B&G Triton2 000-13294-001 connections

000-13294-001 is the Triton2 digital instrument display. It presents wind, depth, speed and other values received from compatible network sources. It does not create those measurements itself. Autopilot pages also require a compatible pilot system and the relevant controls; adding a display is not an autopilot installation.

The display is powered from a 12 V NMEA 2000 backbone, with a specified 10–16 V supply range. There is no separate battery-positive and battery-negative pair on this component. Use an appropriate drop cable and T-piece on a correctly powered and terminated backbone. A 24 V house bank requires a suitable 12 V network supply arrangement.

B&G specifies maximum consumption of 1.8 W and a network load of 3 LEN. LEN is a network power-budget unit, not a three-amp load. Add the display to the backbone's current and voltage-drop calculation with all the other devices. The product's 5 A fuse specification concerns its network supply arrangement; it is not the display's consumption or a reason to fuse an individual data pin.

The canvas therefore exposes a signal/network marker only. The planner does not carry network power through that marker. Include the display's 1.8 W allowance when budgeting the real backbone feed, and do not interpret an unmodeled network load as zero consumption.

After mounting where the display can be read and its connector remains accessible, power the network and open its source settings. Automatic source selection is a useful starting point, but installations with two GPS, depth or wind sources need an explicit check of the chosen source and any shared source group. A plausible number can still come from the wrong sensor.

Configure pages for the measurements actually installed, then set units and display behavior. Calibrate relevant sensor values using the operator manual. In particular, a depth offset changes the reference from the transducer to the keel or waterline; record its sign and purpose so the displayed clearance is understood.

Check every required page against a known source and verify alarms with suitable test settings. If the screen is dark, investigate backbone supply and drop voltage. If it is powered but displays missing or erratic values, check device discovery, source selection, termination and the sensor itself before replacing the display. Backlight changes are an operating preference; they do not replace planning for the published maximum network demand.
