3.5 Standard Sender Selection or Custom Calibration
The TLA100 is capable of accepting standard resistive values (see Section 3.5.1) or it can be
calibrated for any resistance range between 0 and 300 or 300 and 0 ohms using the custom
calibration procedure (see Section 3.5.2). In addition, the TLA100 can be calibrated for non-
rectangular tank shapes for any resistive tank sender having resistance values from 0 to 300
ohms (see Section 3.5.2).
3.5.1 Standard
Sender
Selection
The TLA100 can be used with standard resistive tank senders such as the American Standard
(240-30 ohms) or the European Standard (10-180 ohms). You can select which type of sender
is attached to the TLA100 using a display product such as the Maretron DSM200. Refer to the
user’s manual for configuring the TLA100 as the manual provides detailed instruction on
configuration procedures.
3.5.2 Custom
Calibration
The TLA100 can be custom calibrated for one of several reasons:
1. A non-standard resistive tank sender is being used,
2. A standard resistive tank sender is used, but maximum accuracy is desired,
3. The tank shape is irregular or non-rectangular.
Regardless of the reason for custom calibrating the TLA100, you can calibrate the TLA100
using a display product such as the Maretron DSM200. Refer to the user’s manual of the
particular product that will be used for configuring the TLA100 as these manuals provide
detailed instruction on configuration procedures.
4 Maintenance
Regular maintenance is not required, however, an occasional inspection will ensure continued
proper operation of the Maretron TLA100. Perform the following tasks periodically:
•
Ensure that the unit is mounted securely and cannot be moved relative to the mounting
surface. If the unit is loose, tighten the screws holding the cable ties.
•
Check the security of the cables connected to the NMEA 2000

interface and the
connections to the gauge or sender and tighten if necessary.
5 Troubleshooting
If you notice unexpected operation of the Maretron TLA100, follow the troubleshooting
procedures in this section to remedy simple problems.
