MARINE ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION REDEFINED
SmartWiring is a modular approach to marine electrical distribution that makes professional boat wiring simpler to build, easier to understand and easier to maintain.
Position distribution where it is needed, run duplex cable directly to the equipment, and create a clean electrical system that can grow with your boat.
From simple passive distribution to individually fused and monitored circuits, use as much — or as little — intelligence as the installation requires.
THE PRINCIPLE
Sustainable electrical wiring architecture
SmartWiring has been designed to make a well-engineered electrical installation easier to build, not more complicated.
THE PROBLEM SMARTWIRING SOLVES
Do these sound familiar?
Boat wiring often becomes difficult not because of one bad circuit, but because years of additions and compromises remove the structure from the system
01
It will be much easier to just piggyback this new device off an existing 12v feed.
One shortcut become the next problem.
02
Every modification seems to create another wiring problem.
Change should not compound complexity.
03
My electrical installation has grown over time and is difficult to understand.
Growth without architecture becomes clutter.
04
Tracing a fault takes hours because I don’t know where everything goes.
Fault finding becomes cable tracing.
05
Why isn’t my Bilge pump working? Is it the supply, fuse, wiring or the pump itself?
As the boat evolves, The answer should be visible immediately.
SmartWiring is designed to prevent exactly these problems. It gives the electrical system a clear, structured architecture from the outset – one that remains understandable as the boat electrical infrastructure evolves.
THE PRINCIPLE
Professional boat wiring made simple
Distribute power where it is needed, then run a correctly sized duplex cable directly from the SmartWiring block to each device.
HOW SMARTWIRING WORKS
Four straightforward steps
SmartWiring has been designed to make a well-engineered electrical installation easier to build, not more complicated.
The principle is simple: distribute power where it is needed, then run a correctly sized duplex cable directly from the SmartWiring block to each device.
01
Position the distribution block
Mount the block close to the equipment it will supply and feed it from an appropriately rated, protected circuit.
02
Connect the circuit
Run correctly sized duplex cable directly from the block to the device.
03
Protect the circuit
Fit the correct fuse for the cable and circuit.
04
Add monitoring when required
Connect Smart Terminal Blocks through the Smart Terminal Controller when circuit visibility is required.
THE PRINCIPLE
That’s it!
No unnecessary wiring complexity. No need to route every individual circuit back to one central distribution panel.
The result is a clean, logical electrical installation in which circuits are easy to identify, wiring is easy to follow, and equipment can be added or changed without creating another layer of complexity.
ONE MODULAR FAMILY
Build the system to suit your boat.
SmartWiring uses a family of compact, modular terminal blocks that can be positioned around the boat wherever power needs to be distributed.
From standard 4-way and 8-way Smart Terminal Blocks to high-current versions, Passive Terminal Blocks, busbars and the Smart Terminal Controller, each part of the family follows the same simple principle: create an organised electrical system that is easy to install, understand, maintain and expand.
Start with better wiring : Add further blocks, monitoring and automation as the boat evolves without rebuilding the underlying distribution architecture.
THE PRINCIPLE
Use intelligence where it adds value.
You do not need to make every circuit intelligent to make the whole electrical system better.
FLEXIBLE DISTRIBUTION
One block. one supply or two
Smart Terminal Blocks use a removable link bar that allows their two fused banks to operate together or independently.
On an 8-way block that means either 1 supply to 8 fused outputs, or 2 independent supplies to 2 x 4 fused outputs.
THE SMARTWIRING FAMILY
One architecture from the backbone to branch circuits.
Choose the right level of protection, monitoring an distribution to each part of the boat while retaining a consistent installation method.
STB
Smart Terminal Blocks
Individually fused and monitored distribution with local circuit-status indication.
HC
High-Current Smart Blocks
The same organised approach for equipment requiring higher-current distribution.
PTB
Passive Terminal Blocks
Straightforward grouped local distribution where individual monitoring is unnecessary.
STC
Smart Terminal Controller
Connects monitored blocks to SmartBoat and mySmartApp.
BUS
SmartWiring Busbars
Robust high-current backbone distribution within the same organised architecture.
Smart + Passive Together
A monitored, fused Smart Terminal Block output can feed a Passive Terminal Block for grouped loads that do not need individual monitoring
Distributed with it makes sense
Position blocks near group of equipment rather than automatically returning every branch circuit to one large central panel.
Built for expansion
Add blocks and retain spare terminals so future equipment becomes a straightforward extension rather than another compromise.
THE PRINCIPLE
Professional boat wiring made simple
Distribute power where it is needed, then run a correctly sized duplex cable directly from the SmartWiring block to each device.
A WIRING SYSTEM THAT IS EASIER TO MAINTAIN
The SmartWiring value appears every time something changes!
A structured electrical system isn’t just neater when it is installed. Its real value becomes apparent every time something is added, changed or stops working.
The principle is simple: distribute power where it is needed, then run a correctly sized duplex cable directly from the SmartWiring block to each device.
01
Find faults faster
Separate supply or fuse problems from downstream wiring or equipment more quickly.
02
Keep systems separated
Arrange loads into appropriately protected banks so one fault need not remove unrelated equipment.
03
Protect essential circuits
Supply bilge pumps, alarms and other essential equipment from appropriately protected circuits.
04
Plan for tomorrow
Leave spare ways so future additions become an extension rather than another compromise.
05
Easier to maintain
Clear distribution points and logical circuit identification help anyone understand the installation.
THE PRINCIPLE
A professional wiring architecture is essential for simple maintenance, safety and a more pleasurable sailing experience!
A neat installation on day one is useful.
An installation that is still easy to understand ten years later is far more valuable.
SmartWiring is designed around the long-term value proposition: clear architecture ,accessible distribution and predictable expansion
USE INTELLIGENCE WHERE IT ADDS VALUE
You do not need to make every circuit intelligent to make the whole system better.
Start with better wiring. Add intelligence when you want it.
Because the electrical system is already organised into clearly defined circuits and distribution points, adding monitoring, alarms and automation becomes much simpler.
mySmartApp can also record where blocks and circuits are physically located on the boat.
Replace with Screen shot from Chris
A SmartWiring installation can therefore begin as straightforward structured power distribution and evolve into a monitored installation integrated with the wider SmartBoat system — without having to rebuild the underlying distribution architecture.
THE PRINCIPLE
Install a Smart Terminal Controller and link it to your Smart Terminal Blocks and introduce the intelligence layer!
Then the electrical installation becomes visible to the wider SmartBoat system. Circuit and fuse status, electrical information and alerts can be brought into mySmartApp.
