1 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Maretron Temperature Module. Maretron has
designed and built your TMP100 to the highest standards for years of dependable and
accurate service.
Maretron's TMP100 measures the temperature for up to 6 temperature probes and reports the
information over an NMEA 2000® network. The TMP100 supports up to 4 thermistor probes
and 2 high temperature thermocouple probes. Optional thermistor probes (-20°C to 80°C or 4°F to 176°F) cover a wide range of applications including cabin air temperature, engine room
air temperature, refrigerator/freezer temperature, under bolt temperature (inverters, charges,
pumps, motors, etc.), tank temperatures (live well bait, hot water, etc.), and air duct
temperatures. The optional thermocouple probes (0°C to 900°C or 32° to 1652°F) are used to
measure Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) as part of a comprehensive fuel management
system.
The Maretron TMP100 is designed to operate within the harsh demands of the marine
environment. However, no piece of marine electronic equipment can function properly unless
installed, configured, and maintained in the correct manner. Please read carefully and follow
these instructions for installation, configuration, and usage of the Maretron TMP100 in order to
ensure optimal performance.

1.4 Quick Install
Installing the Maretron TMP100 involves the following five steps. Please refer to the individual
sections for additional details.
1. Unpack the box (Section 2.1)
2. Choose a mounting location (Section 2.2)
3. Mount the TMP100 (Section 2.3)

2 Installation
2.1 Unpacking the Box
When unpacking the box containing the Maretron TMP100, you should find the following items:
1 – TMP100 – Temperature Module
1 – Parts Bag containing 4 Stainless Steel Mounting Screws
1 – TMP100 User’s Manual
1 – Warranty Registration Card
If any of these items are missing or damaged, please contact Maretron.
2.2 Choosing a Mounting Location
Please consider the following when choosing a mounting location.
1. The TMP100 is waterproof, so it can be mounted in a damp or dry location.
2. The orientation is not important, so the TMP100 can be mounted on a horizontal deck,
vertical bulkhead, or upside down if desired.
3. The TMP100 is temperature-rated to 55°C (130°F), so it should be mounted away from
engines or engine rooms where the operating temperature exceeds the specified limit.
