    Depending on the measurement results, the Device can switch ON or OFF any of the 28 «virtual» digital switches in its own bank (which can be read by other NMEA 2000 devices and software to check and display the status of the DC channel) and/or in other banks of Digital Switching devices, e.g. to trigger an audible alarm or switch other equipment ON or OFF (see Section III).
  • Page 9 switches fuses Figure 2. An example connection to DC current loads and voltage sources; note the common ground wire connected to GND input. You can program rules to manage other equipment using a set of command strings (see Section V). Each of the eight measurement channels may contain up to 8 rules, each rule can be modified and set to be active or inactive.
  • Page 10 The factory default rules set the Device to detect the flow of the current (above 0.2 A or below −0.2 A) in DC circuits connected to the Device's four input channels. The result is mapped to channels 1–4 of the Device’s own Digital Switching bank, which can be read by other devices, and visualized by channel Status LEDs (see Section V.1).
  • Page 11 After connecting the Device, close the NMEA 2000 connector lock to ensure its water resistance and reliability. After you power on your NMEA 2000 network, the Device Status LED gives a short green blink confirming a successful initialization. Three further green flashes indicate a successful connection to the NMEA 2000 network.

    The Device also has its own internal «virtual» Digital Switching bank with 28 two-state channels. Their statuses are available to other NMEA 2000 devices, and may be used, for example, for indication purposes. Products described in this Section may become a valuable addition to your Digital Switching system.
  • Page 14 Figure 4. Web Gauges screenshot Device's voltage and current data can be displayed with circular gauges or text databars used for batteries (see Figure 4), or as states of Digital Switching channels (upper bar is green – ON, lower bar is red – OFF). If you have external access to your boat’s network, Web Gauges is an ideal solution for remote monitoring of your boat.
  • Page 15 The Device cannot be used to control CZone or EmpirBus modules; they use proprietary protocols and cannot be managed with Standard NMEA 2000 messages. However, the Device can be set up to use CZone protocol to visualize electrical loads on MFDs (see IV.1).

  • Page 16: Typical Use Cases For The Device

    IV. Typical Use Cases for the Device The following examples do not represent a comprehensive list of potential applications for the Device. They are intended to provide an overview of the Device's capabilities in a number of real-life scenarios. 1. Monitor DC circuits on modern MFDs Figure 5.
  • Page 17 For compatibility with legacy displays, the Device sends voltage and current data in PGN 127508 «Battery Status» which is supported by most NMEA 2000 displays on the market. In this case, loads are visualized as four «virtual» batteries. You can turn off the transmission of PGN 127508 in the Device’s settings.
  • Page 18 Figure 6. Basic Digital Switching system that provides alerts on fresh water leaks If the vessel has a NMEA 2000 Alarm Button (see Section III) configured for bank #0 (see Figure 6), the rule will trigger an audio alert. The Alarm Button allows uploading of user sounds or voice messages.
  • Page 19 On most boats, sailors need to save water and do not to spend much time in the shower. Shower pumps are usually automatically activated, and drain the water in a few minutes. If the pump is on for too long, it can mean that there is a problem with intake or drain pipes, and it can lead to a malfunction.
  • Page 20 Run Indicator can be used to get the status of the ON/OFF switches, such as jamb switches installed on boat’s doors or portholes. You will need to connect one of the switch poles to the fused power source positive rail, the second switch pole to one of the Device’s input terminals, and connect Device’s GND terminal to the power source ground rail to close the circuit.
