Connectors

Different models have different connectors. For available connectors and connector layout
refer to "Connectors" on page 10.

Wiring guidelines

Don't:

• Make sharp bends in the cables.

• Run cables in a way that allows water to flow down into the connectors.

• Run the data cables adjacent to radar, transmitter, or large/high current carrying cables or

high frequency signal cables.

• Run cables so they interfere with mechanical systems.

• Run cables over sharp edges or burrs.

Do:

• Make drip and service loops.

• Use cable-ties on all cables to keep them secure.

• Solder/crimp and insulate all wiring connections if extending or shortening the cables.

Extending cables should be done with suitable crimp connectors or solder and heat
shrink. Keep joins as high as possible to minimize possibility of water immersion.

• Leave room adjacent to connectors to ease plugging and unplugging of cables.

Warning: Before starting the installation, be sure to turn electrical power

off. If power is left on or turned on during the installation, fire, electrical
shock, or other serious injury may occur. Be sure that the voltage of the
power supply is compatible with the unit.

Warning: The positive supply wire (red) should always be connected to

(+) DC with a fuse or a circuit breaker (closest available to fuse rating).

Plan and install an NMEA 2000 network

An NMEA 2000 network consists of a powered backbone from which drop cables connect to
NMEA 2000 devices. The backbone needs to run within 6 m (20 ft) of the locations of all
products to be connected, typically in a bow to stern layout.

The following guidelines apply:

• The total length of the backbone should not exceed 100 meters (328 ft).

• A single drop cable has a maximum length of 6 meters (20 ft). The total length of all drop

cables combined should not exceed 78 meters (256 ft).

If the vessel is fitted with a rotating mast it will impact any sensors or radar mounted to it.
Provided the mast is also fitted with a sensor to measure rotation, the effect can be
compensated for.

SOG as boat speed and COG as heading

Use SOG as boat speed

If boat speed is not available from a paddle wheel sensor, it is possible to use speed over
ground from a GPS. SOG will be displayed as boat speed and used in the true wind
calculations and the speed log.

Use COG as heading

If heading data is not available from a compass sensor, it is possible to use COG from a GPS.
COG will be used in the true wind calculations.

Note: The autopilot cannot be operated using COG as the heading source. COG cannot

Ú

be calculated when stationary.

GPS offset - start line configuration

In order for the start line feature to work at it’s optimum, the exact position of the vessels
bow must be known. This is achieved by entering position offsets for the GPS sensor. These
offsets combined with heading data will allow the software to accurately determine the
bows distance from the start line.

GPS Bow Offset

Enter the distance from bow to GPS (always a positive value)

Note: Ensure the bow offset includes any projections forward of the hull, such as a

Note: Radars that support dual radar mode are represented twice in the source list, with

Ú

an A and B suffix.

Radar status

assist with fault finding.

Adjust antenna height

Set the radar scanner height relative to the water surface. The Radar uses this value to
calculate the correct STC settings.

Select antenna length

Select the proper antenna length.

Adjust range offset

The radar sweep should commence at your vessel (a radar range of zero). You may need to
adjust the radar range offset to achieve this. If this is set incorrectly, a large dark circle in the
center of the sweep might occur. You might notice straight objects such as straight sea walls
or piers having curves or an indentation. Objects close to your vessel may appear pulled in or
pushed out.

Adjust the range offset as below when the vessel is about 45 to 90 m (50 to 100 yards) from a
straight-walled jetty or similar feature that produces a straight line echo on the display.

1 Position the vessel in relation to the jetty.
2 Adjust the range offset to make the jetty echo appear as a straight line on the

display.

Adjust bearing alignment

This option is used to align the heading marker on the screen with the center line of the
vessel. This will compensate for any slight misalignment of the scanner during installation.

Misalignment that is not corrected for will compromise target tracking and can result in
dangerous misinterpretation of potential navigation hazards.

Any inaccuracy will be evident when using MARPA or chart overlay.

System setup | Zeus³S Installation Manual

1 Point the vessel towards a stationary isolated object, or towards a far range AIS

target where the AIS icon matches the radar echo.

2 Adjust the coarse and fine bearing alignment so that the heading line touches the

end of the selected object, or the radar target matches the AIS target.

Note: Adjustments to bearing alignment has to be done before Use mast rotation is

Ú

enabled.

