For a discussion on the differences between mechanical and ultrasonic anemometers, please see the article entitled "Anemometer Technology.pdf" under Attachments found below. Read More

The SSC200 compass is better than other marine compasses that use fluxgate technology because there are no moving parts in the SSC200. Compasses using fluxgate technology have a coil floating in a liquid, and once this coil is set in motion (vessel... Read More

Maretron displays perform switching (on/off) of the solid-state relays in the DCR100 via the NMEA standard method of using an NMEA Command (PGN 126208) of the 127501 Binary Switch Bank Status message. The Switch Bank Indicator field, along with the... Read More

The N2KMeter tracks network data transmission errors in real-time, and lets you know if the error rate is acceptable  , marginal , or unacceptable . Any error rate greater than zero is undesirable (although your network may still function since... Read More

Maretron offers three different types of tank monitoring technologies (i.e., adapter, ultrasonic, and pressure) for monitoring fluids aboard a vessel. Selecting the correct sensor can be confusing so this article helps you choose the right tank... Read More

 The TLM100 uses an ultrasonic signal to determine a distance measurement from sensor to level. The tank application must be compatible with the TLMXXX measurement technology. If you have already installed a TLMXXX and received unexpected... Read More

The NBE100 allows you to electrically break up an NMEA 2000 network into individual "network segments". Although the network segments are electrically isolated from each other, the entire network is still one large logical network. What this means is... Read More

Yes, J1939 and NMEA 2000 both use CAN technology where network topology requires terminators on both ends of the trunk or backbone. Please refer to the application note entitled, "Interfacing J1939 Engines and/or Gensets to an NMEA 2000® Network... Read More
