NETWORK CONFIGURATION
CZone modules communicate with each other over a NMEA2000 CAN BUS network. Each module needs a unique
address, this is achieved by carefully setting the dip switch on each module with a small screwdriver. The dipswitch on
each module must match the setting in the CZone configuration.
The CZone Waterproof Keypad comes pre-loaded with a factory configuration to provide plug and play functionality
when installed with a Contact 6 PLUS. The factory configuration provides basic switching functionality with ONE to ONE
switch input to channel output mapping. For example, button one on the keypad will control output one on the Contact
6 PLUS, and button five will control output five.
2.3.1 Standalone Installation with Contact 6 PLUS
•
Set the dipswitch on the Waterproof Keypad and Contact 6 PLUS to match the below table.
o
The Waterproof Keypads come with the dipswitch set to the factory configuration as per below table.
•
Connect the Waterproof Keypad to the Contact 6 PLUS with the CZone Smart Harness or NMEA2000 network.
•
Change any desired circuits to have momentary functionality instead of latching (see Initial Power up section).
2.3.2 Networked Installation
•
To install a Waterproof Keypad with other networked CZone modules, or to achieve advanced functionality such
as sequential button presses, circuit dimming or one touch modes of operation, a custom configuration needs
to be installed.
•
Set the dipswitch on the Waterproof Keypad to match the configuration file.
•
All other CZone modules must have the dipswitch set to same as the configuration file.
The example below shows a dipswitch setting of 0000001 where 0 = OFF and 1 = ON
1.