Sidelobe suppression

Occasionally false target returns can occur adjacent to strong target returns such as large
ships or container ports. This occurs because not all of the transmitted radar energy can be
focused into a single beam by the radar antenna, a small amount of energy is transmitted in
other directions. This energy is referred to as sidelobe energy and occurs in all radar systems.
The returns caused by sidelobes tend to appear as arcs.

Note: This control should only be adjusted by experienced radar users. Target loss in

Ú

harbor environments may occur if this control is not adjusted correctly.

When the radar is mounted where there are metallic objects near the radar, sidelobe energy
increases because the beam focus is degraded. The increased sidelobe returns can be
eliminated using the sidelobe suppression control.

By default, this control is set to auto and normally should not need to be adjusted. However,
if there is significant metallic clutter around the radar, sidelobe suppression may need to be
increased.

To adjust the sidelobe suppression value:

1. Set radar range to between 1/2 nm to 1 nm and the sidelobe suppression to auto

2. Take the vessel to a location where sidelobe returns are likely to be seen. Typically, this

would be near a large ship, container port, or metal bridge.

3. Traverse the area until the strongest sidelobe returns are seen.

4. Change auto sidelobe suppression to OFF, then adjust the sidelobe suppression control

just enough to eliminate the sidelobe returns. You may need to monitor 5-10 radar
sweeps to be sure they have been eliminated.

5. Traverse the area again and readjust if sidelobes returns still occur.

Sector blanking

Radar installed in close proximity to a mast or structure could cause unwanted reflections or
interference to appear on the radar image. Use the sector blanking feature to stop the radar
from transmitting on up to four sectors in the image.

Note: Sectors are setup relative to the heading line of the radar. The bearing of the

Ú

sector is measured from the center line of the sector.

Note: Sector blanking should be applied very carefully to avoid reducing the radar’s

Ú

usefulness in identifying valid and potentially dangerous targets.

Main radar PPI Radar overlay on a chart

Adjust open array park angle

The park angle is the final resting position of the antenna relative to the heading line of the
radar when the radar is set to standby. The antenna will stop rotating at the desired offset.

30

System setup | Zeus³S Installation Manual

Adjust local interference reject

Interference from some onboard sources can interfere with the Broadband radar. One
symptom of this could be a large target on the screen that remains in the same relative
bearing even if the vessel changes direction.

Halo light

Controls the levels of the Halo Radar blue accent lighting. The accent lighting can only be
adjusted when the radar is in standby mode.

Note: The blue accent pedestal lighting might not be approved for use in your boating

Ú

location. Check your local boating regulations before turning the blue accent lights ON.

Tune

The automatic tuning will work well in most installations. The manual tuning is used if it is
required to adjust the result from an automatic tuning.

Reset radar to factory defaults

Clears all user and installer settings applied to the selected radar source, and restores factory
settings.

Note: Use this option with caution. Take note of current settings first, especially those set

Ú

by the operator if radar has already been in active service.

Echosounder settings

Internal echosounder CH1 and CH2

When selected, the internal echosounder channel is available for selection in the
echosounder panel menu.

When unselected, this option disables the internal echosounder channel in the unit. It will
not be listed as an echosounder source for any unit on the network. Unselect this option for
channels with no transducer connected.

Network Echosounder

Select to share transducers from this unit with other units connected on the Ethernet
network. In addition, the setting must be selected in order to see other enabled sonar
devices on the network.

Structure depth offset

All transducers measure water depth from the transducer to the bottom. As a result, water
depth readings do not account for the distance from the transducer to the lowest point of
the boat in the water or from the transducer to the water surface.

• To show the depth from the lowest point of the vessel to the bottom, set the offset equal

to the vertical distance between the transducer and the lowest part of the vessel, A
(negative value).

• To show the depth from the water surface to the bottom, set the offset equal to the

vertical distance between the transducer and the water surface, B (positive value)

vertical distance between the transducer and the water surface, B (positive value)

• For depth below transducer, set the offset to 0.

Water speed calibration

Water speed calibration is used to adjust the speed value from the paddle wheel to match
the actual boat speed through the water. Actual speed can be determined from GPS speed
over ground (SOG) or by timing the boat over a known distance. Water speed calibration
should be performed in calm conditions, with minimal wind and current movement.

Increase this value above 100 % if the paddle wheel is under reading, and decrease this value
if it is over reading. For example, if the average water speed reads 8.5 knots (9.8 MPH) and
SOG records 10 knots (11.5 MPH) the calibration value needs to be increased to 117 %. To
calculate the adjustment, divide the SOG by the paddlewheel speed, and multiply the
product by 100.

