Extensie în serie H5000

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

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 with sensors providing analog signals (e.g., older temperature or pressure sensors).

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.

You can connect a wide range of equipment 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

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

Yes, installing a fuse is required to protect the module. You must use a 5A fuse.

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

The H5000 Extension Series module has an IP66 ingress protection rating, ensuring high resistance to dust and powerful water jets, making it suitable for marine environments.

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

The module is equipped with two bidirectional serial ports that support multiple standards, including:

NMEA 0183

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

The module is designed to operate within a temperature range from -10°C to +55°C.

Yes, this is one of its main functions. It receives data from NMEA 0183 devices (and other serial formats) and transmits them over the NMEA 2000 network of the H5000 system, enabling centralized navigation data management.

The module has two bidirectional, configurable serial ports (COM) and one NMEA 2000 Micro-C network port.

During installation, you must maintain a safety distance of at least 0.3 meters (1 foot) from a magnetic compass to prevent interference.

Yes, the module complies with IEC/EN 60945, ensuring robustness, reliability, and electromagnetic compatibility for use aboard a vessel.

This expansion module is specifically designed to integrate and operate with the B&G H5000 instrumentation system.

Yes, both serial ports (COM) of the module are bidirectional. This means they can be configured to receive data from a device (input) or to transmit data to a device (output).

Connection to the NMEA 2000 network is made via a standard Micro-C connector, ensuring perfect compatibility with cables and connectors for this network.

LEN stands for 'Load Equivalency Number'. A value of 1 LEN indicates the electrical load that the module represents on the NMEA 2000 network. It is a standard value used to calculate the total consumption of your network to ensure the power supply is adequate.
