INTRODUCTION The Oceanic Systems NMEA2000® Navigation Light Controller Part No. 5971 and Nav Light Controller Expansion Units Part No. 5972 are designed to control up to 24 Navigation Light LED Channels on a NMEA2000® network. The 5971 is powered from the NMEA2000® network and has a primary and a secondary 12 or 24 Volt DC power connection for the navigation LEDS.
INSTALLATION 2.1 UNPACKING THE BOX You will find the following items in the 5971 shipping box: 1 x 5971 NMEA2000® Navigation Light Controller 1 x 5971/5972 Installation and Operation Manual (This document) You will find the following items in the 5972 shipping box: 1 x 5972 Nav Light Expansion Unit 1 x 5971/5972 Installation and Operation Manual (This document) 2.2 MOUNTING THE UNIT...

Carefully attach the network drop cable to this plug and hand tighten until it is fully seated. Take care to match the orientation of the pip inside the socket to the recess inside the drop cable plug.
2.4 CONNECTING THE LED POWER INPUT CABLES TO THE UNIT The unit has both a primary navigation lamp power connection and a secondary power connection with automatic fall back if the primary power fails. Each power source has a local green LED indicating power good from that source.
Note that LED connections are polarity sensitive and must be correctly wired to work. Each connection can supply 750mA with a maximum total current from each unit of 2.5 Amps. After connecting the LEDs the unit should be calibrated for each channel which allows the unit to learn the current draw of each channel and warn if the LED has a partial failure or the connection is broken or corroded.
Each channel also has an channel status indicator LED that shows the following characteristics: LED Characteristics Meaning No LED illuminated Channel switched OFF Green LED Flashing Channel switched ON but NOT calibrated Solid Green LED Channel calibrated and switched ON Red LED flashing Channel switched ON but over hours Solid Red LED...
OPERATION Ensure that the NMEA2000® network cable is securely attached and that the Device Instance rotary switches have been set to a valid and unique Device Instance on the network. The switches are marked with a Hexadecimal notation, so each switch has 16 possible positions. The combination of the two switches can be set from “00”...
