The  transmission  interval  for  this  message  can  be  configured  with  YD:PGN  command  (see  1.5  in  this 

Section). If some other equipment sent this message, the Adapter will immediately send its own message 

after it with the corrected value of estimated fuel remaining.

Example 1.

 Send summarized data from channels A and B in PGN 127496:

        

YD:JOIN AB

Example 2.

 Turn off the transmission of PGN 127496:

        

YD:JOIN NONE

        4.4  YD:SW<A..D><1..4> [<ON|OFF> [conditions]]

This setting enables, disables and configures up to 8 rules for each measurement channel to control NMEA 

2000 digital equipment. This command is described in the Section VII.

VII. Digital Switching

The  Tank  Adapter  supports  NMEA  2000  digital  switching  equipment  (managed  with  Standard  PGNs 

127501 and 127502). The Device can send commands to turn on/off electrical loads connected to external 

NMEA 2000 two-state devices (e. g. relay banks).

The Tank Adapter is compatible (not only) with:

* Yacht Devices NMEA 2000 Circuit Control YDCC-04.

 Circuit Control has one bank of four 

latching (bi-stable) relays capable of switching direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) loads. 

Tank Adapter can be used to automatically fill the main fuel tank from reserve tank, or to stop filling of 

the live well tank when it is full, or balance two ballast tanks.

* Yacht Devices Alarm Button YDAB-01.

 The Alarm Button is a digital switching «music box»; 

it has a powerful sound amplifier inside and a connection to a sound speaker. The Tank Adapter can 

turn ON any of 28 alarm sounds (or even voice messages uploaded by a user) of the Alarm Button. For 

example, you can activate an alarm when the fuel level is low.
