Maretron 16-channel DC load control module

Maretron CLMD16: Advanced 16-Channel DC Load Control Module

Elevate your vessel´s electrical system with the Maretron MPower CLMD16, a state-of-the-art 16-channel DC load control module designed for the modern mariner. This powerful component revolutionizes on-board power management by replacing traditional mechanical circuit breakers and switches with intelligent, solid-state digital control. Seamlessly integrated into your NMEA 2000 network, the CLMD16 provides unprecedented control, monitoring, and automation for all your DC-powered devices, from lighting and pumps to navigation equipment and electronics.

Experience a new era of reliability and convenience. The CLMD16 allows for centralized control of up to sixteen individual circuits directly from your networked multi-function display (MFD), a dedicated Maretron display, or even a tablet or smartphone via a compatible gateway. This eliminates the need for bulky, complex breaker panels, streamlining your helm and simplifying wiring installations. Gain peace of mind with advanced safety features, including programmable electronic circuit protection for each channel, which offers superior response and reset capabilities compared to conventional fuses.

Beyond simple on/off switching, the CLMD16 delivers intelligent power management. Each channel continuously monitors the electrical current, providing real-time data that is crucial for diagnostics and preventative maintenance. Instantly identify a burnt-out navigation light (zero current draw) or a struggling bilge pump (excessive current draw) before it becomes a critical failure. This granular level of insight empowers you to manage your vessel´s power resources more effectively and ensures the integrity of your entire electrical infrastructure. Built to withstand the harshest marine conditions with a rugged, waterproof design, the solid-state construction guarantees long-term, trouble-free operation without the wear and tear associated with mechanical relays.
