1. Introduction!
This document contains basic specifications, installation instructions, manual channel override and
fuse reset instructions. This and other documents are available at www.empirbus.com.
2. Safety!guidelines!and!measures!
In order to avoid accidental short circuits, make sure to disconnect the power supply to the
Connect-50 before making any connections.
Never use this product where there is a danger of dust or gas explosion or other potentially
flammable products.
3. Scope!of!Delivery!
Use manual including CE/FCC declaration of conformity and Digital Switching Terms of use document

• Max 2pcs Connect-50 can be connected in the same network
• Connect-50 in “master mode” can handle maximum up to 4 bus ID.
• Maximum library component in logic schema whit Connect-50 in master mode, 500pcs.

5.3!Power!feed!
The power is supplied on the two M6 bolts with positive on the left (marked with +) and negative on
the right (marked with -). The total max output is 50A.
No LED indicators and touch control on 2110000 & 2110001.
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.
EmpirBus Connect-50 User manual Ver. 1.33 6/14
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 & 2110001.
!
6.1!Inputs!
Any input channel can be configured as digital or analog input.
6.1.1!Digital!input!–!negative!
Connect the switch directly between minus and the desired channel.
Figure 6.1: pinout
7/15 EmpirBus Connect-50 User manual Ver. 1.33
6.1.2!Digital!input!–!positive!!
Connect the switch between the source and the desired channel. See data sheet for measuring range
NOTE: The input signal source and the Connet-50 must have common ground.
6.1.3!Digital!input!–!common!line!
It is possible to have a switch and a LED indicator on the same channel using the circuit below. The
commonline channel then needs to be connected to channel 3, 4 or 11.
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.
6.1.5!Analog!input!–!voltage!
Connect the voltage source to the desired channel. See data sheet for measuring range. NOTE: The
input signal source and the Connect-50 must have common ground.

6.1.6!Analog!input!–!multi!switch!
The circuit below enables four separate momentary switches to be connected to a single input
channel. Connect the circuit to “Sensor GND” pin 32 and the desired channel. Note: Multi switch
channel setting is only possible for momentary switches. Only one button can be pressed at a time.
6.1.7!Frequency!input!-!digital!
Channel 6 and 22 could be configured to frequency input. Input signal is flank triggered at positive
flank with configurable thresholds level.
!
6.1.8!Signal!drive!-!output!
Input channel can be configured to drive up to 50mA plus or minus. This will be supplied via an
internal resistance, see below table for voltage drop.

6.2!Outputs!
Depending on the model, certain channels can be configured to be outputs. See the table 4.1 for
model specification.
6.2.1!Digital!output!–!positive!
Connect the load directly between the desired channel and minus. Note: Not use “Sensor GND”
pin 32 as a Negative.
6.2.2!Digital!output!–!half!bridge!
For actuators and other equipment that use shifting polarity, connect the equipment directly
between two channels with minus output capability.
6.2.3!Digital!output!–!Window!wiper!
Connect-50 can support up to two window wipers. Depending of the electrical design of the window
wiper, two different circuits are possible. Most common is window wiper circuit 1. See figure 6.2.
Any channel can be used for Ch X and Ch Y. Channel 3 or 4 is used as high speed channel. Note: The
diode is never connected to channel 3 or 4.
