FFM100 Example – Comprehensive System (Two Engines)

Overview

The comprehensive diesel fuel monitoring system for two diesel engines and two fuel tanks uses fuel rate information from the fuel flow monitor (FFM100) combined with the vessels speed from the GPS antenna/receiver (GPS200) to provide fuel economy information (e.g., miles/gallon or kilometers/liter). In addition, tank monitors provide remaining fuel information so the display can compute distance and time to empty. Lastly, the Vessel Data Recorder (VDR100) keeps track of exactly how fast the fuel was used, how much fuel was used, and exactly where the fuel was consumed, which is shown on your track on a map using Maretron’s free N2KExtractor software.

The following table shows the products included within this example system plus a list of the information or data available for display.

Product	Description	Available Data List
DSM250	Display	Displays data in this list, monitors the data and sounds an internal buzzer if there is a problem
FFM100	Fluid Flow Monitor	Monitors fuel flow rate, supply fuel temperature, return fuel temperature, trip fuel used.
GPS200	Cabin top GPS	Position, speed over ground, course over ground, time, date, magnetic variation and more
FPM100	Tank Monitor	Monitors fuel level, fuel capacity, fuel remaining, for 2 tanks.
VDR100	Data Recorder	Performance analysis, vessel tracking, preventative maintenance, warranty incident, and accident investigation
