  • Page 3: Introduction

    Introduction Product description SCP-210 control panel and SPU-303 DC distribution unit are Simarine products used for switching of low voltage DC consumers and devices. The panel and unit are used in conjunction. The buttons on the control panel control the states of the relays on the distribution unit.
  • Page 4: Connecting The Control Panel

    Connecting the control panel The control panel allows connection of up to 8 resistance sensors and 7 voltage sensors. It is also compatible with all other Simarine devices. Power source and power modes The panel requires 12 V DC voltage source protected with a 2 A fuse. Maximum ratings for the power supply voltage source are: o min.: 6 V DC...
  • Page 5: Simarine Devices

    Figure 2: Low power mode enable/disable switch. Simarine devices The panel supports all other Simarine devices. It connects to them through SiCOM. The devices can connect directly to the 2 SiCOM ports. The panel itself provides the power to the SiCOM ports.

  • Page 7: Connecting And Switching A Bilge Pump

    Connecting and switching a bilge pump Note: This function is only available per request when ordering the Nereide 2 system! A bilge pump can be connected to the control panel. The recommended wiring schematics is shown on the figure below. The +12V pin is an input for the battery voltage, and the MANUAL and AUTO pins are outputs.
  • Page 8: Bilge Pump Status Indicator

    Bilge pump status indicator There is also a feedback system implemented for alerting the user the status of the bilge pump connections. The status is indicated by the dedicated button showing different colours and/or flashing. The control panel monitors the input voltage on the +12V pin and the voltage on the MANUAL pin.
  • Page 9: Connecting And Switching Remote Switches

    Connecting and switching remote switches Note: This function is only available per request when ordering the Nereide 2 system! Up to three remote switches can be connected to the control panel. Supported remote switches can have two types of signals for controlling. A “TOGGLE” and “SWITCH” type.

Remote switch connector pin descriptions: Voltage source input, 12V DC from battery, protected by a fuse +12V Input (recommended 1A or lookup into remote switch datasheet). If selected “SWITCH” type: constantly outputs 12V when the dedicated button is turned OFF.
  • Page 12: Connectors - Detailed Description

    Connectors – detailed description Below are descriptions of connectors used to connect to the control panel (cable side). Ohmmeter inputs (resistance sensors) plug - molex 39013022 pins – molex 39000038 Voltmeter inputs: 8 pin female Wago 769-108 Power input: 3 pin female Wago 769-103 SiCAN/NMEA: DeviceNet 5 pin M12 female Remote switch:...
  • Page 13: Can And Nmea Ports

    CAN and NMEA ports Basic description and connecting The panel connects to the distribution unit by using a proprietary CAN bus based protocol called SiCAN. This bus uses DeviceNet 5-pin cables and T-splitters. This is the same cable as NMEA2000 drop cable. SiCAN bus is used to connect the panel and distribution unit, which requires at least 1 terminator for short connections (less than 3 meters) or 2 terminators at each end for longer connections (more than 3 meters).
  • Page 14: Nmea2000 Remote Switching

    SN01 NMEA2000 gateway connected to a standalone PICO. For more information look into SN01 user manual (simarine.net) NMEA2000 remote switching Note: This function is only available per request when ordering the Nereide 2 system! In addition to transmitting data from the PICO, the NMEA2000 port allows the control panel to receive switching commands.

  • Page 16: Dc Distribution Unit

    DC distribution unit The DC distribution unit (SPU-303) connects to the battery through the main switch with a recommended 200 A fuse. The unit has 31 switch channels (relays) each connected to 1 or more output pins. Each relay has a corresponding fuse with a rating that must be the same or lower as the maximum allowed current through the relay.

  • Page 20: Using The Control Panel And Distribution Units

    Using the control panel and distribution units The control panel turns on by pressing the power button. To turn the panel off the power button should be held for 1 second. When the panel turns off it first turns off all the relays on the connected DC distribution unit.
  • Page 21: Manual Switching Of Relays On The Distribution Unit

    Manual switching of relays on the distribution unit In case of an error of the relay being in the wrong physical set state, the control panel will periodically command it to switch to the proper set state. While the relays on the distribution unit can be manually switched, if a user switches them while the control panel is still turned on the control panel will command the relay to the set state of the button within a few seconds.
  • Page 22: Predefined Configurations

    Predefined configurations Simarine currently offers 3 predefined button configurations. A configuration is a definition of which button switches which relay on the distribution unit and the label next to the button. If a customer needs a custom configuration a form to fill out can be requested from sales@simarine.net...
