Offshore 3350-FTC Installation And Operating Instructions

FUEL TRANSFER CONTROLLER
Part Number: 3350-FTC Fuel Transfer Controller
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The 3350-FTC Fuel Transfer Controller is designed to display the contents of the "Day" or "Consumption" Fuel
Tank and control the pumping of fuel from the storage or "Bunker" tanks into that tank.
The 3350-FTC is housed in a standard 2" / 52mm diameter panel gauge instrument that contains a blue LED digital
display, front panel "START" and "STOP" buttons and a 10 Amp changeover relay to control the Fuel Transfer
Pump.
It has a standard NMEA2000® micro sized male plug to link to the NMEA2000® network and 3 x ¼" male spade
terminals to link to the transfer pump wiring.

INSTALLATION AND LOCATION
The 3350-FTC Fuel Transfer Controller displays the "Day" or "Consumption" tank level as a % level and so it should
be situated within sight of the helm position.
If there are multiple helm positions then multiple instruments can be installed. In this event the pump control
wiring can be connected in parallel so that either instrument can control the filling of the Day tank.
The instrument is designed to be panel mounted in a 2" or 52mm clearance hole and requires clearance of at
least 100mm behind the hole to allow for cable connections to be run without undue stress.
It is fixed to the panel by using a reversible rear mounting ring nut which can accommodate panels of up to 25mm
thick. The front of the instrument is sealed to IP67 and when correctly mounted in a panel using the supplied
gasket will provide an IP67 seal to the panel.
A mounting hole providing clearance for a 2" / 52mm diameter should be cut at the desired location. The
instrument should be inserted from the front with it's gasket. The mounting ring nut is attached at the rear and
tightened sufficiently to hold the instrument securely.
THE UNIT ADDRESS SWITCH ON THE BACK OF THE INSTRUMENT MUST BE SET TO EXACTLY MATCH THE UNIT
ADDRESS SWITCH ON THE "DAY" OR "CONSUMPTION" TANK LEVEL SENDER. IF THIS IS NOT DONE THEN THE UNIT
CANNOT STOP A TRANSFER AND A FUEL SPILL COULD HAPPEN.
WIRING AND NETWORK
The male NMEA2000® micro plug should be attached to a Tee connector on the NMEA2000® network either
directly or by using a NMEA2000® micro drop cable.
The wiring to the transfer pump should be as follows:
Fuel Transfer
Pump
Bunker Tank
The power control cables on the back of the 3350-FTC should be connected to the "C" and "NO" terminals.
