{"product_id":"qbp861423","title":"Lopolight MFD Control Hub, 10-32V DC, 16-Channel, 10A Total","description":"\u003ch6\u003eOverview\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Lopolight 500-001 is a 10A control hub that lets you switch and monitor onboard lights and other DC circuits from a compatible multifunction display over Ethernet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt runs on 10 to 32V DC for 12V and 24V systems and provides 16 output channels with current monitoring. Each channel supports up to 2A, with 10A total across the unit. The housing is about 150 x 150 x 40 mm, which makes it easy to mount behind the helm, inside a console, or in an electrical locker as long as it stays dry and reachable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlongside control from the screen, the unit has emergency manual override and four input channels for wired switches, so you still have a direct way to bring on key circuits when you want local control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 to 32V DC input for 12V and 24V electrical systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e16 output channels with current monitoring to help spot a failed load or an open circuit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUp to 2A per channel, with 10A total capacity across the hub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePWM dimming available on supported channels for loads that need adjustable output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour hardware input channels for linking physical switches to group control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRJ45 Ethernet connection using TCP\/IP for integration with compatible touch MFDs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlarm buzzer output for an external audible alarm located where you can hear it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManual override on the unit for basic emergency operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hub connects through a standard RJ45 Ethernet port and communicates over TCP\/IP. Use CAT5 or higher Ethernet cabling, or the appropriate Raymarine and Garmin marine network cables when tying into those systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt integrates with compatible touch MFDs, including Raymarine Axiom and Garmin GPSMAP series units with current software. The control screen appears as an onboard app on the display.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and wiring notes\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eMount the hub in a dry, ventilated location and keep it accessible so the manual override can be used if needed. Leave distance from a magnetic compass if you notice interference, with about 1 m (3 ft) as a practical starting point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProtect the main DC feed with a 10A fuse and size the supply wiring for the total expected load. Each output channel is intended for loads up to 2A. For any circuit that needs more than 2A, use the hub to switch an external relay so the higher current stays out of the channel output.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing strand-protection ferrules on the terminal connections helps keep wiring secure in a vibrating marine environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis setup works well when you want navigation lights, deck and docking lights, wipers, fans, or bilge-related alarms controlled from the same screen you already use underway. Current monitoring and the alarm output add a layer of awareness when a circuit draws less power than expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat’s included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl hub hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWiring schematic diagram\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnection layout sticker for labeling channel assignments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Lopolight","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269526057141,"sku":"QBP861423","price":1424.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1300183_qbp861423.png?v=1771544433","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp861423","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
