1 Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Maretron Temperature Module. Maretron has designed and built your TMP100 to the highest standards for years of dependable and accurate service.

Maretron's TMP100 measures the temperature for up to 6 temperature probes and reports the information over an NMEA 2000® network. The TMP100 supports up to 4 thermistor probes and 2 high temperature thermocouple probes. Optional thermistor probes (-20°C to 80°C or - 4°F to 176°F) cover a wide range of applications including cabin air temperature, engine room air temperature, refrigerator/freezer temperature, under bolt temperature (inverters, charges, pumps, motors, etc.), tank temperatures (live well bait, hot water, etc.), and air duct temperatures. The optional thermocouple probes (0°C to 900°C or 32° to 1652°F) are used to measure Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) as part of a comprehensive fuel management system.

The Maretron TMP100 is designed to operate within the harsh demands of the marine environment. However, no piece of marine electronic equipment can function properly unless installed, configured, and maintained in the correct manner. Please read carefully and follow these instructions for installation, configuration, and usage of the Maretron TMP100 in order to ensure optimal performance.
