Maretron Alternating Current AC Monitor – ACM100-01

Description

Maretron ACM100 Alternating Current (AC) Monitor – ACM100-01

The Maretron ACM100 AC Monitor (ACM100-01) brings powerful alternating current power monitoring to your boat’s NMEA 2000® network, giving you real-time insight into your vessel’s shore power, generator output, and onboard AC systems. Designed for seamless integration with Maretron displays and software like N2KView®, the ACM100 turns critical AC electrical metrics into network data that can be viewed anywhere on the vessel with compatible NMEA 2000® interfaces. 

Whether you’re managing a generator, monitoring utility power, or tracking multiple AC busses on a large yacht, this monitor provides comprehensive electrical data — not just basic voltage and frequency — to help you diagnose power issues, optimize system performance, and protect your electronics from unexpected power anomalies. 

Key Performance Features

• Comprehensive Data Tracking: The ACM100 monitors all critical AC parameters, including Voltage, Current (Amps), Frequency (Hz), Real Power (Watts), and Reactive Power (VARs).

• True RMS Measurement: It uses True RMS technology to provide accurate readings even on distorted waveforms, which is common when running off older generators or modified sine-wave inverters.

• Total Energy Monitoring: The module calculates Energy Used (kWh) over time, allowing you to track exactly how much power your vessel is consuming during a trip or while docked.

• Advanced Safety Diagnostics: By monitoring the relationship between voltage and current (Power Factor), it can help identify inefficient equipment or potential electrical issues before they cause a failure.

• Plug-and-Play Network Integration: Data is broadcast over the NMEA 2000 bus, making it viewable on any compatible display like the Maretron DSM410 or a standard chartplotter.

Technical Specifications

• Voltage Range: 0V to 264V AC (supports both 120V and 240V systems).

• Current Capacity: Up to 150 Amps (when using the included current transformer).

• Frequency: 45Hz to 65Hz.

• Power Consumption: 50mA (1 LEN) from the NMEA 2000 bus.

• Waterproof Rating: IP64 (Splash-resistant).

What’s In The Box

The ACM100-01 kit includes the following components:

• ACM100 Module: The main bridge unit with an NMEA 2000 Micro-C connector.

• Current Transformer (CT): A high-accuracy ring sensor that clips around the AC hot wire to measure current without direct electrical contact.

• Mounting Hardware: Stainless steel screws for secure installation.

• User Manual: Comprehensive guide for wiring and NMEA 2000 configuration.
