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
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.
