Intelligent Direct Current Control for Marine Applications

The Maretron DCR100-01 Direct Current Relay Module is a versatile and intelligent solution for managing DC loads aboard marine vessels. Designed to integrate seamlessly with an NMEA 2000® network, this module allows remote or onboard activation of its six independent relays through Maretron’s N2KView® software. Whether controlling lights, pumps, motors, or external AC circuits via additional relays, the DCR100 ensures reliable performance while providing real-time current monitoring for enhanced safety and diagnostics.

Advanced Relay Switching and Monitoring

Equipped with six high-capacity relays, the DCR100-01 offers precise control over various DC loads. Each relay supports up to 10 amps, making it ideal for handling both resistive and inductive loads. The device also features automatic overcurrent and thermal shutdown protections, safeguarding critical onboard electrical systems from potential damage due to excessive power draw.
