The CZone SCI (Switch Control Interface) switch control interface is a module designed to integrate traditional mechanical switches into a CZone digital switching system. It converts signals from these physical switches into digital commands transmitted over the NMEA 2000® network.

The CZone SCI module can handle 8 physical inputs, allowing control of up to 16 individual commands. Each input can be configured for different types of switches to optimize onboard function management.

The CZone SCI interface communicates via the NMEA 2000® protocol. It connects to the network using a standard NMEA 2000® Micro connector, making integration straightforward in existing vessel network architectures.

Yes, the CZone SCI interface provides high flexibility. A single switch position connected to the SCI can be configured to control multiple CZone Output Interface (OI) channels. This allows centralized and customized management of various functions from a single physical switch.

Yes, it is entirely possible to configure multiple switches connected to different SCI modules to control a single CZone output interface (OI) channel. This feature provides advanced flexibility for designing redundant or multi-station control systems.

Yes, the CZone SCI interface includes a dedicated dimmable backlight output for switch labels. This feature is particularly useful for improving visibility and ergonomics of control panels, especially in low-light conditions or during night navigation.

The SCI module integrates status indicators via the switch LEDs. These indicators display system operation codes and signal any faults. They also feature a dimming function to adjust their brightness.

The CZone SCI interface uses a standard NMEA 2000® Micro connector for connection to the NMEA 2000® network. For connecting physical switches, it uses RJ45-type connectors.

The CZone SCI interface has an IPX5 waterproof rating. This means it is protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction, making it suitable for a marine environment.

The weight of the CZone SCI switch control interface is 0.281 kg.

The CZone SCI interface is an input module. It is specifically designed to receive signals from physical switches and convert them into digital commands for the NMEA 2000® network, unlike CZone output modules that directly control loads.

By converting signals from physical switches into digital commands on the NMEA 2000® network, the CZone SCI interface minimizes the amount of direct wiring required between switches and loads. This significantly simplifies installation and reduces cable bundle clutter.

Yes, since it communicates via the NMEA 2000® protocol and uses a standard NMEA 2000® Micro connector, the CZone SCI interface is designed to be compatible with existing NMEA 2000® equipment and networks, enabling seamless integration into a modern marine system.

The CZone SCI interface is manufactured in New Zealand.

The CZone SCI module supports various types of physical switches, such as momentary switches, toggle switches, and potentially three-position switches, providing great flexibility for designing your control panel.

Configuring the functions of switches connected to the CZone SCI module, including assigning commands to CZone output channels, is typically done using the CZone configuration software. This software allows full customization of system behavior.

No, the CZone SCI interface is powered directly via the NMEA 2000® network to which it is connected. It therefore does not require a separate external power supply, simplifying installation.

While the CZone SCI interface communicates via NMEA 2000®, it is specifically designed to integrate within a CZone digital switching ecosystem. Its advanced features and configuration are optimized to interact with other CZone modules, particularly output interfaces (OI). Using it with non-CZone systems may be limited or require specific integrations not guaranteed.

By minimizing wiring complexity and converting physical signals into digital commands on the NMEA 2000® network, the CZone SCI interface provides increased flexibility for the location and design of control panels. Switches can be installed where most practical, without requiring long direct cable runs to loads.

The CZone SCI interface operates on the standard NMEA 2000® network voltage, which is typically 12 volts DC.
