
interface
•
Adapts up to two fluid flow sensors to the NMEA 2000 network
