CZone 80-911-0005-00 Meter Interface

Key Technical Specifications
AC Monitoring Capabilities:
3 x AC voltage inputs (multi-voltage).
2 x AC current inputs.
Calculates true RMS power and kWatts.
DC Monitoring Capabilities:
3 x DC voltage inputs (multi-voltage).
2 x DC current inputs with resolution down to 0.1 A.
Calculates battery capacity in both ampere-hours and percentage remaining.
Protection & Output:
Water Ingress Protection: Rated at IPX5.
Standard Output: Generates standard NMEA 2000 power monitoring sentences.
Alarms: Features user-definable high and low alarm levels for all inputs.

Mounting Guidelines
Orientation: The module must be mounted vertically with the cables exiting downwards to prevent water ingress.
Environmental Protection: Ensure all seals, cable glands, and blanking plugs are fitted in any unused positions to maintain its IPX5 rating.
2. DC Wiring (8-Way Connector)
All DC connections are handled through the 8-way connector
Voltage Monitoring: Connect voltage inputs from battery banks to the Meter Interface (MI). Each input must be fused at the source with a 1A fuse.
Input 3: Dedicated as a voltage meter only.
Current/Amperage: Connect current inputs from your shunts.
Note: Current Input 1 must be paired with Voltage Input 1, and Current Input 2 with Voltage Input 2 for accurate power calculations.
Ground: Connect the DC negative to Input 8 to serve as a ground reference.
Network Connection
Connect an NMEA 2000 drop cable from the MI to your NMEA 2000 backbone.
Ensure the backbone is properly terminated and powered by a 12V source.
4. Initial Power-Up & Configuration
Check LEDs: Upon powering the NMEA 2000 network, the Power indicator should be solid green, and the Network LED may flash to indicate data transmission.
Software Setup: You must use the CZone Configuration Tool on a PC to calibrate inputs and define alarm levels. The module will not function correctly until a configuration file is written to it.

If you ever need to replace the module, you don't necessarily need to manually reprogram it from scratch.
The Trick: Every CZone module stores a backup of the system’s configuration file.
Action: When installing a replacement, simply set the DIP switches on the new unit to match the exact physical positions of the old one before plugging it into the NMEA 2000 network.
Result: The new module will automatically "handshake" with the other modules on the network, recognize its assigned identity, and download the correct configuration file onto itself.
