Czone DDS Interface Only 80-911-0260-01 It is obligatory that every person who works on or with the DDS is completely familiar with the contents of this manual, and that he/she carefully follows the instructions contained herein. Installation of, and work on the DDS, may only be carried out by qualified, authorized, and trained personnel, consistent with the locally applicable standards and taking into consideration the safety guidelines and measures (chapter 2 of this manual).
• Connection and protection must be done in accordance with local standards Do not work on the DDS or system if it is still connected to a power source. Only allow changes in your • electrical system to be carried out by qualified electricians ...
3 OVERVIEW DESCRIPTION The DDS module uses a combination of MOSFET switching technology and relay output channels to achieve a desirably small footprint. The CZone DDS has advanced bilge pump functionality on all relay output channels, allowing bilge pump control and external (automatic) voltage detection from a single wire.

CHANNEL BYPASS The DDS relay output channels can be bypassed manually by changing the position of the fuse. If a channel is bypassed, the load will be powered directly via the fuse. The fuses need to be in the normal position for the output to be controlled via CZone.
Ensure circuit labels are fitted and all channels labelled correctly. • The DDS must be mounted at least 50mm away from high current carrying conductors such as anchor winches, bow thruster cables, speakers, transformers, and other high inductive loads. Ensure the bulkhead that the unit will be attached to is sufficiently strong to take the weight of the unit and •...
4. Torque down each mounting screw, 6Nm (53.1in/lbs.) max. 5. Ensure enough space is left below the DDS to easily install cable connectors and access for maintenance. NOTE – If mounting vertically is required, the main positive stud of the DDS must remain orientated downwards...
PLANNING Make a list of all inputs and outputs to be wired to the DDS and take note of the output channel ratings and input channel functions as shown in the tables below. Assign each input and output to a channel on the DDS, ensuring loads are wired to the appropriate channel rating and function.
4. Before inserting the connector it’s highly recommended to apply a small amount of silicone grease along the sealing surfaces/gasket. This will make assembly/disassembly easier. 5. Insert the connector into the DDS until it clicks into place. 6. Secure and neaten up the cables against the bulkhead to reduce the strain on the connectors.
NOTE – Connector D digital inputs are ‘Switch to POS’ only and digital outputs are 250mA POS output only. 5. Connect NMEA2000 network 1. Connect a NMEA2000 drop cable from the DDS to the vessel/vehicle NMEA2000 backbone. 2. Ensure the NMEA2000 network is properly terminated and connected to a 12V power source (Do not power up network yet).
6. With the CZone Configuration Tool, check the software version of all modules on the network, including the DDS, and update if necessary. 7. Write configuration file to the DDS and the rest of the CZone modules on the system (Refer to the CZone Configuration Tool Instructions for details on how to configure the system).
1. When adding the DDS module to a configuration, select the DIP switch setting, either from the dropdown or ‘Edit Dipswitch Graphically’ tab. 2. Select the DDS unit you are targeting from the list. The serial number can be found on the label on top of the DDS module.
6 Bilge Pump Monitoring The CZone DDS has advanced bilge pump functionality on all relay output channels. This allows pump control and external (automatic) voltage detection from a single wire. CZone status indicators will illuminate if an external voltage is detected from automatic float switches or CZone can trigger system alarms to notify owners of automatic bilge pump operation, and optionally use this run signal to turn on other circuits, like additional pumps.
