Description
FFM100 – Fuel Flow Monitor.
Maretron’s FFM100 provides precision fuel flow information to help optimize fuel consumption which can save thousands of dollars in fuel operating cost. The FFM100 uses state-of-the-art positive displacement metering technology for unprecedented accuracy. In fact the accuracy of the FFM100 is nearly that of commercial vessel systems costing tens of thousands of dollars yet the FFM100 cost less than existing recreational systems found on the market today. Additional benefits of the positive displacement metering technology are the elimination of flow conditioning components such as straighteners and pulsation dampers. Other flow meter technologies require flow conditioning components that increase system and installation cost. The FFM100 also uses true temperature compensation with embedded temperature sensors within the meters. The returning fuel is generally hotter than the supply fuel and if not properly compensated inaccuracies as much as 5% can occur in computing the engine’s fuel consumption. The FFM100 also detects momentary reverse flow in the fuel lines due to fluctuating pressure caused by the injection pump. Less accurate systems count the reverse fuel flow as part of the consumed fuel where the FFM100 properly accounts for momentary reverse flow. Lastly the FFM100 can be used for fluid types other than fuel (e.g. water oil etc.) by ordering the appropriate flow sender.
The FPM100 is NMEA 2000 certified so you can view any and all information anywhere on the vessel using a compatible NMEA 2000 display. The FFM100 is a key component of Maretron’s N2KView vessel monitoring and control system.

Maretron GPS Antenna Receiver
GPS200 - NMEA 2000® GPS Antenna/Receiver Maretron's GPS200 is a state-of-the-art 32 channel GPS antenna and receiver capable of providing five position fixes per second, accurate boat speed four times per second, and precision time once per second. An additional benefit of the GPS200 is that it broadcasts precision magnetic variation information using the current position and world magnetic model (WMM-2010). The GPS200 antenna/receiver is a plug-and-play device that is fully compliant and certified to the NMEA 2000® Standard. It will directly connect to any NMEA 2000® network and communicate with navigational software, chart plotters, autopilots and dedicated instrument displays - such as Maretron's N2KView® vessel monitoring system, or by Maretron's DSM150/DSM250 colour graphics displays, and its compact, waterproof housing provides years of reliable performance. The GPS200 automatically decodes GPS correction signals from Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) including the North American Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay System (EGNOS), or the Asian Multifunctional Transport Satellite-based Augmentation System (MSAS) to provide better than 2.5m accuracy. The GPS200 is easily mounted to any 1" standard marine mount with its standard 1"-14 male threads. It can also be mounted directly to a deck, or even (due to it's unprecedented sensitivity) underneath a fibreglass deck.

Maretron Tank Level Monitor 40”Depth Tanks
Maretron's TLM100 is used to sense fluid levels of tanks by using ultrasonic technology. Ultrasonic, or sound waves, are transmitted via the TLM100 mounted at the top of the tank and the flight times of the sound waves to and from the fluid are measured much like a depth sensor. What this means for you is that there are no difficult to handle long probes protruding into the tank, which often foul and/or corrode. Once the TLM100 calculates and transmits the fluid level over the NMEA 2000® network, you can observe tank levels anywhere on the vessel where there is an NMEA 2000® compatible display such as Maretron's N2KView® vessel monitoring system, or by Maretron's DSM150/DSM250 colour graphics displays. The TLM100 is capable of sensing fluid levels in tanks up to 40" (1.02m) in depth. It can be used for diesel, fresh water, waste water, black water, and oil tanks (see TLM150 for gasoline tanks or TLM200 for deeper tanks). Unlike most tank senders that only work with rectangular tanks, the TLM100 can be calibrated for irregular tank shapes so you can know the true fluid level in your tanks. The TLM100 is mounted directly to the top of tanks using the industry standard SAE J1810 5-hole mounting pattern. The TLM100 can also be mounted to tanks with threaded tank openings using optional adapters that included both a 1.5" NPT and a 1.25" BSP adapter. There are other important TLM100 optional accessories including an airlock for black water applications, which keeps the face of the ultrasonic transmitter from fouling and an optional focus tube to permit use on boats with planing hulls, which is required if the vessel spends a significant amount of time with the bow pitched up. Most importantly, the TLM100 is NMEA 2000® certified so you can view any and all tank levels anywhere on the vessel when using a compatible NMEA 2000® display. The TLM100 is another key component of Maretron's N2KView® vessel monitoring and control system.

Maretron's TLM150 is used to sense gasoline fluid levels of tanks using ultrasonic technology.
