Figure 2 – Mounting Location When Used Without Analog Gauge 2.3 Connecting the TLA100 There are two connection points (see Figure 3) for the TLA100: 1) the permanently attached ® gray cable for connection to analog gauge or tank sender, and 2) the NMEA 2000 connection. -
Page 9: Connecting Attached Gray Cable To Analog Gauge Or Tank Sender
Connecting the TLA100’s attached gray cable depends on how the TLA100 will be used. If you are using the TLA100 with an analog gauge(s) then refer to Section 2.3.1.1 and skip Section 2.3.1.2. If you are using the TLA100 as a stand-alone adapter without attaching an analog gauge, then skip Section 2.3.1.1 and refer to Section 2.3.1.2. -
