Detailed description

The H5000 B&G serial expansion module is a key component for advanced integration of H5000 instrumentation systems. It is specifically designed to centralize data from external navigation equipment communicating via serial protocols, notably NMEA 0183. Unlike the H5000 analog expansion module, which handles analog sensors, this expansion focuses on acquiring and transmitting digital serial data, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of third-party or older instruments, essential for performance and racing sailboats.

Connectivity and network integration

The H5000 serial expansion provides robust connectivity with two configurable bidirectional serial ports (COM), compatible with the NMEA 0183 standard. It also integrates a Micro-C NMEA 2000 network port (1 LEN), enabling direct and seamless integration into the H5000 system’s main bus. This architecture facilitates the centralization of critical data from devices such as B&G HGSC gyrocompasses, GPS sensors, or other heading sensors. Flexibility is ensured by configuring NMEA 0183 sentences for input and output, as well as baud rate and refresh rate, adjustable via the H5000 processor’s web interface for precise adaptation to connected equipment.

Technical specifications and marine reliability

Designed for demanding marine environments, the H5000 serial expansion module operates on a nominal 12V DC power supply (10 to 16V DC range) with low power consumption of typically 0.6W (50 mA @ 12V) and requires protection by a 5A fuse. Its IP66 waterproof rating ensures effective protection against water splashes and dust. It operates within an extended temperature range from -10°C to +55°C. With compact dimensions of 61 x 131 x 45 mm and a weight of 0.17 kg, it installs discreetly on board. Compliance with IEC/EN 60945 attests to its robustness and reliability for professional marine applications, positioning it as a reliable solution compared to competitors like Garmin or Raymarine for critical serial data integration.

« Technical expertise: B&G H5000 series extension for optimal NMEA integration »

The B&G H5000 series extension module (part number 000-11726-001) is a key component for H5000 instrumentation systems requiring advanced integration of serial sensors and peripherals. While the H5000 analog module focuses on analog inputs/outputs, this extension is dedicated to digital communications, providing two fully configurable bidirectional NMEA 0183 serial ports. This capability is essential for interfacing specific equipment such as certain gyrostabilized compasses or older GPS sensors that are not directly compatible with NMEA 2000. NMEA 2000 integration via its Micro-C port ensures a reliable connection to the system’s main bus, enabling seamless data centralization for the H5000 CPU. Its robust design, with IP66 waterproof rating and IEC/EN 60945 compliance, guarantees operational reliability in the harshest marine conditions. This module is essential for optimizing data collection on racing or high-performance sailboats, where every piece of information matters for analysis and decision-making.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the H5000 Serial Extension module used for?

The H5000 Serial Extension module is designed to expand the capabilities of your B&G H5000 instrumentation system. It serves as an interface to connect external navigation devices that communicate via serial protocols, such as NMEA 0183, allowing older or third-party equipment to be integrated into your modern network.

What is the difference between this module and the H5000 analog extension?

The main difference lies in the type of data processed:

The Serial Extension (this product) handles digital data from devices communicating via serial protocols (NMEA 0183, RS232, RS422, RS485). The Analog Extension is designed to interface sensors that provide analog signals (e.g., older temperature or pressure sensors).

Is this module compatible with the NMEA 2000 network?

Yes, absolutely. The H5000 expansion module is equipped with an NMEA 2000 Micro-C network port for direct and simple integration into your H5000 system's main bus.

Which types of devices can I connect to this module?

You can connect a wide range of devices communicating over serial, such as:

GPS sensorsGyrocompasses (e.g., B&G HGSC)Other heading sensorsVarious third-party or older instruments using the NMEA 0183 protocol

What supply voltage is required to operate this module?

This module requires a 12V DC power supply. The accepted operating range is 10 to 16V DC.

Do I need to install a fuse to protect this module?

Yes, a fuse is required for module protection. Use a 5A fuse.

What are the dimensions and weight of the module?

The module is compact and lightweight. Its dimensions are 61 x 131 x 45 mm and it weighs 0.17 kg.

What is the ingress protection rating of this product?

How can I configure the serial ports of the module?

Serial port configuration, including NMEA 0183 sentences, baud rate, and refresh rate, is done via the H5000 processor's web interface in your system.

Which serial protocols are supported by this module?

The module features two bidirectional serial ports that support multiple standards, including:

NMEA 0183

What is the power consumption of this module?

The typical power consumption of the module is very low, at 0.6W (50 mA at 12V).
