Connector pack for B&G H5000 Pilot CPU

The B&G CONNECTOR pack, H5000 PILOT CPU (reference 000-12895-001) is an accessory kit designed for the B&G H5000 Pilot CPU autopilot central unit. It provides the necessary connectivity components to extend interface options and simplify integration of this unit within an H5000 system.

This connector pack is essential for integrating the H5000 Pilot CPU with various sensors and devices. It enables adding serial interfacing options and other critical connections for extended communication with existing instruments or specific peripherals.

The connector pack enables additional serial interface options. It is designed to connect B&G HGSC heading sensors, GPS sensors, and other third-party NMEA 0183-compatible equipment to the H5000 Pilot CPU.

The connector pack provides the appropriate connector components for the H5000 autopilot central processing unit, but it does not include the NMEA 2000 Micro-C cables themselves. This is a connector accessory kit for the H5000 Pilot CPU expansion ports.

The primary function of the connectors is to extend the interfacing capabilities of the H5000 Pilot CPU. They allow connection of sensors and external devices, particularly via NMEA 0183 links, to enrich the data available to the autopilot system.

This pack is an accessory that completes the installation of the H5000 Pilot CPU by providing connectivity components for expanding interface options. It is essential if you wish to interface B&G HGSC heading sensors, GPS sensors, or other third-party devices compatible with NMEA 0183 with your autopilot central unit.

The weight of the B&G CONNECTOR pack, H5000 PILOT CPU is 0.04 kg (40 grams).

This connector pack is specifically designed to be compatible with the B&G H5000 Pilot CPU autopilot central processing unit. It integrates into the H5000 system to extend its connectivity options.

Yes, this connector pack is designed to interface B&G HGSC heading sensors with the H5000 Pilot CPU, facilitating the integration of these essential sensors into the autopilot system.

Yes, the connector pack allows interfacing external GPS sensors with the H5000 Pilot CPU, which is crucial for installations requiring a precise positioning data source for the navigation and autopilot system.

Yes, this connector pack is designed to facilitate the interfacing of NMEA 0183-compatible devices with the H5000 Pilot CPU. The documentation specifically mentions a "NMEA 0183 - Channel 2" as a connection option.

Yes, this pack is designed to interface the H5000 Pilot CPU with third-party NMEA 0183-compatible equipment, enabling extended communication with various instruments and devices already on your boat.

The connector pack itself provides interfaces for serial connections such as NMEA 0183. The H5000 Pilot CPU, for which this pack is intended, is a component of the H5000 system that uses a Micro-C CAN bus (NMEA 2000). This pack extends the interfacing capabilities of the CPU but does not provide NMEA 2000 connectors directly.

The installation of the connectors in the H5000 Pilot CPU pack must be carried out by following the detailed instructions in the H5000 installation manual. It is important to correctly locate the expansion ports on the central unit and to secure the connectors firmly.

Yes, it is critical to follow proper cable routing practices. Avoid sharp bends in cables, routing them through areas where water could drain into connectors, or placing them near radars, transmitters, or high-current cables. It is recommended to create service loops and secure all cables firmly.

The H5000 Pilot CPU installation manual does not specify the need for highly specialized tools for connecting accessories. Generally, basic tools such as a screwdriver and cable ties are sufficient for proper installation of cables and connectors.

To avoid electromagnetic interference, it is recommended not to route data cables (including those connected via this pack) in areas adjacent to radars, transmitters, or large cables carrying high currents. It is also important to isolate and protect all wiring connections if cables are shortened, extended, or re-terminated.

Yes, it is highly recommended to make service loops ("drip and service loops") with the cables. This not only prevents water from running along the cables toward the connectors but also provides slack for potential adjustments or to facilitate cable removal and installation.

The H5000 Pilot CPU, and by extension any accessories connected to it via this pack, requires a nominal supply voltage of 12 V DC, with an operating range of 9 to 16 V DC.
