Moritz announces a new OCTOPLEX™ brochure

Feb 1, 2007 - Moritz announces a new OCTOPLEX™ brochure which summarizes the features and benefits of their comprehensive monitoring and control system for cruisers to superyachts. This 16-page brochure, which includes component photos and specifications, is available in print, or as a pdf.

Reliability and safety is achieved by utilizing two NMEA 2000 networks in parallel with all OctoPlex hardware, independently communicating on both databuses, offering complete redundancy and elimination of single point failures.

Ease of installation and wiring is accomplished with the use of NMEA 2000 network controlled AC and DC circuit breakers, making it possible to locate circuit breaker panels in close proximity to their respective loads.

Configurable displays allow for control and monitoring of the OctoPlex System via the NMEA 2000 network in multiple locations throughout the vessel.

Extensive monitoring capabilities are available and future upgrades to the functionality of the system are facilitated by the use of the NMEA 2000 standard for all network communication.

Features of the system include:

  • Remote activation, control, and status of all AC and DC circuit breakers
  • Enhanced DC circuit breaker functionality including no-load indication, dimming and current usage
  • Extensive monitoring capabilities, including bilge areas, tank levels, battery status, engine and generator status, AC source status, user defined alarms, etc.
  • Fully configurable displays
  • Configurable brownout functionality
  • Configurable loadshedding functionality
  • Redundant databuses and hardware interfaces eliminating single point failures
  • Simplified vessel wiring and reduced installation costs
  • Standard NMEA 2000 network allowing for 3rd party hardware additions and upgrades

Components of the system include:

  • AC Power Distribution Boxes (16 and 8 position)
  • DC Power Distribution Boxes (16 and 8 position)
  • Electronic Circuit Breakers (ECB’s)
  • System Monitor (Sensor Interface Unit, SIU)
  • Battery Monitor
  • AC Power Monitor
  • Network Power Supply
  • Touch Screen Display
