Page 7: Zeus2 Overview
Zeus2 overview The Zeus2 range of multifunction displays consist of rugged marine displays with built in powerful marine processors. Display size choices are 7”, 9”, and 12” . All models come with a built in 10 Hz high gain GPS antenna. The ability to network over NMEA 2000 and ethernet allows access to data as well as control of numerous optional devices that can provide radar, audio entertainment, weather and even digital switching. -

Page 10: Hardware Installation
Hardware installation Display mounting location Choose the mounting locations carefully before you drill or cut; The display should be mounted so that the operator can easily use the controls and clearly see the display screen. B&G displays are high-contrast and anti-refl ective, and are viewable in direct sunlight, but for best results install the display out of direct sunlight. -
Page 11: Display Installation
Display installation Bracket mounting Place the bracket in the desired mounting location, and use a pencil or permanent marker to mark drilling locations. Note: ensure that the chosen location has enough height to accomodate the display fi tted in the bracket, and allows tilting of the display. - Page 12 Flush mounting Check the template for scaling accuracy, using a tape measure or ruler against the ruler printed on the template. Cut away excess paper if required, and tape template 7" 8" 2" to mounting surface. Check it is correctly aligned to a 7"...

Page 13: Wiring
Wiring Guidelines Care must be taken when running cables in a boat, to ensure that the cables are protected from damage and do not interfer with mechanical systems such as throttle cables and hatch covers. At each end of a cable, it is advisable to leave a short loop hanging lower than the termination point. -
Page 14: Power Control Connection
Power Control connection The yellow Power Control wire on the Zeus2 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. It can be confi gured at the installation stage to control the power state of displays and compatible devices. -

Ethernet device connection Ethernet is used to interconnect high bandwidth devices such as radar, sonar, and other multi function displays. -
Page 20: Software Setup
Software setup The Zeus2 requires some initial confi guration before use, in order to get the most out of the product. The following sections focus on settings that typically will not require change once confi gured. User preference settings and operation are covered in the operator manual. Pressing the home key brings up the home page, which has three distinct panels. -

Page 23: Diagnostics
Diagnostics The NMEA 2000 tab on the diagnostics page can provide information useful for identifying an issue with the network. Bus state simply indicates whether the bus is powered, but not necessarily connected to any data sources. However if bus shows as ‘off ’ , but power is present along with an increasing error count, it is possible that termination or cable topology is incorrect. - Page 24 Scanner type Identifi es the model of scanner connected to the network. Software version Check to make sure you have the latest software. check website for the latest version. Serial Number This number should be recorded for support and insurance purposes. MARPA status The MARPA status can identify if a heading sensor is on the network and that the radar is receiving heading information essential for MARPA calculations.

control until the sidelobe returns are just eliminated. You may need to monitor 5-10 radar sweeps to be sure they have been eliminated. • Traverse the area again and readjust if sidelobes returns still occur. • Exit the installation menu. Restore radar to Factory Default This can be used to revert all user adjustments. -
Page 26: Autopilot Setup
Autopilot setup Verifying the autopilot connection When an AC12N, AC42N, or SG05 is connected to the Zeus2 system, the Zeus2 will automatically detect the autopilot and an Autopilot menu icon will be included in the ‘Settings’ menu. If no ‘Autopilot’ icon is available in the menu, establish the connection by running the auto select process. - Page 27 Set the drive voltage • Refer to the drive unit table in the AC12N/AC42N Installation manual or to your drive unit documentation for information. Run the rudder test as described in the on-screen instructions Note: If the boat uses power assisted steering, it is important that the engine or electric mo- tor used to enable the power assist steering is turned on prior to this test.
- Page 28 rudder from continuous hunting. A deadband will cause inaccurate steering. Note: The rudder deadband setting is not available when the autopilot is confi gured for Virtual Rudder Feedback. Seatrials A seatrial can only be performed if the dockside settings are completed and confi rmed. The seatrial must always be performed in open waters at a safe distance from other traffi c.
- Page 29 Setting the Transition speed (HI/LO) This is the speed at which the system automatically changes from LO to HI steering parameters. On power boats it is recommended that you set a value that represents the speed where the hull begins to plane or the speed where you change from slow to cruising speed. On sailboats the transition speed should be set to around 3-4 knots to give the best response in a tack.
- Page 30 Setting sailing parameters Note: Sailing parameter settings are only available if the boat type is set to Sail. Tack time When performing a tack in WIND mode, the rate of turn (tack time) can be adjusted. This will give single-handed sailors time to handle the boat and the sails during a tack. A turn performed without shifting wind side, will also be made at a controlled turn rate.
- Page 31 Counter rudder too low; overshoot response Counter rudder too high; sluggish and creeping response Correct setting or counter rudder; ideal response Auto trim This parameter defi nes how fast the autopilot shall correspond after having registered a heading error. The standard value is 40 seconds which should work well on most boats. Rule of thumb: Set to same value (seconds) as the boat’s length in feet.

Page 32: Fuel Setup
Fuel setup The fuel utility monitors a vessels fuel consumption. This information is totalled to indicate trip and seasonal fuel usage, and is used to calculate fuel economy for display on instrument pages and the data bar. To use the utility, a Navico Fuel Flow sensor (petrol/gasoline only), or a NMEA 2000 engine adaptor cable/gateway with Navico Fuel Data Storage device must be fi tted to the vessel. - Page 33 Select the ‘Calibrate’ option. Set the ‘actual amount used’ based on amount of fuel added to tank. Select OK to save settings. The ‘Fuel K-Value’ should now show a new value. Note: To calibrate multiple engines repeat the steps above, one engine at a time. Alterna- tively, run all engine simultaneously, and divide the ‘Actual amount used’...

Page 34: Czone Setup
CZone setup In order to communicate with the CZone modules connected to the network, the Zeus2 must be assigned a unique CZone Display Dipswitch setting. The functionality of the CZone system is determined by the CZone Confi g File (.zcf ), which is stored on all CZone modules and supported B&G displays, such as the Zeus2. -
Page 35: Software Updates And Data Backup
Software updates and data backup From time to time B&G releases software updates to its existing products. Updates are created for a variety of reasons; to add or improve features, to add support for new external devices, or to fi x software bugs. Updates can be found on the B&G website: http://www.bandg.com/Support/Downloads/ The Zeus2 may be used to apply software updates to itself, and to supported NMEA 2000 and ethernet devices, with fi les read off an SD card. -

Page 37: Ethernet Setup
Ethernet setup No special setup is required for establishing an ethernet network, it is all ‘plug and play’ . An NEP-2 connected between an Zeus2 and another network module (e.g. 4G radar) will automatically start working, and relay data between the two devices. Diagnostics The UDB (User Data Base) tab on the diagnostics page, provides information on Ethernet activity, as shown below. -
Page 38: Wifi Setup
Wifi setup To connect to a GoFree device a suitable wifi Android tablet or Apple ipad is required. Navigate to the wifi network connection page on the tablet, and fi nd the ‘GoFree Wifi xxxx’ network. Connect to the network using the eight character password printed on the silver label of the GoFree module. - Page 39 Channel Channel setting is available in order to overcome potential interference to the GoFree device by another RF device transmitting in the same frequency band. Advanced Tools are available within the Zeus2 software to assist in fault-fi nding and setting up the wifi network.
