® ® 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 marine data network. ACM100 ® output information is then displayed with networked NMEA 2000 equipment such as the

First, remove the four screws at the corners of the unit detaching the splash guard from the unit. On the bottom of the splash guard, you will find a label detailing the wire connection to pin number assignments, which are repeated in the table below. Pin # Signal Name Connection

® ® WARNING: If the supplied current transformer is placed around a wire carrying AC current, then extremely high voltages can develop on the output leads of the current transformer, with severe risk of electrocution. For safety, keep the output leads of the current transformer(s) shorted or tied together until they are connected to the proper terminals on the ACM100. WARNING: User supplied voltage sense cables must be 18 gauge or larger, have insulation rated to 600V, and must
