2.3 Mounting the TMP100
Attach the TMP100 securely to the vessel using the included stainless steel mounting screws
or other fasteners as shown in Figure 1 below. Do not use threadlocking compounds
containing methacrylate ester, such as Loctite Red (271), as they will cause stress cracking of
the plastic enclosure.

2.4 Connecting the TMP100
®
The TMP100 requires two types of electrical connections: 1) the NMEA 2000
connection
(refer to Section 2.4.1), and 2) the temperature probe connections, which are described in
Section 2.4.2.
®
2.4.1 NMEA 2000
Connection
®
®
The NMEA 2000
connector can be found on the side of the enclosure. The NMEA 2000
connector is a round five pin male connector (see Figure 2). You connect the TMP100 to an
®
®
NMEA 2000
network using a Maretron NMEA 2000
cable (or compatible cable) by
connecting the female end of the cable to the TMP100 (note the key on the male connector
and keyway on the female connector). Be sure the cable is connected securely and that the
collar on the cable connector is tightened firmly. Connect the other end of the cable (male) to
®
the NMEA 2000
network in the same manner. The TMP100 is designed such that you can
®
plug or unplug it from an NMEA 2000
network while the power to the network is connected or
®
disconnected. Please follow recommended practices for installing NMEA 2000
network
products.
