Introduction
Introduction to the system
The Loop system is used to monitor and control electrical equipment. When connected to
a compatible MFD (Multiple Function Display), the MFD can be used to operate the Loop
system.
!
Warning: The Loop system should only be used to aid navigation. In no
way can this system replace the experience and awareness of the captain
who bears sole responsibility for safety during navigation. The operation of
equipment or devices installed on the boat does not depend on the status
of the Loop system. If the supervision system is switched off or there are
communication errors between the system and the equipment it monitors,
all bypassed relays can be controlled manually.
¼Note: For specific information on the operation of equipment that cannot be controlled by
the system, consult the specific technical documentation supplied by the manufacturer of
the equipment (not included in this manual).

Get the system up and running
To get the system up and running you have to perform the following tasks:
• Installation and wiring
• Configuration of the system

Installation
Mounting
Mounting guidelines
Choose the mounting location carefully, make sure that there are no hidden electrical wires or
other parts behind the panel before you drill or cut. Ensure that any cutting or drilling done is
in a safe position and will not weaken the boat’s structure. If in doubt, consult a qualified boat
builder, or marine electronics installer.
Do not:
• Mount any part where it can be used as a hand hold.
• Mount any part where it might be submerged or exposed to moisture.
• Mount any part where it will interfere with the operation, launching, or retrieving of the boat.
Do:
• Consider the overall width and height requirements.
• Leave sufficient clearance to connect all relevant cables.
• Check that it is possible to route cables to the intended mounting location.
¼Note: The enclosure should be dry and well ventilated. In small enclosures, it may be required
to fit forced cooling.
!
Warning: Inadequate ventilation and subsequent overheating of
the equipment may cause unreliable operation and reduced service life.
Exposing the equipment to conditions that exceeds the specifications could
invalidate your warranty. Refer to the “Technical Specifications”on page
30.
Egon+ board and OP-Box Loop M/M+
The recommended mounting orientation for the Egon+ board and the OP-Box Loop M/
M+ is horizontal (A). If horizontal mounting is not possible, it is recommended that devices
are mounted at an angle of 0-90° from horizontal (B). It is NOT recommended to mount the
devices at an angle greater than 90° from horizontal (C) due to drainage issues.
A B C
The OP-Box Loop M/M+ shall be mounted with 4 screws (not included in the kit).
The EGON+ board shall be mounted with 4 screws and 4 washers or brass grommets (not
included in the kit).

Other equipment
Other equipment shall be mounted as described in the documentation following the
equipment.
Wiring
Wiring guidelines
Do not:
• 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-tie on all cables to keep them secure.
• Solder/crimp and insulate all wiring connections if extending or shortening the cables.
• Use suitable crimp connectors or solder and heat shrink when extending cables. 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 electrical wiring, connections and installation shall be
in accordance with the requirements of ISO 10133, ABYC E-11, AC or DC
electrical system on boats.

NMEA 2000 network
A 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 network requires its own 12 V DC power supply, protected by a 3A fuse.
The following guidelines apply:
• The total length of the backbone should not exceed 100 m (328 ft)
• A single drop cable has a maximum length of 6 m (20 ft). The total length of all drop cables
combined should not exceed 78 m (256 ft)
• The backbone needs to have a terminator at each end of the backbone. The terminator can
be a terminator plug or a unit with built-in terminator

Naviop CAN network
The Naviop CAN network consists of a backbone from which drop cables connect to the
Egon+ board(s). Each Egon+ board is identified by a CAN ID displayed on the drop-cable.
The Naviop CAN network uses the same components as a NEMA 2000 network.
The OP-Box Loop M/M+ should be installed as a bridge between the networks.

Ethernet network
All MFDs connected to the Ethernet network can control and monitor the Loop system. No
setup is required for establishing an Ethernet network, it is all plug-and-play. Connection of
network devices can be made via an Ethernet expansion device. Additional expansion devices
can be added to provide the required number of ports.
The OP-Box Loop M/M+ should be installed as a bridge between the Naviop CAN network
and the Ethernet network.
