Maretron's Fluid Pressure Monitor is used to adapt up to six pressure
transducers to the NMEA 2000® network (pressure transducers sold
separately). This allows you to observe fluid pressures and tank levels anywhere
on the vessel where there are NMEA 2000® compatible
displays. With the appropriate transducer, the FPM100 reports either pressure or
vacuum for a variety of applications including water pressures, oil pressures,
hydraulic pressures, or system vacuum for detecting clogged filters.
The FPM100 also has a tank level mode, so that fluid levels in a tank can be
monitored via a pressure transducer mounted at the bottom of the tank and
transmitted over the NMEA 2000® network. This allows
you to monitor the fluid levels in tanks that are extremely deep, have internal
structures, or are otherwise not suited for other tank level sensing
technologies. In this mode, the FPM100 can be calibrated for irregular tank
shapes so that you know the true level of the tanks.
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 FPM100 is a key component of Maretron's N2KView®
vessel monitoring and control system.
WARNING
Maretron pressure transducers are not approved for use with gasoline. If you
wish to use the FPM100 to monitor pressures or levels of gasoline, you must
obtain a pressure transducer that is approved for use with gasoline.

Maretron’s Fluid Pressure Monitor (FPM100) can be used for one of two
purposes, 1) to monitor pressure/vacuum, or 2) to monitor tank levels. Although
a single FPM100 can be programmed to monitor both pressure/vacuum and tank
levels, this particular example is for tank level monitoring.
This basic tank monitoring system monitors six tanks using Maretron’s 3.5”
color display, a Fluid Pressure Monitor (FPM100) and six Maretron pressure
transducers. The system can be calibrated for odd shaped tanks so you get
precision tank level information. And since the tank capacity is programmable,
you can see exactly how many gallons remain in the tank. You can even combine
different tanks into a single gauge or display, eliminating the need to
continually perform mental calculations.

This comprehensive tank monitoring system monitors six tanks using Maretron’s
8” touchscreen, a Fluid Pressure Monitor (FPM100) and six Maretron pressure
transducers. The system can be calibrated for odd shaped tanks so you get
precision tank level information. And since the tank capacity is programmable,
you can see exactly how many gallons remain in the tank. You can even combine
different tanks into a single gauge or display eliminating the need to continual
perform mental calculations. The Ethernet gateway allows you to view tank
information on a smartphone or tablet so you can observe tank levels while
re-fueling from the dock. Finally, the Vessel Data Recorder (VDR100) keeps a
complete record of all fluids added and consumed from the vessel while showing
on a map where the fluids were added and consumed, with the GPS200 providing
reference times and positions.
It is generally accepted that monitoring the vacuum after your Fuel Filter is
the best way to detect clogging of your fuel filter and prevent untimely
shutdown of your engines. This basic Fuel Filter Monitoring System includes
Maretron’s Fluid Pressure Monitor, a vacuum transducer and a small display to
display the vacuum level anywhere on the boat. In addition, the display can be
programmed to generate an audible warning when the vacuum reaches a critcal
level.
