1 Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Maretron Alternating Current (AC) Monitor (ACM100).
Maretron has designed and built your ACM100 to the highest standards for years of dependable
and accurate service.
Maretron's ACM100 is a device which monitors AC power sources and outputs information about
these sources onto the industry standard NMEA 2000
information is then displayed with networked NMEA 2000
DSM150/DSM250 dedicated display or with NMEA 2000
N2KView. The ACM100 can sense voltages up to 380VAC (line-to-neutral) and currents up to
400A.
The Maretron ACM100 is designed to operate within the harsh demands of the marine
environment. However, no piece of marine electronic equipment can function properly unless
installed, configured, and maintained in the correct manner. Please read carefully and follow
these instructions for installation, configuration, and usage of the Maretron ACM100 in order to
ensure optimal performance.
