Naviop EGON+ - 12V DC 16 Ch

Naviop EGON+ 12 V with 16 channels

The EGON+ board is the switching and fuse box of a Naviop system: this is where the consumers are connected, switched, and protected. This version operates at 12 volts and has sixteen channels.

• 8 channels with fuse and relay, maximum 20 A per channel at 12 volts. These are the channels that you can switch on and off from your plotter.
• 8 channels with a fuse only, maximum 30 A per channel at 12 volts. These are permanently powered and are only protected and monitored, not switched.

What is this part of?

Naviop is the digital switching system from B&G and Simrad. Instead of a panel full of switches and fuses, you operate your lighting, pumps, air conditioning, and other consumers from your chartplotter. B&G describes it as a system that connects all onboard facilities with a single touch, and it works in conjunction with B&G, Simrad, and Lowrance displays.

At its core, a system consists of three types of components: an OP-BOX that performs the calculations and translates protocols, one or more EGON boards that contain the fuses and relays and are located close to the consumers, and DAU units that collect measurements. They communicate with each other via a CAN bus, meaning only one thin cable needs to run to the steering position instead of a bundle for every switch.

What to watch out for

An EGON board should be placed close to the consumers, not at the steering position. That is the whole point of digital switching: the thick power cables remain short, and only a thin CAN cable runs to the steering position. Think about that first when designing the installation.

Determine in advance which consumers need to be switchable and which should always have power. You usually do not want a bilge pump or a VHF radio on a switchable channel.
