Designed for vessels of all sizes with smaller loads, the MPower® CLMD12 is a compact 12-Channel DC Load Controller Module. Two of the 12 breakers handle a maximum of 12 amps, six handle a maximum of 10 amps and four handle a maximum of 5 amps with a total current capacity of 75 Amps. Additionally, circuits can be paralleled.
If a smaller circuit needs to be protected, each of the 12 breakers can be set to trip at lower current levels using the new Maretron N2KAnalyzer® V3 software. In addition, the CLMD12 has inputs for up to 7 hard-wired switches that can be used to switch breaker states, or as inputs for other data such as bilge alarms or hatch positions, etc.
The CLMD12 handles many DC load types such as lights pumps, motors, and electronics. An added benefit of the CLMD12 is that it reports the current through each of the 12 breakers. This allows you to determine if loads are drawing too much or too little electrical current. This information can be used to report overcurrent faults and under-current conditions such as burnt-out bulbs.
For manual control of the loads, an optional MPower 12-Channel Bypass Module (CBMD12) can be installed in conjunction with the CLMD12.
The CLMD12 is sold off-the-shelf in the following configurations.
