1 Introduction  
Congratulations on your purchase of the Maretron Run Indicator Module (RIM100). Maretron  
has designed and built your RIM100 to the highest standards for years of dependable and  
accurate service.  
Maretron’s RIM100 monitors both AC and DC electrical circuits and reports, over an NMEA  
2000® network, whether or not the electrical circuit is energized and running. The RIM100  
works equally as well for monitoring manually switched loads (e.g., running lights, anchor  
lights, or deck lights) as it does for automatically switched loads. Monitoring automatically  
switched loads (e.g., bilge pumps, engine exhaust/intake fans, and transfer pumps) via the  
RIM100 is especially useful because you know exactly when equipment is, or isn't running.  
The Maretron RIM100 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 RIM100 in order to  
ensure optimal performance.

2.2 Choosing a Mounting Location  
Please consider the following when choosing a mounting location.  
1. The RIM100 is waterproof, so it can be mounted in a damp or dry location.  
2. The orientation is not important, so the RIM100 can be mounted on a horizontal deck,  
vertical bulkhead, or upside down if desired.  
3. The RIM100 is temperature-rated to 55°C (130°F), so it should be mounted away from  
engines or engine rooms where the operating temperature exceeds the specified limit.

2.3 Mounting the RIM100  
Attach the RIM100 securely to the vessel using the included stainless steel mounting screws  
or other fasteners as shown in Figure 1 below.  
Figure 1 – Mounting the RIM100  
2.4 Connecting the RIM100  
The RIM100 requires two types of electrical connections: 1) the NMEA 2000® connection (refer  
to Section 2.4.1), and 2) the monitored load connections, which are described in Section 2.4.2.  
2.4.1 NMEA 2000® Connection  
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 RIM100 to an  
NMEA 2000® network using a Maretron NMEA 2000® cable (or compatible cable) by  
connecting the female end of the cable to the RIM100 (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 RIM100 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® network  
products.

The RIM100 will detect the presence or absence of either AC or DC voltages. Before  
attempting to connect the RIM100 to the AC source, determine the type of system you will be  
monitoring. The RIM100 supports the connection and monitoring of two different system types;  
1) AC loads (Section 2.4.2.1), or 2) DC loads (Section 2.4.2.2).

WARNING: The voltages present on AC circuits can cause electrocution.  
Before making any electrical connections to the RIM100, ensure that power is  
removed from all AC circuits that will be connected to the RIM100. Only restore  
AC power after all connections have been made to the RIM100 and the splash  
guard has been re-installed.  
WARNING: User supplied voltage sense cables must be 18 gauge or larger,  
have insulation rated to 600V, and must have the conductor connected to the  
hot lead of the AC power source protected by a fuse rated at 3A or less (the  
current consumed by the voltage sense circuit on the RIM100 is negligible, at  
less than 10mA).  
2.4.2.1 AC Load  
Please refer to Figure 3 for connecting the RIM100 to an AC load. You may connect either  
terminal from the load to either terminal of the pair of terminals on the RIM100. This figure  
shows the connection of the monitored load to channel 1 via the terminals named V1+ and  
V1-. Connections to other channels are similar.

2.4.3 Checking Connections  
Once the NMEA 2000® connection and load connection(s) to the RIM100 have been  
completed, check to see that information is being properly transmitted by observing an  
appropriate NMEA 2000® display. If you don’t see Run Indicator status, refer to Section 4,  
“Troubleshooting”.  
2.5 Configuring the RIM100  
The RIM100 will transmit data over the NMEA 2000® network as it is shipped from the factory;  
however, it may require configuration, depending on how many loads are being monitored.  
There are several configurable items within the RIM100, which are detailed in the remainder of  
this section.  
You configure the RIM100 using a Maretron DSM250 display or other NMEA 2000® display  
unit that is capable of configuring the RIM100. Please refer to the Maretron DSM250 User’s  
Manual for details.  
2.5.1 Device Instance  
NMEA 2000® provides a unique device instance for each switch/run monitoring device on a  
vessel. This value should be programmed in each RIM100 so that each RIM100 is associated  
with a unique device instance number. The default instance number is 0, which is used to  
indicate the first RIM100 that is hooked to the network. Subsequent RIM100s connected to the  
network would be numbered 1, 2, and so on.  
Page 6  
Revision 1.0  
 
       
®
2.5.2 Channel #1 - #6 Mode  
You must configure the RIM100 as to whether a particular channel should be enabled. The  
allowable values for this parameter are as follows:  
“Enable” (default) – Use this value if the channel is being used to monitor a load.  
“Disable” – Use this value if no load circuit is connected to the corresponding channel’s  
terminals. The RIM100 will indicate that no data is available for this circuit.  
2.5.3 Channel #1 - #6 Label  
Each channel that can be monitored by the RIM100 may be programmed with a text label that  
will be displayed in monitoring software and displays that recognize device labels, such as the  
Maretron N2KView Vessel Monitoring System and the Maretron DSM250 display. The label  
will let you assign an easy-to-remember text label (example: “Forward Bilge Pump”) to make it  
easy for you to identify the device being monitored.  
2.5.4 Advanced Configuration…  
Certain parameters do not normally need to be set in order for normal operation, but are  
included in an advanced configuration section for use in special situations.  
2.5.5 NMEA 2000® PGN Enable/Disable  
The RIM100 is capable of transmitting NMEA 2000® messages (or PGNs) associated with  
monitored load circuits. You may individually enable or disable each of these messages. You  
may also change the rate of transmission of each of these messages if desired.  
2.5.6 Restore Factory Defaults  
Selecting this configuration option causes all stored parameters in the RIM100 to be reset to  
the values they contained when the unit was manufactured.  
2.5.7 Installation Description…  
The RIM100, along with all other Level A certified NMEA devices, has two user-programmable  
installation description fields. You may program these fields with information specific to the  
device, such as date installed, the initials/name of the installer, the physical location of the  
device, etc. This configuration option will allow you to program the values of these fields.  
3 Maintenance  
Regular maintenance is important to ensure continued proper operation of the Maretron  
RIM100. Perform the following tasks periodically:  
Clean the unit with a soft cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners as they may remove  
paint or markings or may corrode the RIM100 enclosure or seals.  
Ensure that the unit is mounted securely and cannot be moved relative to the mounting  
surface. If the unit is loose, tighten the mounting screws.
