Designed for vessels of all sizes with smaller loads, the MPower^® CLMD12 is a compact 12-Channel DC Load Controller Module. Two of the 12 breakers handle a maximum of 12 amps, six handle a maximum of 10 amps and four handle a maximum of 5 amps with a total current capacity of 75 Amps. Additionally, circuits can be paralleled.

If a smaller circuit needs to be protected, each of the 12 breakers can be set to trip at lower current levels using the new Maretron N2KAnalyzer^® V3 software. In addition, the CLMD12 has inputs for up to 7 hard-wired switches that can be used to switch breaker states, or as inputs for other data such as bilge alarms or hatch positions, etc.

The CLMD12 handles many DC load types such as lights pumps, motors, and electronics. An added benefit of the CLMD12 is that it reports the current through each of the 12 breakers. This allows you to determine if loads are drawing too much or too little electrical current. This information can be used to report overcurrent faults and under-current conditions such as burnt-out bulbs.

For manual control of the loads, an optional MPower 12-Channel Bypass Module (CBMD12) can be installed in conjunction with the CLMD12.

The CLMD12 is sold off-the-shelf in the following configurations.

For manual control of the loads, an optional MPower® 12-Channel Bypass Module (CBMD12) can be installed in conjunction with the 12-Channel DC Load Controller Module (CLMD12). The maximum current capacity for the CBMD12 is 75 amps in 12V DC and 24V DC power systems.

The Bypass Module provides a manual method (ON/OFF switch) to control loads by providing power to each load in case of a CLMD12 malfunction or a NMEA 2000® network failure. The CBMD12 utilizes standard fuses for overcurrent protection and 12 Carling Curvette® Rocker Switches for manual control of each load. With the use of the Curvette rocker switches, there is no arcing that occurs while manually overriding a load. Furthermore, unlike other digital switching products, MPower does not require moving a fuse which can cause electrical connections to degrade, or the possibility for ignition.

It’s important to ensure that the current rating of the fuse for each load is appropriate to protect the load and the wiring for that load. Please note that the bypass module does not support paralleled outputs, since each circuit is controlled by a separate switch. Additionally, the bypass module does not support dimming of circuits.

CBMD12 12-Channel DC Bypass Module

For larger breakers and more circuits, the MPower^® CLMD16 is a 16-Channel DC Load Controller Module. Four of the 16 breakers handle a maximum of 25 amps and twelve breakers handle a maximum of 12 amps with a total current capacity of 125 Amps. Additionally, circuits can be paralleled.

The CLMD16 also supports two H-Bridge reversing polarity circuits that can be used for loads such as engine hatches, passerelles, trim tabs, etc. The CLMD16 has 8 inputs for hard-wired switches that can be used to switch breaker states, or as inputs for other data such as bilge alarms or hatch positions, etc. There are 3 inputs capable of monitoring tank levels.

The CLMD16 handles many DC load types such as lights, pumps, motors, and electronics. An added benefit of the CLMD16 is that it reports the current through each of the 16 breakers. This allows you to determine if loads are drawing too much or too little electrical current. This information can be used to report overcurrent faults and under-current conditions such as burnt-out bulbs.

The CLMD16 is sold off-the-shelf in the following configurations.

The CKM12 is a customizable keypad featuring laser-etched legends and LED function lights for each button. The LEDs also provide diagnostics when fault conditions are detected.

With the rugged mechanical packaging (IP69K), the CKM12 can be installed inside or outside the cabin. The low-profile design offers a seamless dashboard look and it can be mounted either vertically or horizontally.

The CKM12 offers significant advantages over traditional electromechanical switches such as longer actuation cycle (1,000,000), reduced wiring harness and reduced installation time. The CKM12 is sold off the shelf in two configurations and include a CKM to NMEA 2000^® Adapter Cable.

The CKM12 is sold off the shelf in two configurations of legends. Consult the factory for additional options and minimum quantities for customization..

he VMM-Series is a sealed multiplexed, digital switch module featuring the Carling V-Series Contura^® rocker switches. Well known for their cutting-edge design, high quality, maximum performance and unmatched reliability, the VMM-Series reduces the complexity and cost of traditional wiring harnesses, increases product life and reliability, and reduces installation time. Available in six simple configurations, VMM6 is a plug-and-play solution that delivers switching technology at a very attractive price point.

Available in four simple configurations, the VMM6 is an out-of-the box plug-and-play solution that delivers switching technology at a very attractive price point. In addition, for customers that want the option to source aftermarket actuators, we offer two configurations of the VMM6 without actuators (Part numbers A3801-5, A3801-6).

The VMM6 is sold off-the-shelf in the following configurations. Each configuration includes one 0.2m VMM to NMEA 2000^® adapter cable.

Other configurations are availiable on request with bulk puchase, including not supplying the adapter cable for builders who wish to do the cable harnesses themselves. Consult the factory for additional options and minimum quantities.
