Maretron MPower CLMD16 16-Channel DC Load Controller Module with NMEA 2000 Interface

The Maretron MPower CLMD16 is a versatile 16-channel DC load controller designed for marine and industrial applications. This module features a total current capacity of 125 amps, with four breakers handling up to 25 amps each and twelve breakers supporting up to 12 amps. Its design allows for circuit paralleling, providing flexibility for larger loads or expanded circuit control. The CLMD16 supports two H-Bridge reversing polarity circuits, ideal for loads such as engine hatches, passerelles, and trim tabs, enabling precise control of complex operations. Equipped with eight hard-wired switch inputs, it can interface with various sensors or controls like bilge alarms, hatch positions, or manual switch controls, enhancing onboard automation and safety. Additionally, three tank level inputs enable monitoring of fluid levels, contributing to efficient system management.
One of the key features of the CLMD16 is its ability to report current flow through each of the 16 breakers. This current monitoring capability allows users to identify overcurrent conditions that could indicate faults or potential damage, as well as undercurrent situations such as burnt-out bulbs. The module supports multiple load types including lights, pumps, motors, and electronics, making it suitable for a wide range of marine applications. The NMEA 2000 interface ensures seamless integration with other marine electronic systems, providing real-time data sharing and control. Its IP67 rating guarantees protection against dust and water ingress, making it suitable for harsh marine environments. The CLMD16 is ignition protected and features opto-isolation from the NMEA 2000 network to prevent ground loops, ensuring reliable operation. Users can customize breaker power-up states, lock breakers to prevent inadvertent actuation, and control loads locally via capacitive touch switches. Safety features include automatic overcurrent and thermal shutdown for all electronic circuit breakers, enhancing system reliability. The module also offers eight digital input channels capable of sensing positive or ground signals, two resistive analog inputs, and a 4-20mA current loop input, supporting integration with diverse sensor types. The Maretron CLMD16 is ideal for remote control of navigation and boarding lights, alerting for burnt-out bulbs, and controlling area lighting with dimming capabilities, making it an essential component for advanced marine electrical systems.
