CZone 2 Module Smart Harness

Streamlined Digital Switching for Compact Marine and Mobile Systems

The CZone 2 Module Smart Harness offers a dedicated, all-in-one wiring solution designed to simplify small-scale digital switching installations. While CZone utilises the industry-standard NMEA 2000 communication protocol, setting up a complete network backbone for just two modules can introduce unnecessary complexity and cost. This smart harness eliminates the need for a traditional backbone, providing a robust, space-saving, and economical alternative for compact setups.

Engineered for straightforward plug-and-play functionality, this harness directly links one 6-button CZone Waterproof Keypad to a CZone Contact 6 PLUS Module. Additionally, it can be deployed independently of a CZone ecosystem wherever an isolated, two-device NMEA 2000 network is required, making it a highly versatile component for marine vessels, caravans, and specialised recreational vehicles.

Key Features and Benefits

• All-in-One Plug-and-Play Design: Replaces multiple discrete components with a single, pre-configured 3000mm harness for rapid installation.
• Direct Module Connectivity: Specifically engineered to connect one CZone Waterproof Keypad directly to a Contact 6 PLUS digital switching module.
• Integrated Terminations: Built-in resistors remove the need for external terminators, reducing connection points and potential failure risks.
• Independent Network Capability: Can be utilised outside of CZone setups to link any two compatible NMEA 2000 devices in a standalone configuration.
• Reduced Footprint: Ideal for tight dashboards, consoles, and electrical cabinets where space is at a premium.

Eliminate Network Complexity and Potential Failure Points

In a standard installation, connecting just two devices requires a separate NMEA 2000 power supply cable, two T-connectors, two drop cables, and two network terminators. The CZone Smart Harness consolidates all seven of these traditional components into one unified cable assembly, complete with an integrated 1000mm power lead.

By significantly reducing the number of physical plugs and junctions in your wiring loom, this harness minimises the risk of voltage drop, moisture ingress, and vibration-induced disconnections. This high-integrity design is particularly beneficial in harsh marine environments and off-road applications where electrical reliability is critical.

Important Installation Exclusions

To ensure optimal system performance and avoid communication faults, installers must observe specific network rules when using this product:

• Standalone Use Only: This harness is strictly for isolated two-device systems and is not required if you are connecting your modules to an existing NMEA 2000 network.
• Do Not Connect to a Backbone: Because the Smart Harness contains internal network terminations, integrating it into a standard NMEA 2000 backbone will compromise network impedance and cause communication errors across your system.
