  • Page 11: Wiring

    Power Control connection (yellow wire) Planning is required how you want to be able to turn on and off the Zeus2 Glass Helm and connected compatible devices. The yellow Power Control wire on the Zeus2 Glass Helm processor power cable can either be an input that will turn on the processor when power is applied, or an output that turns on other devices when the processor is powered on.
  • Page 12 In the diagram above, if the left Zeus2 Glass Helm processor turns on using the power button and is set as the Power Control Master, it will output voltage on the Power Control bus to power on the other Zeus2 Glass Helm pocessor, the Radar Interface, and the SonicHub.

    Micro-C terminator (one male, one female) NMEA 0183 device connection The Zeus2 Glass Helm processor has two 2-way NMEA 0183 ports, which are connected via two discrete cables. Each cable is dedicated to one of the two internal processors. Both the baud rate (up to 38,400 baud) and sentences output by the Zeus2 processor, can be confi gured.

  • Page 18: Ethernet Device Connection

    Connecting to more than three devices If connecting more than three devices to a Zeus2 Glass Helm processor , a network expansion Port (NEP-2) must be used. If the connected device has its own additional ports, (eg LSS-2) these ports may be used instead.
