Common Concerns Answered
What if I want to monitor tank levels without a Maretron display?
The Maretron Submersible Pressure Transducer broadcasts data over the NMEA 2000® network, allowing any compatible NMEA 2000® display or data logging system to interpret and show tank levels.
Is the calibration process complicated?
While calibration may require a basic understanding of NMEA 2000® and fluid dynamics, Maretron provides comprehensive documentation and support to simplify the process for accurate fluid level reporting.
What are the benefits of using a submersible transducer for tank monitoring?
Submersible transducers offer a direct and accurate method of measuring fluid levels by sensing hydrostatic pressure, avoiding mechanical failures associated with float switches or paddle wheels, and providing reliable data even in turbulent conditions.
