3.3.5.1.3 Fluid Density 

In order for the FPM100 to properly convert pressure readings to tank levels using a 
rectangular tank calibration, it must be configured with the density of the fluid being monitored. 
The default value for this parameter is the density of fresh water (1000 kg/m

3

). If you are 

monitoring the level of fluids other than water, you must program this parameter with the 
density of the fluid being monitored.  

The density of Marine Diesel Fuel is approximately 991 kg/m

3

. This value may vary depending 

on the exact fuel formulation. 
 
3.3.5.2  Custom Calibration 
For accurate tank level readings, the FPM100 must be custom calibrated if the tank shape is 
irregular or non-rectangular. 
 
You can calibrate the FPM100 using a display product such as the Maretron DSM250. Refer to 
the user’s manual of the particular product that will be used for configuring the FPM100 as 
these manuals provide detailed instruction on configuration procedures. 
 

As shipped from the factory, the FPM100 transmits the Tank Number as “0”. The FPM100 
supports up to sixteen tanks (0 through 15) for a given type of tank, which means you can 
monitor up to 16 separate fuel tanks or 16 separate fresh water tanks.  The FPM100 is 
configured or programmed by choosing a FPM100 tank number using a display product such 
as the Maretron DSM250. Refer to the user’s manual of the particular product that will be used 
for configuring the FPM100 as these manuals provide detailed instruction on configuration 
procedures.
