® 1 Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Maretron Run Indicator Module (RIM100). Maretron has designed and built your RIM100 to the highest standards for years of dependable and accurate service. Maretron’s RIM100 monitors both AC and DC electrical circuits and reports, over an NMEA 2000® network, whether or not the electrical circuit is energized and running. The RIM100 works equally as well for monitoring manually switched loads (e.g.

® 2.3 Mounting the RIM100 Attach the RIM100 securely to the vessel using the included stainless steel mounting screws or other fasteners as shown in Figure 1 below. Figure 1 – Mounting the RIM100 2.4 Connecting the RIM100 The RIM100 requires two types of electrical connections: 1) the NMEA 2000® connection (refer to Section 2.4.1), and 2) the monitored load connections, which are described in Section 2.4.2. 2.4.1 NMEA 2000® Connection The NMEA 2000® connector can be found on the side of the enclosure.
RIM100 User's Manual Figure 2 – NMEA 2000® Connector Face Views 2.4.2 Monitored Load Connections The RIM100 monitored load connections are made by connecting to the 12-pin terminal strip on the top of the unit. First, remove the four screws at the corners of the unit detaching the splash guard from the unit. On the bottom of the splash guard, you will find a label detailing the wire connection to pin number assignments, which are repeated in the table below.
® WARNING: The voltages present on AC circuits can cause electrocution. Before making any electrical connections to the RIM100, ensure that power is removed from all AC circuits that will be connected to the RIM100. Only restore AC power after all connections have been made to the RIM100 and the splash guard has been re-installed.

® 2.5.2 Channel #1 - #6 Mode You must configure the RIM100 as to whether a particular channel should be enabled. The allowable values for this parameter are as follows: • • “Enable” (default) – Use this value if the channel is being used to monitor a load. “Disable” – Use this value if no load circuit is connected to the corresponding channel’s terminals. The RIM100 will indicate that no data is available for this circuit. 2.5.
RIM100 User's Manual • • Check the security of the cable connected to the NMEA 2000® connector, and tighten if necessary. Check the security of all of the load connections on the top of the unit and tighten if necessary. 4 Troubleshooting If you notice unexpected operation of the Maretron RIM100, follow the troubleshooting procedures in this section to remedy simple problems. If these steps do not solve your problem, please contact Maretron Technical Support (refer to Section 6 for contact information).
