2.4.2 Mounting the TLM150 Interface Component
The actual mounting of the TLM150 interface component is not critical and the unit can be
®
mounted in any orientation. The TLM150, NMEA 2000
connector, and cable are all
waterproof (rated IP67 – protected against temporary immersion in water) so you can mount
the unit virtually anywhere. Once you have located a suitable mounting location, you can
secure the TLM150 interface component by placing wire ties with screw eyes on the attached
cables next to the TLM150 interface component. Do not use threadlocking compounds
containing methacrylate ester, such as Loctite Red (271), as they will cause stress cracking of
the plastic enclosure.
2.5 Connecting the TLM150
®
There is one connection point (see Figure 5) for the TLM150: the NMEA 2000
connection.
®
Please refer to Section 2.5.1 for making NMEA 2000
connection.

2.5.1 Connecting to NMEA 2000
Interface
®
The Maretron TLM150 provides a connection to an NMEA 2000
interface through a five pin
®
male connector (see Figure 6). You connect the TLM150 to an NMEA 2000
network using a
®
®
Maretron NMEA 2000
cable (or an NMEA 2000
compatible cable) by connecting the female
end of the cable to the TLM150 (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 TLM150 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.
