DESCRIPTION
Centralised Marine Electrical, Bilge, and Tank Monitoring in One Compact Display
Managing a vessel's critical electrical and fluid systems often requires multiple gauges that clutter the helm and complicate wiring. The Blue Sea AC/DC Vessel Systems M2 Monitor VSM consolidates essential data from your DC battery banks, AC power supply, bilge pumps, and fluid tanks into a single, space-saving unit. Featuring a high-contrast Organic LED (OLED) digital display, this marine system monitor delivers exceptional readability across various lighting conditions, from bright midday sun to night-time navigation.
Engineered for demanding marine environments, the M2 VSM provides boat owners and marine technicians with real-time visibility and early warning alerts. By replacing standalone voltmeters, ammeters, and tank gauges with one integrated module, you reduce dashboard footprint while improving situational awareness on the water.
Key Features
- All-in-One System Visibility: Simultaneously tracks DC battery health, AC shore or generator power, bilge pump activity, and fluid tank capacities.
- High-Contrast OLED Screen: Bright, crisp digital readout navigated via weather-resistant tactile control buttons.
- Dual Battery Bank Tracking: Comprehensive State of Charge (SoC), voltage, and current tracking for a primary bank, plus voltage monitoring for a secondary bank.
- Configurable Audio/Visual Alarms: Customisable high and low alerts for electrical thresholds, tank levels, and excessive bilge cycling.
- NMEA 2000 Certified: Integrates directly into your existing marine network backbone using standard connectors without proprietary cabling.
Comprehensive DC and AC Power Management
Protecting your marine electrical system from deep discharge or irregular shore power is vital for onboard safety and equipment longevity. For DC systems, the primary input measures voltage, current, and State of Charge (SoC) for your main house battery bank, while a secondary input tracks the voltage of an auxiliary or starter battery. Configurable alarms alert you to high or low voltage, high current draw, and low battery status before permanent cell damage occurs.
On the AC side, the unit monitors a single AC supply for voltage, current, and frequency. Whether connected to marina shore power or an onboard generator, customisable alarms for voltage drops, current overloads, and frequency deviations help safeguard sensitive AC appliances.
Intelligent Bilge and Tank Inputs
The M2 Monitor features two versatile auxiliary inputs that can be independently configured for either bilge pump or fluid tank monitoring:
- Bilge Monitoring Mode: Goes beyond simple on/off indicators by logging active pump activity, cycle counts over the last 24 hours, average daily cycles, and total lifetime cycles. High-priority alarms can be set for excessive run-time minutes within the last hour or abnormal cycle frequency, providing early detection of slow hull leaks or faulty float switches.
- Tank Monitoring Mode: Displays fluid levels in litres, gallons, or as a percentage of total capacity. Unlike standard gauges that struggle with irregular hull contours, the M2 VSM allows custom tank shapes to be programmed or auto-calibrated for accurate volume readings, complete with high and low level alerts for fuel, freshwater, or greywater tanks.
Seamless NMEA 2000 Integration
Designed for modern marine electronics architectures, the Blue Sea 1850B is NMEA 2000 certified. It connects directly to a shared NMEA 2000 network backbone using standard connectors, eliminating the need for complex point-to-point wiring looms. Furthermore, it supports function sharing with compatible multi-function displays, including CZone Touch 5 and Touch 10 interfaces, allowing you to view system data across your vessel.
