6.13.2.1.1 Function
You can set the channel’s Function to “Disabled”, “Tank”, or “Pressure/Vacuum”. This section of the
manual assumes that the channel’s function has been set to “Tank”.
6.13.2.1.2 Label
This entry allows you to assign a text label to the device. This label is visible in Maretron analysis and
display products and allows you to easily identify the particular device.
6.13.2.1.3 Pressure at 4mA
Program this parameter to match the pressure reading of the pressure transducer when it is sourcing
a current of 4mA. You can determine this value by examining the specification of the pressure
transducer being used.
6.13.2.1.4 Pressure at 20mA
Program this parameter to match the pressure reading of the pressure transducer when it is sourcing
a current of 20mA. You can determine this value by examining the specification of the pressure
transducer being used.
6.13.2.1.5 Tank Capacity
In addition to indicating the fluid level within a tank, the FPM100 also has the ability to be configured
or programmed with the attached tank’s capacity. This way, you will be able to view the tank’s
capacity as well as the amount of liquid remaining anywhere on the vessel where there is an NMEA

6.13.2.1.6 Tank Levels Calibration…
In order for the FPM100 to indicate an accurate tank level, it must know the geometry of the tank.
There are two methods of calibrating an FPM100 channel in Tank mode:
