The Cruzo panel is more than just an elegant replacement for traditional mechanical switches – it’s designed from the ground up for seamless interoperability. It is compatible effortlessly with a wide range of digital switching systems and multifunction displays (MFDs), making it a flexible solution for both new builds and retrofit projects. This represents a meaningful shift in marine control systems, combining modern design with reliable performance and open integration. The Cruzo panel has been successfully tested with leading platforms like Garmin EmpirBus, CZone, Raymarine and others, within NMEA 2000-compliant environments, ensuring compatibility across a variety of vessel systems. - Electrical Data - Supply Voltage: 11-15 VDC - Power Consumption: Each switch: max 30 mA @Vin: 12VDC - Load Equivalence Number (LEN): 1 (1LEN = 50 mA) - Reverse Polarity Protection: YES - NMEA Connector: M12-5, Code A, IP67 - Power Connector: 2 PIN, IP67, MFG P/N: 560-002-420-301 - Wires: Red, Black 22AWG, 1m - Buzzer: 80dB, IP67 - Mechanical Data - Housing Materials: Aluminium - Front: Tempered Glass - Housing Finish: Black - Environmental Data - Operating Temperature: -15°C to +55°C (+5°F to +131°F) - Storage Temperature: -40°C to +60°C (-40°F to +149°F) - IP Protection: IP67 - Actuation Force: 3-5N (0.67-1.12lbf) - Key Characteristics - Nautical Elegance: Blending striking touch technology with an elegant glass front to create a control panel that is both visually striking and highly efficient. - Key Color and Text: The panel keys are fully customizable. You can choose the key color (white, red, green, or blue) and specify the text and icon for each key. - NMEA 2000 Connection: The panel uses the NMEA 2000 (IEC3-61162) standard, a plug-and-play communications standard for connecting marine sensors and display units on boats. - Multiple Panel Sizes: The panel can be configured in multiple sizes all in multiples of a 1×2 base module. Panels can be oriented both horizontally and vertically. - Multi-Function Key: All keys on the panel can operate as momentary (on until press released), latching, or timed (for 5 seconds), regardless of their position on the panel. You, the customer, tell us how you want your panel to operate. - Redundancy: Incorporating dedicated physical controls alongside touchscreens enhances operational safety by providing redundancy, ensuring continued functionality in critical situations where touch interfaces may fail or become less reliable. - Optional App: Using Bluetooth technology, our panels can be controlled by a state-of-the-art App: Exactly as if you are standing right in front of the Cruzo panel. - Enhanced Touch Activation: Effortlessly operate the panel with your bare hands or while wearing gloves, ensuring smooth and hassle-free control in any situation. - Robust IP67 Rating: Engineered to withstand the harsh marine environment, ensuring complete protection of the panel and buzzer against dust and powerful jets of water. - Easy Installation (Retrofit): Offers easy retrofit installation, ensuring seamless compatibility with your existing marine control setup, and a smooth upgrade with minimal downtime. - Self-Diagnostic Peace of Mind: Features self-diagnostic capabilities, conducting automatic checks during startup and continuous monitoring of critical functions. - Tempered Glass Durability: Provides exceptional durability, resistance against scratches, impact, and UV radiation. - Connectivity: The Cruzo Panel offers an unparalleled level of connectivity designed to enhance the functionality and efficiency of your boat’s operational systems. By leveraging NMEA 2000 PGN (Parameter Group Numbers), it ensures seamless and standardized communication between various marine electronics, promoting interoperability and reducing the complexity of network integration. The panel provides direct connection capabilities to the Cruzo Smart Relay via a standard NMEA 2000 Connector, allowing for effortless control and monitoring of multiple devices and systems on board. Additionally, the Cruzo Panels have Bluetooth connectivity, allowing our app to control functionality throughout the boat.
