6.23.7 Operating Mode
The TLA100 can be operated in one of two operating modes, depending on the installation.
• NMEA 2000 (the only thing that is connected to the resistive sender is the TLA100)
• NMEA 2000 & Analog Gauge (in addition to the TLA100, the resistive sender is also
connected to a dual-coil analog gauge).
It is important that this setting be performed correctly in order for the TLA100 to produce correct level
measurements. A screenshot showing configuration of the operating mode appears in Figure 196
below. To configure the operating mode, use the Scroll Up ( ) or Scroll Down ( ) keys to move
the highlighted cursor over the “Operating Mode:” menu item, then press the Enter key ( ) to move
the highlight over the operating mode value. Use the Scroll Up ( ) or Scroll Down ( ) keys to
change the operating mode to the desired value, and finally, press the Entry key to confirm your
selection and store the operating mode within the TLA100.
