® 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.

Configure the RIM100 (Section 2.5) 2 Installation 2.1 Unpacking the Box When unpacking the box containing the Maretron RIM100, you should find the following items: 1 – RIM100 – Run Indicator Module 1 – Parts Bag containing 4 Stainless Steel Mounting Screws 1 – RIM100 User’s Manual 1 – Warranty Registration Card If any of these items are missing or damaged, please contact Maretron. 2.
® 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. Do not use threadlocking compounds containing methacrylate ester, such as Loctite Red (271), as they will cause stress cracking of the plastic enclosure. 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.
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.

® 2.4.3 Checking Connections Once the NMEA 2000® connection and load connection(s) to the RIM100 have been completed, check to see that information is being properly transmitted by observing an appropriate NMEA 2000® display. If you don’t see Run Indicator status, refer to Section 4, “Troubleshooting”. 2.
RIM100 User's Manual 2.5.5 NMEA 2000® PGN Enable/Disable The RIM100 is capable of transmitting NMEA 2000® messages (or PGNs) associated with monitored load circuits. You may individually enable or disable each of these messages. You may also change the rate of transmission of each of these messages if desired. 2.5.6 Restore Factory Defaults Selecting this configuration option causes all stored parameters in the RIM100 to be reset to the values they contained when the unit was manufactured. 2.5.
® Symptom No Run Indicator data visible on NMEA 2000® network. Troubleshooting Procedure Ensure that the RIM100 is properly connected to the NMEA 2000® network. Ensure that the monitored loads are properly connected to the RIM100. Ensure that each indicator that you wish to monitor is not configured as “Disabled”. A Run Indicator always reads “Off” Revision 1.1 Ensure that the RIM100 has the appropriate NMEA 2000® PGNs enabled as described in Section 2.5.5.
