MARETRON DSM 410 fuel level

[Riptide III]

I just installed two tank level indicators. The dsm recognizes them. Allows me to program gallons for both of them but I can’t find a screen that shows both tank levels. What am I missing?

You have to build a page. There are many styles that can be set up so can't provide guidance here. But, press Enter then Favorite Screens and go from there. It'll get intuitive after a bit. Read that manual.

Just found it. Thank you

You can select a screen layout i.e. single, dual triple or quad display, in up down or side by side configs, then choose the data to be displayed, and the type of display i.e. number, graph, gauges etc.

I think I have a total fuel gauge on the top half and the port/star fuel gauge and total gals for the individual tank split side/side on the bottom. Gauges are good for a quick glance, the total gallons in each tank are great for knowing how much fuel to put in each tank and to pre plan the amount of diesel cocktail to add.

One suggestion now that you've joined the Maretron crowd. Buy a USB100 or IPG100 gateway and back up your configuration files. If one of the screens ever dies or needs service, it is a 5 minute procedure to download your file vs hours of button pushing. I've found both used for a decent price.

I find having Upper left for port remaining, upper right stb remaining and across the bottom total fuel remaining. That has been a great screen for fuel management. When the port and stb get too out of sync, then it's time to switch the generator to the other side.
