3.3.7 Configuring Tank Type
As shipped from the factory, the FPM100 transmits the tank type as “Fuel”. You can
reconfigure the FPM100 for any of these tank types:
1. Fuel
2. Fresh Water
3. Waste Water
4. Live Well
5. Oil
6. Black Water
7. Reserved-1 through Reserved-7 (if none of the above types apply)
You configure or program a FPM100 tank type using a display product such as the Maretron
DSM250. Refer to the user’s manual of the particular product that will be used for configuring
the FPM100 as these manuals provide detailed instruction on configuration procedures.
3.3.8 Configuring Data Damping Period
You can configure a damping parameter to smooth the tank level readings or make them more
responsive. The data damping is configurable between 0.2-25.0 seconds. The default data
damping for a channel in Tank mode is 15.0 seconds.
4 Maintenance
Regular maintenance is not required; however, an occasional inspection will ensure continued
proper operation of the Maretron FPM100. Perform the following tasks periodically:
• Clean the unit with a soft cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners as they may remove
paint or markings or may corrode the FPM100 enclosure or seals. Do not use any
cleaners containing acetone, as they will deteriorate the plastic enclosure.
• 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 cable connected to the NMEA 2000 ®
interface and tighten if
necessary.
• Check the security of all of the pressure transducer connections on the top of the unit
and tighten if necessary.