Calibration range: 50-200 %. Default is 100 %.

Water speed averaging

Averages water speed by measuring your speed at a selected interval of time. Water speed
intervals range from one to thirty seconds. For example if you select five seconds, your
displayed water speed will be based on averaging over 5 seconds of sampling.

Calibration range: 1-30 seconds. Default is 1 second.

Water temperature calibration

Temperature calibration is used to adjust the water temperature value from the sonar
transducer. It may be required to correct for localized influences to the measured
temperature.

Calibration range: -9.9° - +9.9°. Default is 0°.

Note: Water temperature calibration only appears if the transducer is temperature

Ú

capable.

System setup | Zeus³S Installation Manual

Transducer type

Note: The transducer type is automatically set for transducers that support Transducer ID

Ú

(XID) and is not user selectable.

Transducer type is used for selecting the transducer model connected to the sonar module.
The transducer selected will determine what frequencies the user can select during sonar
operation. In some transducers with built-in temperature sensors, the temperature reading
may be inaccurate or not available at all if the wrong transducer is selected. Transducer
temperature sensors are one of two impedances - 5k or 10k. Where both options are given
for the same model transducer, refer to paperwork supplied with transducer to determine
impedance.

Restore echosounder defaults

Restore echosounder settings to the factory supplied defaults.

ForwardScan installation

For setup information, refer to the Operator Manual.

Autopilot settings

The Autopilot settings dialog depends on which autopilot computer that is connected to the
system. If more than one autopilot is connected, the Autopilot settings dialog shows option
for the active autopilot.

The autopilot settings can be split between settings done by the user, and settings done
during installation and commissioning of the autopilot system.

•

User settings can be changed for various operational conditions or user preferences.

• Installation settings are defined during commissioning of the autopilot system. No

changes should later be done to these settings.

The following sections describe the installation settings per autopilot computer. For user

Fuel settings

The fuel utility monitors a vessel's fuel consumption. This information is totaled to indicate
trip and seasonal fuel usage, and is used to calculate fuel economy for display on instrument
pages and the data bar.

To use the utility, a Navico Fuel Flow sensor, or a NMEA 2000 engine adaptor cable/gateway
with Navico Fuel Data Storage device must be fitted to the vessel. The Navico Fuel Flow
sensor does not require the use of a separate Fuel Storage device. Refer to the engine
manufacturer or dealer for information on whether or not your engine provides a data
output, and what adaptor is available to connect to NMEA 2000.

Once the physical connection is made, ensure source selection is completed. Multiple engine
installations using Fuel Flow sensors, or Fuel Data Storage devices, require setup of related
engine location in the Device list. For general source selection information, refer to "Network
settings" on page 36.

34

System setup | Zeus³S Installation Manual

Vessel setup

The Vessel setup dialog must be used to select the number of engines, the number of tanks
and vessel’s total fuel capacity across all tanks.

Fuel remaining measurement

The Fuel remaining measurement can be determined from fuel used by engine(s), or fuel
level from tank sensors. Nominal fuel consumption is required to set the scale on the fuel
economy gauge. This value should be determined from experience, over time. Alternatively
the boat builder or designer may be able to give an approximate value to use.

Note: Fuel remaining measurement taken from level sensors while underway can get

Ú

inaccurate readings due to vessel movement.

Note: Nominal fuel consumption setting should be determined taking into account

Ú

typical vessel loads. That is, filled fuel and water tanks, stowed tender, supplies, etc.

Fuel flow configuration

After the number of engines is set, it is required to set which fuel flow sensor is connected to
which engine. Under Device list on the Network page, view the Device Configuration dialog
for each sensor, and set the Location to match the engine the device is connected to.

Unconfigure - defaults the device which clears all user settings.
Reset Fuel Flow - restores only the Fuel K-Value setting, if set in Calibrate. Only Navico

devices can be reset.

Calibrate

Calibration may be required to accurately match measured flow with actual fuel flow. Access
calibration from the Refuel dialog. Calibration is only possible on Navico’s Fuel Flow sensor.

1. Start with a full tank and run the engine as it would normally be operated.

System setup | Zeus³S Installation Manual

35

2. After at least several liters (a few gallons) have been used, the tank should be fully refilled,

and the Set to full option selected.

3. Select the Calibrate option.

4. Set the actual amount used based on amount of fuel added to the tank.

5. Select OK to save settings. The Fuel K-Value should now show a new value.

Note: To calibrate multiple engines repeat the steps above, one engine at a time.

