Digital Input Expansion Module (12 CH) – 12DI-EXP-N2K Across Ocean Systems Ltd. ECHANICAL NSTALLATION HOOSING THE NSTALLATION OCATION The installer should consider the following parameters when choosing a mounting location: The Module should be protected from direct water exposure. The Module should be mounted near the digital signals to be measured. The Module should be mounted away from any AC cabling or power sources. The Module should be mounted away from any large sources of Electromagnet Interference (EMI). Wiring between the Module and digital signals should not run parallel to high voltage or high current carrying wires or cables. OUNTING THE RODUCT Securing the Digital Input Expansion Module is a crucial step in the installation process. This ensures safety to the product while providing ease of access to the installer. There are two steps to securing the Digital Input Expansion Module: Ensure that there is enough room to accommodate the depth of the product and the attached cables. Note, the NMEA 2000 connection exits from the top of the unit and requires a substantial bend radius for the cable. Use recommended M4 or #8-32 screws to secure it into place at each side. Do not over-tighten the screws as it can lead to damaging the enclosure.

Digital Input Expansion Module (12 CH) – 12DI-EXP-N2K Across Ocean Systems Ltd. ABLING ECOMMENDATIONS If the ground connection is shared throughout the vessel, including the ground to Vitals, all that is needed to activate a digital input is to connect it on the load side of the switch for the device being monitored. Make sure that the reference terminals, S1, S2, or S3 are connected to the appropriate reference. Ensure that there are no large ground loops. Note that if voltage source is connected to S1, S2 or S3 to apply appropriate fuse protection (1A) to protect the wire and the source (ABYC standard calls for protection within 1’ from the source) Follow recommended wiring practices and standards as per relevant local codes.

Digital Input Expansion Module (12 CH) – 12DI-EXP-N2K Across Ocean Systems Ltd. PPLICATION XAMPLES 6.4.1 Connecting to a bilge pump switch The following diagram shows an example where a bilge pump is monitored by Vitals, through the Digital Input Expansion Module. In this example, the vessel has a secondary battery for the bilge pump, an automatic float switch, and a manual bilge toggle. In this configuration, the bilge pump is triggered either by the manual switch or, when switched in auto mode, by the float switch. This causes the bilge pump to turn on and activates the digital input on the Digital Input Expansion Module. When using another power source, the grounds must be connected.
