Remote Monitoring Units (RMU)
The Remote Monitoring Units are display extensions of the Main Control Unit.
On larger vessels, one or more RMUs are typically installed in locations where
they can be easily monitored. To afford installation flexibility, two mounting
configurations are offered: Surface / Bulkhead mount (identical to the Main
Control Unit), and a panel mount design for installing into Consoles or Helm
Stations.
The RMU’s front panel display will have the same LED indicators and alarm
speaker as found on the Main Control Unit.

System Components
Main Control Unit (MCU)
Mounted in the engine compartment, the Main Control Unit contains a
microprocessor which is responsible for the systems operation.
The MCU front panel has an onboard audible alarm and silence
control, ambient temperature sensor and LED temperature status
indicators. There are single and twin engine models available. Both
models are identical in size and have flanges for surface mounting.
Units are ideally positioned on vertical surfaces/ bulkheads which are
both visually and physically accessible.
Each MCU has two types of connectors on the bottom of its enclosure.
The first is used to connect the shaft seal sensor, neutral safety switch
and optional remote siren. The second is used for connecting the
Remote Monitor Unit and 12VDC power source or to connect the
SmartSeal System to a NMEA 2000 network.
Main Control Units are IP66 rated (waterproof for heavy spray and brief
submersion)
