Maretron's DCM100 DC Monitor is an advanced electronic monitoring device used
to measure the voltage and current of any direct current (DC) power source or
load. Examples of DC power sources that can be monitored with the DCM100 include
batteries, alternators, solar panels, and wind generators. The DCM100 can also
be used to monitor DC loads like inverters, windlasses, DC refrigerators, or any
DC branch circuit. When the DCM100 is used to monitor batteries, sophisticated
circuitry and software algorithms monitor battery temperature, load current,
charging current and terminal voltage to precisely compute battery state of
charge, and time remaining. To measure current, the DCM100 uses an included
state-of-the-art Hall effect current sensor which simply slips over the wire -
you don't have to break connections or install connectors as you do with inline
shunts used by other solutions. Best of all, the DCM100 is NMEA 2000
certified so you can view any and all DC information anywhere on the vessel
using a compatible NMEA 2000
display.
The DCM100 is a key component of Maretron's N2KView
vessel monitoring and control system.
