A complete, pre-terminated kit - Control Module, Alternator Drive Module, cable, fuses, and temperature sensor. Ready to install out of the box. 

System Architecture & How It Works:
Instead of running a bulky 30-foot wire harness back to a central box, the Zeus Omega splits control into two distinct components: 
  • The Brain (Control Module - AZCM): Mounts near the battery bank. It manages system intelligence, native Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and app integrations.
  • The Muscle (Alternator Drive Module - AZADM): Mounts directly in the engine bay at the alternator. It is epoxy-potted, IP68 waterproof, and built to withstand 100°C–105°C engine bay heat. 
  • The Connection: A single, pre-terminated 5-meter data cable links the two modules, eliminating complex wire crimping. 
Key Features
  • Engine Run Detection: The system automatically senses when the engine is spinning, entirely eliminating the need to wire a dedicated ignition signal.
  • Multi-Voltage Support: Natively supports 12V, 24V, 36V, and 48V systems.
  • Universal Compatibility: Integrates with any externally regulated alternator (both P-type and N-type, selectable right in the app).
  • Advanced Smart Integrations: Features seamless connectivity with Victron DVCC, NMEA 2000, RV-C, CZone, and smart BMS battery systems.
  • Scalability: A single Control Module can synchronize and scale up to six alternators simultaneously (perfect for multi-engine catamarans) by adding extra Drive Modules.
  • Safety Backup: Includes an Emergency Charge Mode that safely charges the batteries even if the main Control Module fails.

Specifications

Electrical & Operational Specs
System Voltages Supported: 12V, 24V, 36V, and 48V (fully user-customizable up to 52V via the app).
Alternator Field Polarity Compatibility: Supports both P-Type (B-Circuit) and N-Type (A-Circuit) externally regulated alternators.
Battery Chemistry Libraries: Pre-configured charge profiles for Lithium (LiFePO4), AGM, Gel, and Flooded Lead Acid.
Engine Detection: Auto-detects engine rotation (stator RPM sensing); no ignition wire required.
Scalability: 1 Control Module natively supports up to 5 or 6 Alternator Drive Modules (ADMs) for multi-engine sync

Installation Details

Step 1: Mounting the Modules
The Control Module (AZCM): Mount this inside a dry, protected cabin area close to your house battery bank.
The Alternator Drive Module (AZADM): Mount this directly inside the engine bay right next to or on the alternator. It is epoxy-potted and IP68 waterproof to handle harsh engine heat and moisture.
Step 2: Alternator (Engine Bay) Wiring
Connect the short harness from the AZADM (Drive Module) to your alternator.
Field Wire: Connects to the alternator’s external field terminal to control power generation.
Stator Signal Wire: Tap into the alternator's stator/tachometer output post. This tracks engine rotation and RPM.
Temperature Sensor: Secure the thermistor lug directly onto the alternator core/case to prevent overheating.
Power & Ground: Connect the main positive and negative lines. (Note: If your alternator uses an isolated ground, ensure the negative goes directly to the negative post rather than the engine block).
Step 3: Battery (Dry Zone) Wiring
Connect the AZCM (Control Module) to your battery bank Voltage Sense Wires: Attach the positive and negative voltage sense leads directly to your battery terminals for highly accurate voltage readings.
Hall Effect Shunt: Clamp the clip-on current sensor over the main battery cable. No cutting or splicing of thick battery cables is required.
Power Supply: Connect the module's main power lead through an inline 5-amp fuse to a standalone battery switch or electronic power switch.
Step 4: System Integration & Comm Cable
Bridge the Modules: Run the included 5-meter pre-terminated data cable between the engine bay (AZADM) and the battery cabin (AZCM). Simply click and plug the waterproof connectors into place.
Network (Optional): If connecting to a display or smart system, run an RJ45/CAN bus cable from the AZCM to your network (such as a Victron Cerbo GX or NMEA 2000 backbone). Built-in switchable termination resistors mean you do not need external plugs.
Step 5: App Configuration
Download the ARCO Zeus App on your smartphone or tablet.Turn on your system power and connect via password-secured Bluetooth. Set your system voltage (12V, 24V, 36V, or 48V).I
nput your total battery bank capacity in Amp Hours (Ah).
Select your battery chemistry or specific manufacturer brand from the pre-set library (e.g., LiFePO4).
Select your alternator field polarity (P-type or N-type) to complete the commissioning process
