About CZone

®
The CZone network is an NMEA 2000-compliant CAN-based system. When the MasterShunt 500 is connected, open the
CZone Configuration Tool on a Windows laptop or notebook. Either do the configuration while connected to the network or use
a prepared configuration file (.zcf). Ensure that a DIP Switch is assigned. For detailed information on the configuration also see
section 5.1.1.
Adding the MasterShunt 500 to a CZone system configuration
Precondition: This section assumes that a CZone system is already configured and the CZone Configuration Tool is open.
In the CZone Configuration Tool, from the Modules tab, press the Add button. From the Module Type drop-down list select
Shunts and continue with the following steps.
MasterShunt 500 – User and Installation manual
1. Enter an understandable Module Name.
2. Each device on a CZone network has a
unique 'identification' number; the Dipswitch.
This number is assigned during configuration
and must match the DIP switch settings. On
devices without physical DIP switches, like
the MasterShunt 500, this is done in the
CZone Configuration Tool. When connected
to the system: either select one from the
drop-down list or edit graphically, and press
the Force Dipswitch for Address button.
3. Select the Battery Type.
4. Enter the Battery Capacity.
5. Select the Nominal Voltage.
6. Option: press the Advanced Settings button
to configure advanced options.
7. NMEA2000 DC Instances are used to
differentiate between multiple DC sources in
this case. Ensure all NMEA 2000 Instances
are unique for each source being monitored.
8. Tick Show Battery Temperature to enable
temperature monitoring.
9. Select the configuration Mode (more options
in the near future).
10. Tick Reverse Current if the load is at the left
side of the MasterShunt 500.
11. Enter the Depth of Discharge (DoD) value
(100% = empty; 0% = full).
An example: set the DoD remaing to 80% to
discharge batteries only to 20%. This spare
capacity of 20% will not appear in the
monitoring. In this case the Battery Low level
should be set to 0% and Battery Pre Low to
10% (see step 15).
12. Enter the Battery Full Current (also known
as Amp=Full). This should be between 2.5%
and 4% of Battery Capacity.
13. The default values of these settings fit most
cases.
14. Press OK to return to the Module Modification
window and press the Alarm/Switch
Settings button.
