Tank Monitoring – Comprehensive System

Overview

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 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.

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