Description

The EmpirBus SP8 switch panel is a compact, rugged interface to an EmpirBus digital switching system. Its eight switches send control inputs to the system, while individual LED indicators feed status information back to the operator, replacing conventional switch banks with a single networked panel.

Built for the marine environment, the SP8 is waterproof to IP67 from the front and has a UV-stable face plate, so it can be fitted internally or in exposed helm and cockpit positions. User-defined legends label each switch, and night backlighting with running and alarm indications keeps the panel readable in all conditions. It mounts to any flat surface up to 20 mm deep using the supplied template and connects to the system over NMEA 2000. This is the horizontal (landscape) orientation.

What is the difference between the SP8 and SP12 panels?
The SP8 is an 8-way switch panel, while the SP12 offers up to 12x2 switches. The SP8 is also rated IP67 from the front for exposed mounting, whereas the SP12 is intended for internal fitting.
Can the SP8 be mounted in an exposed location?
Yes. The SP8 is waterproof to IP67 from the front and has a UV-stable face plate, so it can be fitted internally or in exposed helm and cockpit positions.
How does the SP8 connect to the system?
The SP8 connects to the EmpirBus system over a CAN-bus NMEA 2000 network. It mounts to any flat surface up to 20 mm deep using the supplied template.
Can I label the switches?
Yes. Each switch uses a user-defined legend, and the panel is backlit for night operation with running and alarm indication on the LED indicators.
