Cut fuel costs up to 25% with the T18000 system.

The TI8000 Integrated Marine System from Texas Instruments can help you cut fuel costs by as much as 25%.

Optimum fuel/speed ratio

The TI8000 yields a huge operational advantage by measuring and displaying your fuel burn rate with exceptional accuracy—the result of a unique system of fuel sensors and a rugged on-board computer.

You also have a wealth of other important data, prominently displayed in simple bar-graph form: Engine

RPMs, speed over the bottom, fuel supply remaining, and range, as well as other data.

This computerized information helps you fine-tune power settings for the ©1984 TI 27-3959 combination of speed and fuel use that best matches your trip profile. Quickly, you optimize performance for varying loads and sea states.

Steer the shortest route— a straight line

The TI8000 also integrates information from Loran or other sensors to help you navigate the most efficient course. You reach your destination by the shortest possible route for even more fuel savings.

More efficient planning with recorded data

Underway, the TI8000 monitors several critical measures of engine operation, such as oil pressure, and automatically records them on a cassette. Later, this data serves as a guide for planning more efficient trips. And it helps you manage overall fleet operation.

Total fuel savings? One vessel owner reports a 27% reduction in fuel consump- tion. With a speed reduction of only a tenth of a knot. This TI8000 paid for itself in a matter of weeks.
