Sensor Wiring
Wire Color Function Red Vref / analog gauge reference voltage Blue Sensor + Black Sensor - / Ground
Standalone Resistive Sensor Connection
For standalone use with a resistive fluid level sensor, the Blue wire is connected to the sensor Signal or + output and the Black wire is connected to Ground or -. The Red wire remains unconnected and should be insulated.
The CONNECTION setting is configured as RESISTIVE for this installation method.
Volvo Penta MDI Integration
The YDTA-01R can be connected in parallel with the fuel level input of a Volvo Penta MDI Mechanical Diesel Interface unit.
- Blue wire to MDI pin 11 or sensor Green wire
- Black wire to MDI pin 12 or sensor Green / Black wire
- Red wire remains unconnected
- CONNECTION setting: MDI
Analog Gauge Integration
The adapter can operate in parallel with an existing analog fluid level gauge. Both single-coil and dual-coil gauges are supported, including combined gauges with a button used to select the measured value.
- 1COIL mode for single-coil gauges
- 2COIL mode for compatible dual-coil gauges
- 2COIL_VCC mode for dual-coil gauges with switched power
- Analog gauge coil resistance range up to 10,000 Ohm
Voltage-Output Sensor Connection
The YDTA-01R supports sensors producing an analog voltage signal from 0 to 16 V. The Blue wire is connected to the sensor voltage output and the Black wire to sensor ground.
If the sensor provides a separate reference voltage output, it can be connected to the Red wire. Otherwise, the Red wire remains unconnected and should be insulated.
Tank Calibration
The Tank Adapter provides 12 calibration points to compensate for irregular tank geometry and non-linear sensor response. Calibration points correspond to measured levels at 4, 8, 12, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 95 percent.
- 12 configurable tank-shape calibration points
- Applicable to resistive and voltage-output sensors
- Compensates for non-linear sensor response
- 0% and 100% readings act as calibration endpoints
Sensor Wire Resistance Compensation
Long sensor wiring can introduce additional resistance and create a persistent measurement error. The YDTA-01R provides an OHMS_WIRES setting to compensate for parasitic wire resistance.
If the total sensor wire length exceeds 5 meters, the resistance can be measured with an ohmmeter or multimeter and entered into the adapter configuration.
Tank Capacity Configuration
Parameter Range Tank number / NMEA 2000 instance 0–15 Tank capacity 0–99,999 L
A capacity value of 0 or UNKNOWN disables transmission of tank capacity information to the NMEA 2000 network.
Pressure Sensor Mode
The YDTA-01R can be configured to operate as a pressure sensor adapter instead of a fluid level adapter. In pressure mode, the device transmits pressure information using NMEA 2000 PGN 130314 Actual Pressure.
- Atmospheric Pressure
- Water Pressure
- Steam Pressure
- Compressed Air Pressure
- Hydraulic Pressure
- Filter Pressure
- Altimeter Setting
- Oil Pressure
- Fuel Pressure
Damping
Fluid level readings can fluctuate in rough sea conditions. The adapter provides a configurable damping time constant to reduce sensitivity to vessel movement.
Parameter Specification Damping time constant 1–1200 seconds Factory setting 3 seconds
NMEA 2000 Digital Switching
The adapter can control compatible NMEA 2000 digital switching equipment according to measured tank level or sensor status.
- Up to 4 configurable switching rules
- Switch channels ON or OFF according to fluid level
- Supports delayed switching conditions
- Can react to sensor failure status
- Can react when normal sensor operation is restored
MicroSD Configuration
The YDTA-01R includes a MicroSD card slot for configuration, firmware updates, diagnostics and tank-level logging. Configuration can be performed using a standard text editor without dedicated software.
- Supports MicroSD cards of all sizes and classes
- Supports FAT12, FAT16, MS-DOS FAT and FAT32
- Does not support exFAT or NTFS
- Configuration file: YDTA.TXT
- Current configuration file: YDTASAVE.TXT
Data Logging
Measured sensor data can be recorded to a MicroSD card at configurable intervals from 1 to 60 minutes.
- Tank level percentage logging
- Tank volume logging when tank capacity is configured
- Pressure logging when pressure sensor mode is enabled
- Logging automatically resumes when a MicroSD card is inserted
