5.4 Connectors
The bus connector is an NMEA2000 compatible male Micro-C 5 pin connector. It is not recommended to connect a T-connector directly to the unit; a drop cable should be between the main bus and the unit.
The consumers in and outputs are connected via connectors. Only use correct crimp and extractor tools when assembling the connector. Unused pins in the connector should be plugged with circuit plugs in order to maintain IP65.

6. Circuits
The usage of a channel is determined by the model, option configuration and programming. For pinout, see figure 6.1. The Connect-50 connector accepts cable dimensions up to 2.5 mm2 . No LED indicators and touch control on 2110000/010-02225-00 & 2110001/010-02225-01. EmpirBus Connect 50 12V DCM

6.1.3 Digital input – a common line
It is possible to have a switch and a LED indicator on the same channel using the circuit below. The common line channel then needs to be connected to channels 3, 4 or 11. EmpirBus Connect 50 12V DCM Digital Switching Module -
fig 8

The value of the resistor R can be calculated using: R = (Voltage supply – LED forward voltage) / 0.020A LED forward voltage (Vf) = nominal 1.7 – 2.2 V
Example 12V system:
14.5V – 1.7V = 12.8V
12.8 / 0,020 = 640Ω minimum
(680Ω or higher recommended)
6.1.4 Analog input – resistance
Connect the resistive sensor directly between “Sensor GND” pin 32 and the desired channel.
