methacrylate ester, such as Loctite Red (271), as they will cause stress cracking of the plastic
enclosure.

2.4 Connecting the ACM100

The ACM100 requires two types of electrical connections: 1) the NMEA 2000
(refer to Section 2.4.1), and 2) the AC sensor connections (i.e., current transducer(s) and
sensing voltage(s) connections), which are described in Section 2.4.2.

2.4.1 NMEA 2000

®
The NMEA 2000 connector can be found on the side of the enclosure. The NMEA 2000
connector is a round five pin male connector (see Figure 2). You connect the ACM100 to an
®
NMEA 2000 network using a Maretron NMEA 2000
the female end of the cable to the ACM100 (note the key on the male connector and keyway on
the female connector). Be sure the cable is connected securely and that the collar on the cable
connector is tightened firmly. Connect the other end of the cable (male) to the NMEA 2000
network in the same manner. The ACM100 is designed such that you can plug or unplug it from
®
an NMEA 2000 network while the power to the network is connected or disconnected. Please
follow recommended practices for installing NMEA 2000
