2.3.2 Connecting to NMEA 2000
®
Interface
The Maretron TLA100 provides a connection to an NMEA 2000
®
interface through a five pin
male connector (see Figure 4). You connect the TLA100 to an NMEA 2000
®
network using a
Maretron NMEA 2000
®
cable (or an NMEA 2000
®
compatible cable) by connecting the female
end of the cable to the TLA100 (note the key on the male connector and keyway on the female
connector). Be sure the cable is connected securely and that the collar on the cable connector
is tightened firmly. Connect the other end of the cable (male) to the NMEA 2000
®
network in
the same manner. The TLA100 is designed such that you can plug or unplug it from an NMEA
2000
®
network while the power to the network is connected or disconnected. Please follow
recommended practices for installing NMEA 2000
®
network products.

3 Configuring the TLA100
The TLA100 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 TLA100 appropriately.
1. Tank Type – Default is Fuel (Section 3.1)
2. Tank Number – Default is Tank 0 (Section 3.2)
3. Operating Mode – Default is
NMEA 2000
®
Mode
(Section 3.3)
4. Tank Capacity – Default is No Tank Capacity Transmitted (Section 3.4)
5. Resistive Sender – Default is American standard (Section 3.5)
In addition to configurable parameters, the TLA100 can be calibrated for standard resistive
senders (i.e., American standard 240-30 ohm, European standard 10-180 ohms), the TLA100
can be calibrated for non-standard resistive senders (i.e., any resistance between 0 and 300 or
