2.5.2  Channel #1 - #6 Mode 
You must configure the RIM100 as to whether a particular channel should be enabled. The 
allowable values for this parameter are as follows: 
 
•  “Enable” (default) – Use this value if the channel is being used to monitor a load. 
•  “Disable” – Use this value if no load circuit is connected to the corresponding channel’s 
terminals.  The RIM100 will indicate that no data is available for this circuit. 
 
2.5.3  Channel #1 - #6 Label 
 
Each channel that can be monitored by the RIM100 may be programmed with a text label that 
will be displayed in monitoring software and displays that recognize device labels, such as the 
Maretron N2KView Vessel Monitoring System and the Maretron DSM250 display. The label 
will let you assign an easy-to-remember text label (example: “Forward Bilge Pump”) to make it 
easy for you to identify the device being monitored. 
 
2.5.4  Advanced Configuration… 
Certain parameters do not normally need to be set in order for normal operation, but are 
included in an advanced configuration section for use in special situations. 
 
2.5.5  NMEA 2000
®
 PGN Enable/Disable 
The RIM100 is capable of transmitting NMEA 2000
®
 messages (or PGNs) associated with 
monitored load circuits. You may individually enable or disable each of these messages. You 
may also change the rate of transmission of each of these messages if desired. 
 
2.5.6  Restore Factory Defaults 
Selecting this configuration option causes all stored parameters in the RIM100 to be reset to 
the values they contained when the unit was manufactured. 
2.5.7  Installation Description… 
The RIM100, along with all other Level A certified NMEA devices, has two user-programmable 
installation description fields. You may program these fields with information specific to the 
device, such as date installed, the initials/name of the installer, the physical location of the 
device, etc.  This configuration option will allow you to program the values of these fields. 
 
3  Maintenance 
Regular maintenance is important to ensure continued proper operation of the Maretron 
RIM100.  Perform the following tasks periodically: 
 
•  Clean the unit with a soft cloth.  Do not use chemical cleaners as they may remove 
paint or markings or may corrode the RIM100 enclosure or seals. 
•  Ensure that the unit is mounted securely and cannot be moved relative to the mounting 
surface.  If the unit is loose, tighten the mounting screws.
