12-channel distribution module with optional fuse block and interconnect cable

The primary role of the CBMD12-R is to provide a bypass option with fuse protection for 12 circuits. It maintains a direct, fuse-protected power supply for critical loads, even in the event of a failure or maintenance of the CLMD12 module’s digital control system. This ensures physical redundancy and manual bypass capability for essential onboard equipment.

The CBMD12-R module is a 12-channel bypass module, meaning it can manage bypass and fuse protection for 12 separate circuits.

Yes, the CBMD12-R module comes with an integrated fuse block. This simplifies circuit protection without requiring the purchase of an additional component for this function.

The connection cable supplied with the CBMD12-R module is used to link the module to other components in the system, notably the CC CLMD12 charge control module, to ensure its integration and functionality within the electrical architecture.

No, the CBMD12-R is not a DC load controller module. It is a bypass module designed to complement a DC load controller module such as the CLMD12, providing an alternative and protected path for powering circuits.

The CBMD12-R module enhances circuit protection by integrating a fuse block. This ensures essential protection against overcurrents for each of the 12 circuits it distributes, even when the main digital control system is bypassed.

Using the CBMD12-R provides several advantages, including:

Redundancy: It ensures continuous power supply to critical loads even if the digital control system fails. Safety: Circuits remain protected by fuses even in manual bypass mode. Flexibility: It allows maintenance of the control system without interrupting power to essential equipment. Protection: It simplifies circuit protection with its integrated fuse solution.

The CBMD12-R module is an optional component. It is designed to provide additional flexibility and redundancy to systems equipped with the CC CLMD12 charge control module, but is not strictly required for the basic operation of the OctoPlex system.

Although marketed under the Raymarine brand, the CBMD12-R module is a key component of the Maretron OctoPlex MPower® digital switching platform. It fully integrates into this system architecture.

The CBMD12-R is specifically designed as an accessory for the CC CLMD12 charge control module. It is intended to complement the installation of this module by providing a bypass option.

Yes, the CBMD12-R module is part of the Maretron OctoPlex system, which is a certified NMEA 2000® digital switching platform. It is designed to integrate into an NMEA 2000 digital switching architecture.

The CBMD12-R is specifically listed as an accessory for the CLMD12 module. Although it is part of the Maretron OctoPlex platform, which includes other modules such as the CLMD16, its specifications indicate direct complementarity with the CLMD12 for its bypass function.

Yes, absolutely. The CBMD12-R is a key component of the Maretron OctoPlex MPower® digital switching platform, which is itself a fully configurable power distribution solution for AC and DC systems using a NMEA 2000® CAN bus. It is therefore perfectly suited to digital switching architectures.

Yes, indirectly. The OctoPlex system, which includes the CBMD12-R, is compatible with MFDs from various manufacturers, including Raymarine Axiom MFDs, via integrations such as MConnect Web Server or Garmin OneHelm™. This allows you to view and manage system functions on these displays.

The CBMD12-R is designed for relatively simple integration. It connects in parallel or as a complement to the outputs of the CC CLMD12 charge control module. It is specifically designed as a 12-channel bypass module, simplifying its connection to the existing system.

The CBMD12-R module is a physical bypass module with a fuse block. Although it integrates into a digital switching system (OctoPlex/NMEA 2000), its primary function is to provide a protected bypass path. The specific configuration after installation will pertain more to the CLMD12 module it complements, and the overall OctoPlex system, rather than the CBMD12-R itself, which is a bypass solution.

Yes, integrating the CBMD12-R is relatively simple and it connects in parallel or as a complement to the CLMD12 outputs. This provides redundancy and manual bypass capability.

Yes, it is important to note that OctoPlex products, including the CBMD12-R, are not ignition-protected devices. Therefore, they must not be installed in areas where combustible gases may be present. Periodic inspection of all mounting hardware and connections is also recommended.

No, the CBMD12-R module, like all other OctoPlex products, is not an ignition-protected device. It must not be installed in areas that may contain combustible gases for safety reasons.
