digital monitoring systems

The 600 series Digital Monitoring System, designed and manufactured by BEP Marine, is made to meet the requirements of modern boating
and recreational vehicles. Electrical installations on-board the modern boat now incorporate complex AC & DC systems along with extensive tankage
for items such as fuel, fresh water, sewage and grey water. Accurate monitoring of such systems is essential, as a mal-function in any one of the above
areas could cause major damage to expensive equipment and ultimately endanger the vessel or peoples lives. The dot matrix display incorporated in
the 600 series allows for more detailed on-screen information and clarity of viewing. The screen has backlighting for easy night time viewing.

The 600-VM3 has had new features added for 2006. It offers the ability to have 3 voltage inputs
with Hi/Low alarms. It can also be configured as a bilge monitor with selectable legends for different
bilge areas. This allows the 600-VM3 to be either fully configured as a voltmeter or partially as
volts or bilge, eg: position 1 volt meter, position 2 & 3 bilge monitor. Selectable legends allow full
nformation to be shown on the screen to avoid confusion, unlike other digital meters available which
only show confusing digits. LCD screen draws 70% less than equivalent LED screens.
Selectable Legends:
Specifications:
input voltage 10-35 VDC
power consumption 45 ma
power consumption 65 ma
(back lighting on)
dimensions refer above

The 600-TG offers economical

monitoring for fresh or grey water
anks (plastic or fibreglass only). Using
600-TGSK strategically mounted well
nuts will give 4 tank levels. Supplied
with one sender kit. Second sender
ordered separately.
Also available is the RV-TS Tank
ender. Only one hole is required for
installation, the sender is sealed via
external lock nuts. Only suits tanks
with maximum depth of 280mm.

pump, aft bilge pump, engine room lights, salt water pump, locker lights, etc.
Selectable alarm functions with mute capability, eg.
1. Short beep for indicating an engine room light
has been switched on, recurring every 30 minutes if light is left on
2. Continuing alarm for pump operation which can be muted by alarm mute switch
Visual indication as well as audible alarm on screen to indicate function
in operation. If more than one function is alarming this will alternate on
flashing screen.

Ultrasonic Tank Sender

tank level monitoring

new TSI Ultrasonic Tank Sender can be used on fuel (petrol or diesel), fresh water, grey water or black
ks. This means less SKUs to stock.
The TSI is programmable for the following outputs, 240-33ohm, 10-180ohm and 0-5volt.
The TSI offers low profile and standard SAE 5 hole mounting pattern, allowing it to be retrofitted to practically all other sender brands.
The TSI can be programmed for tank dimensions via a computer utalizing BEP Marines propietary TSI software, avoiding experimental
tank filling on site.
The TSI configured to a 0-5v output will connect straight into the BEP 600-TLM digital tank monitor.
When configured to a 240-33ohm or 10-180ohm output the TSI can be connected to teleflex, faria, VDO and many other popular
instrument brands.
