1.9 Connecting NMEA-2000 tank senders
A thrid party NMEA2000 tank sender must meet the following requirements to be visible on the GX
Device:
Transmit the NMEA2000 Fluid Level PGN, 127505
The NMEA2000 device class needs to either General (80) in combination with function code
Transducer (190), or Sensor (170). Or, the NMEA2000 device class needs to be Sensors (75), in
combination with function Fluid Level (150).
A single function reporting multiple Fluid Levels is currently not supported.
For some tank senders it is also possible to configure the capacity and the fluid type on the GX Device
- for example the Maretron TLA100. This facility may be available with other senders made by other
manufacturers - it's well-worth trying.
To connect an NMEA2000 network to the VE.Can port on the CCGX, use a VE.Can to NMEA2000 cable.
Alternatively, instead of a VE.Can to NMEA200, you can use a 3802 cable from Oceanic Systems. The
difference is that it lends itself well to connecting a single NMEA-2000 device into a VE.Can network.
It's also able to power a lower voltage NMEA-2000 network directly from a 48V Victron system.
Tested NMEA2000 tank senders:
Maretron TLA100
Navico Fluid Level Sensor Fuel-0 PK, partno. 000-11518-001. Note that this sender requires a
12V powered NMEA2000 network; it breaks when connected to a 24V-powered NMEA2000
network. And note that you need a Navico display to configure the Capacity, Fluid type, and
other parameters of the sensor.
Most likely others work as well. If you know of one working well, please edit this page -or- get in touch
with us on Community -> Modifications.
1.10 Connecting IMT Solar Irradiance, Temperature and Wind Speed Sensors
1.10.1 Compatibility
Ingenieurbüro Mencke & Tegtmeyer GmbH (IMT) offer a range of digital silicon irradiance sensor
models within the Si-RS485 series that are all compatible with a Victron GX device.
The optional/additional external module temperature, ambient temperature and wind speed sensors
are also supported.
