This Service Sheet reflects all current variations of the standard 3-detent ZF Marine Electronics MC2000 Series Control
Heads
REQUIREMENTS :
MicroCommander/ClearCommand: one (1) 8-Conductor Cable per Control Head lever.
Pluggable MicroCommander/ClearCommand: one (1) Control Head Harness per Control Head lever.
CruiseCommand: one (1) Control Head Harness per Control Head lever.
Included with the Control Head:
• Mounting screws
• Terminals (For 8-Conductor or 1-Connector Harnesses)
• Watertight cable grip for the cable entrance on the Processor (For 8-Conductor)
When the Control Head is properly mounted on a console, it is spray proof from the top only. An adhesive gasket is
mounted on the bottom of the Control Head to seal it to the mounting surface. However, below the mounting
surface it needs protection from water or spray. Consider using a Weather Mount Enclosure, which is available from
ZF Marine Electronics.
MOUNTING AND INSTALLATION:
A) Select the desired mounting locations and make cutouts per template. Refer to the Dimensions Diagram.
B) Check that the two mounting screws will start into the Control Head. Remove Control Head from cutout.
C) Run cable/harnesses between Processor and Control Head. Label both ends with the Station ID. (EXAMPLE:
Port, Center, or Starboard; Port Thrust, Port Throttle; etc.)
There are two types of Control Head connections available: Plug or Terminal Connected. Both types may be used with
MicroCommander, ClearCommand, or CruiseCommand using the appropriate cable or harness. Follow the appropriate
steps for the Control Head that has been supplied for your system.
Pluggable
A) Plug Control Head cable into the pigtail at the Control Head. (Ensure the correct Processor Cable is being plugged into
the corresponding Control Head lever pigtail).
B) When connecting the plugs, ensure that the release button or buttons are depressed and held until plug is fully
connected or disconnected.
C) Connecting or disconnecting plugs without depressing and holding the release button or buttons will damage the plug.
