1 Bilge pump is connected to a SNX node (senor water level), to a 16-amp Power Node (electronic switch) and to a Fuse Node 20 amps. The Fuse Node is a backup system connected directly to the battery. You can program the bilge pump to run automatically or manually.

2 Instruments are connected to a 10-amp Fuse Node (manual switch) and to a 10–amp Power Node.

3 Push-button panel has 21 buttons and adjustable red background light. The symbols can be interchanged to suit your needs. LED indicators for short circuits and broken wires/lamps (navigation lamps). Audio and visual warnings for overload and low battery voltage with automatic switch-off of loads. Connects to the bus cable with just three wires.

4 Main fuse box includes: • 50 or 80-amp circuit breaker/s for the bus cable(s) • 10 amp circuit breaker for the switch panel

5 Bus cable consists of three wires and can handle up to a 50-amp load. Two 16-mm2 (AWG 6) wires (red and black) for the power and one 1.5-mm2 (AWG 16) violet wire for the control. The bus cable is 10 or 15 m long and runs through the center of the boat. A boat can have more than one bus cable to provide the amount of power necessary. For 100-amp power consumption, you need two bus cables.

6 Fuse Node is a manual controllable switch that opens on a command and sends the power through to the appliances. The node is a second backup system (necessary for CE approval). The node also includes an thermal fuse and is easy to attach to the bus cable. Available in 10, 20-ampere versions.

7 Power Node is an electronic switch that opens on a pushbutton command and sends the power through to the appliances. It includes an electronic resettable fuse and is easy to attach to the bus cable. Available in 3, 10 and 16-ampere versions.

8 Navigation light board indicates which navigation lamps are activated and indicates cable failures or broken bulbs. It comes in two versions: for sail and motorboats. Connects to the bus with just two wires. Also available with your own print.

9 Al 3, 10 and 16-amp Power Nodes are dimmable.

10 SNX node is a sensor node and can be used as open/close sensors (for hatches or portholes) and on/off (for lamp switches).

11 Nodes are all unique and therfore perfect to install seperately from each other. You can program several nodes under one position at the Push-button panel.

12 With the Monitor RS232 you program the Capi2 software. You can install the monitor in the ship or use one monitor for multiple software installations on several ships.

13 CD Symbols to create your personal push-button panel layout.

14 Cable cutter is the perfect tool needed for attachment of the nodes to the bus cable harness.

15 Dielectric gel to protect the connectors from moisture.
