MasterBus hladinové rozhraní

The Mastervolt MasterBus gauge interface is a dedicated data acquisition module for monitoring tank levels on board. It bridges a level sensor (resistive, current or voltage) to the MasterBus network, enabling visualization and management of fuel, freshwater, grey water or black water levels on a compatible display or via the MasterAdjust software.

Yes, the Masterbus gauge interface can trigger up to 63 events on the MasterBus network. For example, a low freshwater level can be configured to cut the water pump, or a high grey water level to activate an alarm.

The interface's power consumption is 280 mW. It also features Smart Powering, which reduces power usage by powering the sensor only when necessary.

The interface dimensions are 66 x 78 x 32 mm. Its weight is approximately 90 grams, including the screw terminal.

The Masterbus gauge interface can be configured in multiple languages, including English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, and Danish.

The Masterbus gauge interface has an IP21 protection rating.

The interface can be mounted on any flat surface. It is supplied with a DIN rail mounting option (30 mm) or can be directly fixed using two mounting holes.

The Masterbus gauge interface comes with the following items for its installation:

A screw terminal block (5 positions, pluggable) A MasterBus terminator A 1-meter MasterBus cable A user manual

To connect the interface to the MasterBus network, insert the supplied MasterBus cable (1 meter) into the interface's MasterBus connector. Ensure the MasterBus network is properly terminated at both ends with a terminator.

The interface can power sensors if required. For powered sensors, the battery cables (positive and negative) must be connected to terminals 1 and 2 of the interface. Battery voltage must be between 0 and 63 V.

A blinking LED (LED 6) on the interface indicates that the MasterBus communication is established and functioning correctly.

The interface is configured using the free MasterAdjust software. This software must be run on a Windows PC (laptop or notebook) and requires a MasterBus USB interface for the connection.

Yes, the interface is compatible with VDO sensors of resistive or capacitive type, as well as with BEP Marine ultrasonic sensors. The technical documentation provides guidelines for calibrating these types of sensors.

The interface can monitor the levels of various fluids, including fuel, fresh water, grey water, and black water. The fluid type can be configured in the MasterAdjust software.

Mastervolt offers a two-year product warranty on the Masterbus gauge interface, provided the product is installed and used in accordance with the instructions provided in the manual.

For a linear tank, you can use the Min/Max calibration method in MasterAdjust by simply entering the empty and full levels. For a non-linear tank, manual calibration is available, allowing you to input up to 20 calibration points for optimal accuracy.

Yes, high and low alarm thresholds can be set from 0 to 100% of the tank volume. These alarms can then be used as a source to trigger specific events on the MasterBus network.