Ú

Alternatively, run all engines simultaneously, and divide the Actual amount used by the
number of engines. This assumes reasonably even fuel consumption on all engines.

Note: The Calibrate option is only available when Set to full is selected, and a Fuel Flow is

Ú

connected and set up as a source.

Note: A maximum of 8 engines is supported using Fuel Flow sensors.

Ú

Fuel Level

With the use of a Navico Fluid Level device connected to a suitable tank level sensor, it is
possible to measure the amount of fuel remaining in any equipped tank. The number of
tanks must be set in Vessel Setup dialog, initiated from the Fuel setting options page, to
allow discrete tank assignment of the Fluid Level devices.

Select Device list on the Network page, and view the Device Configuration dialog for each
sensor, and set the Tank location, Fluid type, and Tank size.

For setting up the Instrument bar or a gauge on the Instrument page with Fluid Level device
data, refer to the Operator Manual.

Note: A maximum of 5 tanks is supported using Fluid Level devices.

Manual source selection

Manual selection is generally only required where there is more than one source for the same
data, and the automatically selected source is not the one desired.

Group source selection

The unit can use the same data sources that all other products on the network use, or
alternatively use a data source independently from other units.

If the unit is part of a source group, all source selection changes will affect all units belonging
to the same group.

Note: In order to enable group selection, the unit must be set to the Default group.

Ú

Devices with no selected group can use different sources than the rest of the network
devices.

Advanced source selection

This allows the most flexible and precise manual control over which devices provide data.
Occasionally auto select might not assign the desired source, which can be corrected using

the advanced source selection.

Device list

Selecting a device in this list will bring up additional details and options for the device.
All devices allow allocation of an instance number in the configure option. Set unique

Note: The following information might not always indicate an issue that can be simply

Ú

resolved with minor adjustment to network layout or connected devices and their
activity on the network. However, Rx and Tx errors are most likely indicating issues with
the physical network, which can be resolved by correcting termination, reducing
backbone or drop lengths, or reducing the number of network nodes (devices).

UDB

Provides information on Ethernet activity.

Network groups

This function is used to control parameter settings, either globally or in groups of units. The
function is used on larger vessels where several units are connected via a network. By
assigning several units to the same group, a parameter update on one unit will have the
same effect on the rest of the group members.

If any of the settings require discrete control, set the group to None.

Damping

If data appears erratic or too sensitive, damping may be applied to make the information
appear more stable. With damping set to off, the data is presented in raw form with no
damping applied.

Calibration

An offset (positive or negative) can be applied to correct data inaccuracies from NMEA 2000
sources. The offset is set on the NMEA 2000 device.

Note: Select the advanced option to adjust local offsets for this display only.

CZone

CZone connection to NMEA 2000

When interfacing to CZone network it is recommended to use a BEP Network interface
bridge to join the two network backbones together.

The CZone / NMEA 2000 Network interface bridge isolates the power of the two networks,
but allows data to be freely shared between both sides.

The Interface Bridge can also be used for expansion of the NMEA 2000 network, when the
maximum node limit (node = any device connected to network) for the network has been
reached or the maximum cable length of 150 m will be exceeded. Once an Interface Bridge
has been fitted, a further 40 nodes and additional cable length can be added.

The Network Interface is available from your BEP dealer. For more information please refer to
the BEP web site www.bepmarine.com.

CZone setup

In order to communicate with the CZone modules connected to the network, the unit must
be assigned a unique CZone Display Dipswitch setting.

The functionality of the CZone system is determined by the CZone Config File which is
stored on all CZone modules and the Zeus³S. The file is created using the CZone
Configuration Tool, a specialized PC application available from BEP Marine Ltd, and
associated CZone distributors.

For more information, refer to the documentation provided with your CZone system.

Assigning the dipswitch setting

Every product capable of controlling and viewing CZone devices must be assigned a virtual
dipswitch setting. This setting is unique for each device. Typically it is set after the
configuration file already exists on the CZone system, but it may also be set in advance. To
do so, access the CZone menu on the Settings page.

When the configuration is already available on the network, it will immediately commence
uploading to the Zeus³S once the dipswitch is set. Allow this to complete, without
interruption.

Setting CZone to display at startup

With this option selected, the CZone control page is shown first, every time the Zeus³S is
powered up.

Backlight

Enabling this causes the Zeus³S to synchronize its backlight setting with that of any CZone
Display Interfaces set up to share backlight settings.
