Maretron Digital Switching - Part 3 of 3 - Unboxing and Product Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 сен 2024
- In this three-part series, Jeff unboxes the main components found in a Maretron Digital Switching system. Part one looks at the CLMD 12 12-Channel DC Load Controller Module. Part two looks at the CKM12 12-Button Multiplexed Keypad and part three looks at the CBMD12 12-Channel Optional Bypass Module.
The Bypass Module provides a manual method (ON/OFF switch) to control loads by providing power to each load in case of a CLMD12 malfunction or a NMEA 2000® network failure. The CBMD12 utilizes standard fuses for overcurrent protection and 12 Carling Curvette® Rocker Switches for manual control of each load. With the use of the Curvette rocker switches, there is no arcing that occurs while manually overriding a load. Furthermore, unlike other digital switching products, MPower does not require moving a fuse which can cause electrical connections to degrade, or the possibility for ignition.
It’s important to ensure that the current rating of the fuse for each load is appropriate to protect the load and the wiring for that load. Please note that the bypass module does not support paralleled outputs, since each circuit is controlled by a separate switch. Additionally, the bypass module does not support dimming of circuits.

It should very instructive if you had shown a wiring diagram with the three components.
We'll consider this for a future video.
Currently getting a Hughes 38 fixed up and ready for live aboard single handing. I have 10 fingers and 10 toes that all work okay. Why would I want digital switching ???
Digital switching is a way for boaters to reduce wiring needs aboard a boat and reduce the need for all wiring to be centralized at the DC panel. When building a boat, DC switching offers more convenient ways of switching circuits on and off from various locations on the boat. Also, you can create different modes, that automatically turn on or off a set of breakers, instead of manually turning all the breakers on/off individually. Anyone can share their reasons for digital switching.
LoL… you said “butt jumper” :D (sorry… 14 y/o me could not resist)
Good one... i did... it's embarrassing... at least you know the content is real.

Good question, but no. Basically reviewing new products.... we'll be doing product reviews for most new products. If you have products in mind, please share.
