H5000 Analog Extension

The H5000 Analog Expansion is used to integrate additional sensors that provide analog or pulse signals into your B&G H5000 navigation system. It converts these signals so they can be read on the NMEA 2000 network, allowing you to display custom data such as rudder angle, mast rotation, or load cell tension.

You can connect up to eight sensors in total. The module has:

Six analog inputs for 0-5V type sensors.Two pulse inputs for TTL 0-5V type sensors.

No, the Analog Expansion is specifically designed to work with a B&G H5000 system central processor unit (CPU). It integrates with the NMEA 2000 network of that system to transmit sensor data.

Yes, you can connect third-party sensors. The key is that their output signals are compatible with the module's inputs, meaning analog signals from 0 to 5V or TTL pulse signals from 0 to 5V.

The module is powered directly by the NMEA 2000 network bus. It does not require a separate power cable, simplifying its installation. Its consumption is equivalent to 1 LEN (Load Equivalency Number) on the network.

Yes, the H5000 Analog Expansion can provide power to the sensors connected to it, thus simplifying the overall wiring of your installation.

The H5000 Analog Expansion has an IP66 rating. This means it is fully protected against dust and powerful water jets, making it suitable for the demanding marine environment.

Configuration, calibration, and diagnostics of connected sensors are performed via the H5000 system's web interface. You can access it from a web browser on a computer, tablet, or smartphone connected to your boat's network.

You can connect a wide range of sensors, for example:

Rudder angle sensorsMast rotation sensorsLoad cellsPotentiometersWind sensors with analog outputSpeed sensors with pulse output

The typical power consumption of the module is 0.6 Watts, which corresponds to a load of 50 mA at 12V. On the NMEA 2000 network, this is equivalent to 1 LEN (Load Equivalency Number).

The module has the following dimensions: 61 mm (width) x 131 mm (height) x 45 mm (depth). Its weight is 0.17 kg.

The H5000 Analog Expansion works with a supply voltage of 12V DC, provided by the NMEA 2000 network. The accepted operating range is 10 to 16V DC.

The module uses a standard NMEA 2000 Micro-C connector port to connect to the main network of your instrument system.

The Analog Expansion is specifically designed to interface with sensors that output voltage (0-5V) or pulse signals. The Serial Expansion, on the other hand, is used to connect devices that communicate via serial data protocols, such as NMEA 0183.

Yes, the use of the H5000 Analog Expansion requires it to be connected to an H5000 central processor (CPU). It is the CPU that processes the data sent by the module and makes it available to the rest of the system.

You can install the module at any location on the backbone of your NMEA 2000 network, provided it is in a protected and accessible location for sensor connections.

Yes, the H5000 Analog Expansion complies with the IEC/EN 60945 standard, which specifies the requirements for maritime navigation and radio communication equipment.

The module converts analog and pulse signals into digital data. This data is then transmitted via the CAN-bus network, compatible with NMEA 2000, to the H5000 central processor which distributes it to the displays and other system devices.

Yes, via the H5000 web configuration interface, inputs can be assigned to predefined functions (like 'Rudder Angle') or given custom user-defined names for maximum flexibility.
