Maretron SIM100 Switch Indicator Module

The Maretron SIM100 Switch Indicator Module is designed to monitor switch closure devices such as safety equipment, security systems, and vessel monitoring equipment. These devices can include heat, smoke, carbon monoxide, explosive vapor detectors, motion sensors, vibration sensors, glass break sensors, door and port hole magnetic switches, valve status switches, and high water bilge sensors.

The SIM100 continually monitors the switch closure devices and provides information about their state on the NMEA 2000 network. This allows the crew to be alerted of any potential conditions or problems that require further investigation.

One of the advanced features of the SIM100 is the ability to detect power disconnection from the monitored device. It can also detect if the signal wires have been disconnected due to corrosion, tampering, or any other reason, if the monitored device supports this functionality.

With the Maretron SIM100 Switch Indicator Module, you can have peace of mind knowing that critical sensors are receiving power, signal wires are connected, and all safety, security, and vessel functions are constantly monitored.
