Warning: Operational Hazard The H3000 system is an Electronic Navigation aid and is designed to assist in the navigation of your yacht. It is not designed to totally replace conventional navigation procedures and precautions and all necessary precautions should be taken to ensure that the yacht is not placed into danger.
H3000 System Installation Guide ABOUT B&G B&G has welcomed the constant challenge to develop new electronic solutions for every sailor’s need. Harnessing technical developments and providing proven solutions has continued to be the focus that keeps B&G on the leading edge of advanced marine electronics.
H3000 System Installation Guide SYSTEM INTRODUCTION H3000 is the successor to the leading Hydra 2000 and Hercules 2000 instrument and Pilot systems from B&G. Hydra and Hercules 2000 and its predecessors have been used and depended upon by the worlds serious cruising and racing fraternity for fi fty years, during which time the systems have been constantly evolving to provide the most dependable instrument and autopilot systems available.
H3000 System Installation Guide H3000 SYSTEM EXAMPLE Above is an example of a typical H3000 system. At the centre of the system is the Central Processor Unit (CPU). All sensor information is fed back to the CPU and can be easily controlled and confi...
PROCESSOR CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT (CPU) The CPU is the core of the H3000 system, taking the majority of sensor inputs and using a dedicated processor to rapidly calculate and calibrate further functions and distribute them to display units and external devices.

The Halcyon Gyro Processor can also be used as an interface to output NMEA heading and AD10 from a B&G system compass, or to accept NMEA heading information from an external compass for use on the H3000 system. IS-2530-01...
H3000 System Installation Guide NETWORK INSTALLATION The Fastnet network installation shown below should be installed in a linear fashion and ideally run in a line from one end to another with short ‘spurs’ to displays and processors etc. A ‘star’ network with many network spurs off one point will not work correctly, and must be avoided.

H3000 System Installation Guide Example 2~ Single network cable. Processor switch to ON. Terminated at processor unit via switch as shown. Add a network terminator to the last junction box at the end. Note: A network terminator must be fi tted across the green and white network data wires of the last unit or junction box at each end of the network cable.

H3000 System Installation Guide ROUTINE MAINTENANCE GENERAL MAINTENANCE Through-hull housings Keep the screw threads of through-hull housings well greased with silicone or water pump grease. Ensure that the outer surfaces of the housing are properly coated with anti-fouling paint. Boat speed sensor (paddlewheel type) Use a stiff brush to remove marine growth that may cause the paddlewheel to freeze, and then clean the surfaces with a very weak solution of household detergent.
