Detailed description

Designed for marine environments and specialized vehicles, the CZone 6-way waterproof keypad (portrait), part number 80-911-0163-00, offers integrated control and monitoring capabilities. This compact keypad is suited for applications requiring direct control of essential circuits via a touch interface. It provides an efficient solution for dashboards where space is limited, or as a secondary control point in larger installations.

Integration and robustness

With an IPX7 waterproof rating, this CZone keypad is submersible and withstands marine conditions. It connects via a Micro-C CAN port to an NMEA 2000 network, simplifying wiring to a single network cable, reducing clutter. Power is managed through the network, accepting 9 to 16 V, with a maximum consumption of 56 mA and only 1.8 mA in standby, contributing to efficient energy management. It complies with CE, ABYC, NMEA, and ISO8846/SAEJ1171 standards (ignition protection).

Advanced control features

The keypad features dimmable RGB backlighting, allowing customization of color and brightness for all onboard lighting conditions. Status LEDs indicate circuit operation and provide fault indication in case of blown fuses. The integrated fuse panel is ignition-protected. Timer functions are available for specific circuits such as live wells, and time-based switching is possible if GPS time is present on the network. The keypad also monitors voltage on the NMEA 2000 network with load shedding capabilities. These features enable precise and automated management of connected equipment.

Installation and compatibility

Measuring 107 x 77 x 32 mm and weighing 0.115 kg, the keypad installs easily with three options: front-mount, rear-mount, or flush-mount, using a simple hole saw cutout. Default factory settings allow plug-and-play installation with one-to-one circuit mapping. It can be used as a standalone system with a CZone Contact 6 PLUS module, offering a turnkey solution for managing six circuits. It can also be added as an additional controller to any existing CZone system, complementing interfaces such as CZone touchscreens or compatible MFDs. Customizable overlays allow circuit labeling to be adapted to user-specific needs, optimizing ergonomics and clarity of use.

Expert opinion

« CZone 6-way portrait: robust touchscreen interface for circuit control »

The CZone 6-way (portrait) waterproof keypad is an essential control solution for recreational vessels and specialized vehicles requiring a robust and dedicated interface. Its compact size and portrait orientation make it particularly suitable for dashboards where space is limited, allowing critical control functions to be integrated without monopolizing the main display. We recommend it for applications where the reliability of tactile control is paramount, such as bilge pump management, navigation lighting, or livewell equipment, where physical feedback is often preferred over a touch interface on an MFD.

Installation is simplified by its NMEA 2000 connectivity via a single Micro-C CAN port and its integrated fuse panel, thereby reducing the number of cables and installation time. The option for flush or surface mounting, combined with installation using a hole saw, offers significant flexibility. While it can operate in plug-and-play mode with a Contact 6 PLUS module for standalone systems, its added value is maximized when used as an additional controller within a broader CZone network. It allows specific functions to be offloaded, freeing up multifunction displays for navigation or other complex tasks.

This keypad is not designed for managing a complete complex electrical system but excels in the direct and reliable control of defined circuits. For centralized management and advanced automation scenarios, it must be integrated into a full CZone system with a processor and, potentially, a touchscreen display. Its customization via overlays is a major asset for adapting its use to the specific ergonomics of each helm station.
