Installation Instructions

Maretron TP-EGT-1 TMP100 Exhaust Gas Temperature Probe

Instructions
Please follow these instructions to connect the TP-EGT-1 exhaust gas temperature probe to the NMEA 2000®
network via a Maretron TMP100 Temperature Module. The wiring diagram appears in Figure 1 below. The
diagram shows a connection to channel #0, but connections to other channels are similar. Please note that the
TP-IP-1 may be connected only to channels #0 and #1. It may not be connected to channels #2, #3, #4, or #5.

1. The TP-EGT-1 is packaged with a compression fitting for mounting the temperature probe to an exhaust
manifold. Drill and tap a 1/8” NPT (27 threads per inch) hole in the manifold where you want the probe to
enter the manifold. Alternatively, you may drill a 13/64” hole in the manifold and weld on the supplied
adapter fitting, which has a 1/8” NPT hole. An existing hole on an exhaust manifold is somewhat
common. It may or may not be threaded 1/8” NPT. If is it not, you will need to either obtain a bushing to
adapt the existing hole in the manifold to 1/8” NPT or use a compression fitting that matches the existing
hole in the exhaust manifold.
2. Thread compression fitting into the threaded hole.
3. Insert the EGT probe into the compression fitting, and tighten the collar of the compression fitting to
achieve a snug, leak-proof fit.
4. The TP-EGT-1 cable contains one yellow and one red wire. Connect the red wire to the appropriate Tx-
terminal on the TMP100 as shown in Figure 1 below.
5. Connect the yellow wire to the appropriate Tx+ terminal on the TMP100 as shown in Figure 1 below.
6. Use a DSM250 (firmware 1.3.8 or greater) or other Maretron display product capable of configuring the
TMP100 to configure the “Channel #x Source” to the type of temperature you are measuring.
7. Use a DSM250 (firmware 1.3.8 or greater) or other Maretron display product capable of configuring the
TMP100 to configure the “Channel #x Instance” to a number that is unique across the network for the
source you have selected. In other words, if you are measuring Exhaust Gas Temperature, there may be
only one channel on the network that measures Exhaust Gas Temperature that has an instance number
of 0. Number further Exhaust Gas Temperature channels as instance #1, #2, and so on.
8. If desired, use DSM250 (firmware 1.3.8 or greater) or other Maretron display product capable of
configuring the TMP100 to configure the “Channel #x Label” to a text string that allows you to identify the
particular temperature that is being measured by this probe. For example, if you have two engines, you
may wish to label one of them “Port EGT” and the other “Starboard EGT”.
9. Using a Maretron DSM250 or Maretron N2KView, show the temperature with the source and instance you
have selected and verify that you see a valid temperature on the display.

A DSM250 or other Maretron display product aids in the visualization of temperature probes' data by allowing users to configure and display specific information about the source and instance of the temperature probe data. This setup allows for clear labeling and differentiation of multiple data streams, enabling easier monitoring and management of temperature data from various probes. The display products also help verify that valid temperatures are reported, aiding in system diagnostics and operations .

If a valid temperature is not displayed after configuration, the steps include verifying the wiring connections between the probe and TMP100, ensuring the TPS-EGT-1 is connected to the correct terminals as per the wiring diagram. Check the configuration settings on the DSM250, ensuring the 'Channel #x Source,' 'Channel #x Instance,' and 'Channel #x Label' are set correctly. Ensure there are no network issues or conflicts and that the DSM250 firmware is 1.3.8 or greater for compatibility .

Using a Maretron DSM250 with firmware 1.3.8 or greater is significant because it ensures compatibility and the capability to configure the TMP100 properly. The updated firmware supports the necessary features for setting the 'Channel #x Source,' 'Channel #x Instance,' and 'Channel #x Label,' which are essential steps for proper temperature monitoring and network integration .

Labeling different exhaust gas temperature channels when using the TMP100 is crucial for clear identification and management, especially in complex systems with multiple sensors. Labels like "Port EGT" and "Starboard EGT" help users quickly understand and monitor which engine's exhaust temperature is being reported. This practice reduces errors, simplifies diagnostics, and enables more effective system operation and maintenance .

Configuring both 'Channel #x Source' and 'Channel #x Instance' is necessary to define the type of temperature being measured and to ensure each measurement is uniquely identified across the network. The 'Channel #x Source' specifies what type of temperature, such as exhaust gas temperature, is measured. The 'Channel #x Instance' assigns a unique number to each source type to avoid confusion and overlap with other channels on the network .

To configure the Maretron TMP100 for distinguishing multiple engines, use a DSM250 or other display capable of configuring the TMP100 to set the "Channel #x Instance" to a unique number for each engine measurement. For example, if measuring exhaust gas temperatures from two engines, label one channel as instance number 0 and the other as instance number 1. Additionally, configure the "Channel #x Label" to a descriptive text string for each engine, such as "Port EGT" and "Starboard EGT" .

After installing the EGT probe, you can verify a valid temperature reading by using a Maretron DSM250 or Maretron N2KView. Display the temperature with the configured source and instance to check that a valid temperature appears on the display .

The TP-IP-1 can only be connected to channels #0 and #1 on the TMP100. It cannot be connected to channels #2, #3, #4, or #5 .

To install a Maretron TP-EGT-1 temperature probe into an exhaust manifold, first, drill and tap a 1/8” NPT (27 threads per inch) hole in the manifold or alternatively drill a 13/64” hole and weld on the supplied adapter fitting. If using an existing hole, ensure it is threaded to 1/8” NPT or obtain a suitable bushing. Next, thread the compression fitting into the threaded hole and insert the EGT probe. Tighten the collar of the compression fitting to ensure a snug fit. Finally, connect the red wire of the TP-EGT-1 cable to the appropriate Tx- terminal and the yellow wire to the Tx+ terminal on the TMP100, as per the wiring diagram .

If the exhaust manifold doesn't have a 1/8” NPT threaded hole, you may either obtain a bushing to adapt the existing hole in the manifold to 1/8” NPT or use a compression fitting that matches the existing hole. Alternatively, you could drill a new 13/64” hole and weld on the supplied adapter fitting that has a 1/8” NPT hole .
