H5000 Zvočni alarmni modul

The H5000 sound alarm module is designed to emit clear and powerful audio alerts for all critical warnings generated by your B&G H5000 instrumentation and autopilot system. Its purpose is to enhance safety and situational awareness on board.

No, this alarm module is a component specifically designed for B&G's H5000 instrumentation and autopilot system. It must be connected to an H5000 central processing unit (CPU) to function and relay network alarms.

The H5000 sound alarm module is powered directly from the NMEA 2000 network (CAN bus) via its connector. It requires no separate power cable. Its nominal supply voltage is 12 V DC, with an operating range of 9 to 16 V.

Alarms are fully configurable via the H5000 system interface. You can set thresholds for a wide range of parameters, including:

Depth (high or low)Wind speedNavigation warnings (waypoint proximity, MOB - Man Overboard)Any other critical data monitored by the H5000 navigation system.

The power consumption of the module is very low. It is 0.6 Watts, which corresponds to less than 50 mA at 12 V. On an NMEA 2000 network, this is equivalent to a load of 1 LEN (Load Equivalency Number).

Thanks to its NMEA 2000 network connection, the module offers great installation flexibility. It can be positioned anywhere on the boat where an audio alert is needed, whether in the cockpit, at the chart table, or in a cabin.

The module is designed to be integrated into an H5000 marine network, but its exact waterproofing standard is not publicly specified. Refer to the installation manual for mounting instructions.

The module connects directly to the H5000 system's CAN bus, which is NMEA 2000 compatible. It integrates into the network using a standard Micro-C T-connector on the network backbone.

Yes, it is recommended to follow best practices for NMEA 2000 cable installation:

Avoid sharp bends in cables. Create drip loops to prevent water from running into connectors. Secure cables firmly with cable ties to prevent movement. Do not route data cables near radar, transmitter, or high-power cables.

The H5000 sound alarm module housing is made from marine-grade materials, providing good robustness and excellent resistance in marine environments.

No, the sound alarm module is not a standalone device. It is a peripheral of the H5000 system and requires an H5000 central processing unit (CPU) to receive alarm trigger instructions and function.

The fundamental difference lies in their function. Extension modules (analog or serial) serve as interfaces to connect sensors and peripherals to the CPU in order to collect data. The alarm module, on the other hand, is an output module, specifically designed to emit sound signals and not to acquire information.

Yes, once the module is connected to the network, alarms must be configured via the H5000 system interface, typically from a compatible B&G display (such as a Graphic Display). This is where you will set the conditions and thresholds that will trigger an audible alert.

To avoid any electromagnetic interference, the recommended safe distance between the alarm module and a magnetic compass is 0.3 metre (1.0 foot).

The alarm module is designed to integrate with the H5000 system. While Triton² displays can coexist on the same NMEA 2000 network, configuration and control of H5000-specific alarms are performed via the H5000 system interface (CPU and dedicated displays such as Graphic Display).

The module is designed to emit a clear and audible alert sound. Sound customization options, such as volume or tone, depend on the features provided by the H5000 system software. The module’s primary function is alarm triggering, which is fully configurable.

The module itself is not a terminator. Like any NMEA 2000 device, it connects to the network backbone. The NMEA 2000 network as a whole must be properly terminated with a termination resistor at each end of the backbone to function correctly.

Yes, the H5000 system and the NMEA 2000 network allow multiple devices of the same type to be connected. You can therefore install several alarm modules in different strategic locations on your boat to ensure alerts are heard throughout the vessel.

The H5000 sound alarm module operates on a nominal voltage of 12 V DC. The accepted voltage range is 9 V to 16 V, which is standard for equipment powered by an NMEA 2000 network.

The B&G H5000 sound alarm module is a key component of the H5000 instrumentation and autopilot system. It is designed to emit clear, fully configurable audible alerts, ensuring that critical warnings generated by the network are perceived, thereby enhancing safety and situational awareness onboard. Unlike analog or serial expansion modules that handle sensor inputs, this module is specifically dedicated to outputting critical information in audible form.

For integration, the H5000 alarm module connects directly to the system's CAN bus, which is NMEA 2000 compatible. This provides optimal installation flexibility, allowing it to be positioned anywhere on the boat where an audible alert is needed. It operates in tandem with the H5000 central processing unit (CPU) and B&G displays (such as Graphic Display or Race Display) to relay alarms audibly.

Alarms are configurable via the H5000 system interface, allowing you to set thresholds for a wide range of parameters, including depth, wind speed, navigation warnings (waypoints, man-overboard – MOB) or other critical data monitored by the navigation computer. The module is powered by 12 V DC (9-16 V range) directly via the NMEA 2000 network, with a power consumption of 0.6 Watts (less than 50 mA at 12 V), corresponding to a load of 1 LEN on the NMEA 2000 network.
