B&G is renowned for tried and trusted solutions and is ever evolving to off er the best technology to the customer. About this manual Instructions in this handbook describe the installation and routine maintenance of the H5000 system. Introduction | H5000 Installation...
System introduction The innovative B&G H5000 instrument system is powered by a smart Central Processing Unit (CPU) with the ability to run three levels of software, Hydra, Hercules and Performance. H5000 is designed for all sailing types from cruising to racing and provides the sophistication you need without over-complication.
H5000 system example An example of a typical H5000 system. At the centre of the system is the Central Processor Unit (CPU). All sensor information is fed back to the CPU and can be easily controlled and confi gured via the Graphic Display or webserver.

Planning Mounting locations H5000 CPU The H5000 CPU should be installed in a dry place with easy accessibility. The enclosure is water resistant to IP65 but will not survive prolonged immersion. The engine box is NOT a good place to install your instrument system processors; it is hot and electrically noisy.

Essential network information • The network consists of a linear “backbone” from which “drop cables” connect to H5000 and NMEA 2000 devices • H5000 products use Micro-C style connectors, this allows compatibility with NMEA 2000 networks. Note: Some B&G products use Simnet proprietary connectors, but are compatible via adaptor cables.
(which are terminated). “Star” shaped layouts are ineffi cient, may cause incorrect operation and should be avoided. Note: H5000 uses Micro-C network cabling compatible with NMEA 2000 devices. Don’t do this... Do this...
Backbone length is calculated by adding cable lengths a, b and c as shown below. Note: Cable lengths a & c should not exceed 6 meters.

For networks that exceed the recommended network cabling maximum length a bridged network adaptor can be used. Note: When using a network bridge it is important that both networks are powered and terminated as per H5000 network guidelines. PILOT Description...
Network power supply The H5000 network requires its own 12 V DC power supply protected by a 5 amp fuse or breaker. For 24 V systems, use a DC-DC converter to supply 12 V Connect power at any location along the backbone for smaller systems.
