Introduction
The NMEA 2000 Tank Adapter YDTA-04 (hereinafter Adapter or Device) allows you to connect an existing
resistive or voltage-output type fluid level sensor installed on a tank and display the fluid level on NMEA
2000 devices, including chart plotters and instrumental displays.
The Adapter can be configured to report one of the 15 fluid types defined in the NMEA 2000 standard,
including Diesel Fuel, Gasoline Fuel, Oil, Fresh Water, Waste Water, Black Water (Sewage), or Live Well.
The Device can be used with European (10 to 180 Ohm range), American (240 to 33 Ohm range) or Japanese
(0 to 310 Ohm range) standard fluid level sensors as well as with any nonstandard sensors with maximum
resistance less than 400 Ohm. The Device can also be used with fluid level sensors, which output an analog
voltage signal in the range of 0 to 16 Volts.
The Adapter can be installed as a standalone measuring device, in parallel with an existing analog gauge
(2-coils and 1-coils gauges are supported), or in parallel with a Volvo Penta engine’s MDI (Mechanical Diesel
Interface) box. The four measuring channels of the Device may have individual settings. Fluid tank level
sensor readings can be calibrated with 12 calibration points to get accurate readings on tanks of any shape.
The Adaptor can switch the load channels of NMEA 2000 digital switching equipment on or off. Up to eight
different conditions for each measuring channel can be used.
Firmware updates are available only with Yacht Devices gateways (Wi-Fi, USB or Ethernet), see Section
VIII for details.
The Device is powered from the NMEA 2000 network and provides high voltage galvanic isolation between
NMEA 2000 and sensor inputs.
We thank you for purchasing our Devices and wish you happy voyages!
The Device is equipped with a hidden button that allows switching among 15 configuration
presets (see Section V). However, for advanced configuration (calibration curves, digital
switching functions, connection in parallel with analog gauges, using voltage sensors)
the NMEA 2000 PC gateway (from any manufacturer) or MFD which allows editing of
installation description strings (see Section VI) is required.
