B&G ZC2 Remote Controller

Overview B&G ZC2 Remote Controller

The B&G ZC2 Remote Controller is the practical solution for captains and navigators who require a physical interface to manage their sophisticated electronics suite without relying solely on touchscreens. While modern glass bridge displays offer incredible visual clarity, using them in rough sea states or with wet hands can often be a frustrating experience.

This dedicated remote is specifically engineered for use with Zeus2/3, Zeus Glass Helm, and Vulcan MFD systems, bringing a professional level of tactile precision to the helm. By utilizing a landscape orientation, this controller is perfectly suited for mounting in height-restricted areas, such as the armrest of a dedicated helm chair or a narrow strip on a companionway bulkhead.

Key Features

• Tactile Multi-Axis Control: The unit features a high-quality aluminum control dial that provides multi-axis functionality.
• Advanced X,Y Cursor Pad: Panning across charts and placing cursors accurately is made simple with the integrated X,Y cursor pad.
• Control Up to 6 MFD Displays: For vessels with complex glass bridge configurations, this remote is a practical control option.
• Simrad HEROiC Software Optimization: The keypad configuration is specifically mapped to work with Simrad and B&G HEROiC software.
• Critical Notification Alarms: Safety is paramount at sea, which is why the unit includes a high-volume 75dBA alarm output.

Applications

The B&G ZC2 Remote Controller is designed for a variety of realistic maritime scenarios where ergonomics and physical feedback are essential for safety and efficiency. Consider an offshore racing team or a long-range cruiser navigating a heavy swell; in these conditions, reaching for a touchscreen is not only difficult but can be hazardous if the sailor loses their balance.

With the remote mounted securely on the helm chair arm, the captain can keep their eyes on the horizon and their body braced while they zoom into a difficult channel entry or check radar returns with the aluminum rotary dial. Investing in the B&G ZC2 Remote Controller is a strategic move for any boat owner who values the combination of modern digital power and old-school mechanical reliability.
